Annnnnnddd Exhale...

Whew! What an ending to a few months of fretting, working, planning, etc. The exhibit is UP! I haven't had much feedback on it yet, but everyone seemed excited and while we were getting it ready, people were stopping by and saying how beautiful everything was. Many thanks to Ashley, Claudia and Dru as well as my temporary assistant, my cousin Dan - thank you! Don't forget to go visit my babies - here's the flyer information again :) Oh, and 15% of all sales go to the South County Outreach Food Pantry, so if there's something you like on my Etsy page (http://www.etsy.com/shop/popcultureprincess), now's the time to buy and help people have a good holiday meal!

So, what's next? The holidays!

I'll be bartending a private party tonight for Halloween, and am pounding pavement for more holiday gigs. I am registered with a couple of bartending staffing companies and the Pasadena Convention Center, so hopefully calls will come my way - they are starting to so that's good!

I am looking for Holiday craft fairs, so if you know of any in your neighborhood, school, church, work etc. just let me know - I would appreciate it!

Wishing everyone a fantasmagorical Halloween!

Life gets in the way sometimes...

Hi there! Remember me, haha? It's been a while since I've had a chance to post. Sometimes life gets in the way, and boy has that been the case lately.

Now it's time to get back to the fun of creating! I can't believe it's only a month left to my exhibit in Mission Viejo, must get cracking. On the business side, I finally sent the specs over to Michael today who is doing the graphics for the postcards that you will be receiving next month announcing the show and giving all the details. The printer is all set up and ready to go with 2-sided recycled postcards. It's somewhat unbelievable how quickly I have gone through business cards as well - have to start thinking about getting those done again!

I am excited about taking a metalworking class early next month! I've been learning so much about how to make jewelry, I suppose I should actually make some more, eh?

On the press side, I have been told that the Hollywood Chamber Magazine had a photo and small profile of Pop Culture Princess in it, am eagerly awaiting receipt so I can share it with you all.

OK, off to go broil in the 105 degree heat!

Tons of fun in Mission Viejo!

Hi all! We had a GREAT time at the Prelude in the Park event last weekend in Mission Viejo. I've attached a little slide show of our booth and the surroundings. It was a perfect summer day, grass in between my toes, nice breeze and lovely people. Thanks to all who were kind enough to invite me and who made it happen - congrats on a lovely event!

Speaking of Mission Viejo, I am sooooo excited to tell everyone that I will be doing an art exhibition at the NPM Community Center coming up from October 26 - November 22! So glad people are interested in seeing and learning more about upcycled jewelry! So mark your calendars and try to make it out - it is free and the community center is so gorgeous - it's like a resort!

There is a lot going on for Pop Culture Princess right now, it's been very busy. The photo posted is of custom sterling silver earrings that I made this week - they turned out lovely! I will be posting a lot more items available on Etsy this week and next, and I starting to plan the art exhibition as well as arranging for a number of upcoming shows, so keep checking back!
