The Israeli American Council - IAC Celebrate Israel Festival has been busy, so I forgot to take a photo until I was already schvitzy, but I can't pack up before getting a selfie, right?

I may have only made half my booth fee back in day-of sales, but enough people took my card with solid ideas for ketubah or anniversary commissions already forming that I'm preeeeeetty sure I'll make that difference up later... And even if I don't, it was a fun last single-day vending opportunity before I dive into prepping my booth at Koroneburg Renaissance Festival for opening day on May 29!

Day 2 of the Santa Monica Bead & Design Show has been busy, just the way it should be! There's still one more day to pop by: the vendor hall is open 10-5 tomorrow/Sunday; will I get to see you there?

The first morning at the Santa Monica Bead & Design Show has been great; it's so nice being able to schmooze with art collectors about my in-person again for the first time since 2019! 🥰

I'm also using Sonny the Chair (my new wheels) at a show for the first time, and lemme tell ya... Even though she definitely needs a new tire that I haven't gotten around to replacing yet, she has already made this event So. Much. Easier. If for no other reason than because I can wheel around my booth space instead of constantly standing up when customers ask about a piece/sitting back down when they leave.

There's still plenty of time to stop by and visit me and/or shop a wide variety of bead, art, and design artisans! The exhibit hall is open 10am-6pm today and tomorrow/Saturday, then 10-5 on Sunday.
