Montclair Village Oct. 2 & 3

It's time for the Fall Art Festival "downtown" Montclair Village. This is a really small, interesting neighborhood off of Hwy. 13 in the Oakland Hills. My favorite consignment boutique is there ( Utopia), a great kitchen store and bookstore. Of course there is a Starbucks, Peets, Noahs and a few other coffee shops, in about two blocks!! I will be in my usual location on the corner of La Salle and Mountain Ave. Hopefully I will be able to get a mapquest link up before I head out. I was hoping to have some rings for this show, but I only did two, and one of them didn't get finished, so they are still in the oven, so to speak. Practice, practice, practice!!

To Find Mill Valley.....

I am having a hard time getting my blog to list the link to the Mill Valley Fall Art Fair Website.

I don't know how to get there yet myself!

Mill Valley Fall Art Festival This Weekend

This weekend, Sept. 25-26, I'll be in the Mill Valley Art Show, for the first time. A lot of you will remember that I previously have done the Walnut Creek Sidewalk Art Show this weekend, but I decided to try the Mill Valley show. My booth number is 122. It is in Old Mill Park in Mill Valley, and I will add the link to the show so you can access a good map. I have been told the show is in a redwood grove similar to Kings Mountain, and the weather looks great!

I will miss my Walnut Creek friends!

Packing Up

It looks like cool and hospitable weather for this weekend's show. It can be cold in the redwoods in the early morning, though, so be sure to bring something warm if you are coming to Kings Mountain for breakfast.

Ki ngs Mountain Art Fair Around the Corner

I am making new glass for Kings Mountain. I am still working on these, so I don't have pictures yet. I hope to post them tonight.
I also have a "new" dangle option for the "Macha" chain that I sell. There will be new chain options as well.
The blue and ivory pendants pictured at the right are new, and I am working on different colors of these.
Hope you have this show on your calendar. It is at the top of Skyline Dr. in Woodside, in the redwoods. There is a feel to this show that is a little different than other shows. It is completely run by volunteers from the community to fund their volunteer fire department, and it has been going on for years. Talk about community service! The volunteers do all the food, all the artist set up and coordination, and did I mention all the food? I look forward to this food all year. They put BUTTER in the scrambled eggs ( I love these eggs, but I would never put butter in my eggs at home) and the pancakes must have something equally delicious and bad in them, not to mention the hot syrup available to drench over them.
This is down home comfort Fair Food. At least nothing is deep-fried!!!

Sorry to Cancel Tahoe City this Weekend

I have to cancel this weekend's show in Lake Tahoe ( tomorrow, August 13-15), but I will be there next weekend in Tahoe City, Friday Saturday and Sunday August 20, 21 & 22. I am sorry for any difficulty this may cause in your weekend FUN plans. I will have a link to a map on this blog next week for the location, which I believe is the Boat Works, but I will have to confirm that.

Truckee Art Show This Weekend

Hey Fun Girls!! This tired girl with be in Truckee this coming weekend, with new work I might add. This will be show number 4 in a row, so my brain may even be a little slower than my body! I am happy to say I have some new pieces for this weekend, and some new glass hearts! I have a customer from Oklahoma that summers in Tahoe, so this is my only chance to make the heart she wants! I tried some new techniques on my glass pendants, and although these first results aren't too different than past designs, I can see new color possibilities for the glass, and I am pretty excited about it.
Thank God for spellcheck. See you in Tahoe.
