A Craft Show in Vermont
I was invited to go to a craft show in Vermont with my best friend and her mom. First there was an entrance fee. We stopped and looked at some jewelry, leather booths,wildlife picture booth and some food booths. I could not believe some of the prices that people were charging for things. I did see some nice jewelry and I did get a few new ideas.
One lady did some nice polymer clay necklaces, and bracelets. I asked her if she made them all herself and she said that she did. I also asked if she would consider just selling some of them that she makes and she got mad and said that she does not sell them. She was very rude about it.
I love pocketbooks and wallets. I had stopped at a few leathers booth because I had wanted a small leather handbag to carry everything in. The cheapest one I found started at sixty dollars. Sorry, I do not have that type of money to spend on a bag.
I love animals most especially wolves. I saw a few pictures of wolves, wolves eyes and some wild cats. The pictures started at two hundred and fifty and went up. Too expensive for my taste and my budget.
As for the food part that was expensive too. For a soup mix it was five dollars and it said it served four people but actually would have served two for a good bowl of soup. Some of the dips that I tried were really good but they where three for ten. plus you still had to buy the sour cream and what ever else you want for it.
After looking at this show I have decided that I will not go back next year. But the good thing I realize that my prices for my jewelry are very reasonable. I cannot believe some of the prices that they were charging.

Just Starting Out
One day I was looking in the craft store and I saw a couple of different bead kits. I bought the both of them and mixed and matched them together. I love to put different colors together. This started out as just making jewelry for family and friends. I decided that I would start making jewelry and sell it since so many people have been commenting on how much they love the jewelry that I have made.
I have made cancer awareness necklaces and bracelets.One of them I gave to my aunt for my cousins wedding. She has had many compliments on it. The necklace was teal cats eye beads. It is also a cancer color for ovarian/cervical cancer.
