Hello Everyone!  It has been a busy month or so for us, I can’t believe I haven’t been able to find time to work in my gardens.  I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying all the flowers that are in bloom. 

My sister, Connie, and I were recently at the National Halloween Convention.  Since she and I both have stores on-line, we decided to pack up some of our items and put together a booth at the show.  Wow….. we had no clue what we were getting into!  Our first suprise was seeing how much stuff we actually have, we couldn’t get it all in the van!   After sorting through everything and leaving a lot of items behind, we finally got on the road about six hours later, we got to our hotel around 1:00am.  After a few hours of sleep, it was time to head to unload and set up.  Wow again!  Who know it could take so long to unpack and decorate a small booth?  We had feather trees, ornaments, jewelry and some other items.  There was a nice selection of both John Wind and Art by Amy, in addition to some of our own designs.  I could go on, but I think you get the idea.  It was a great experience, and I know we learned a lot about how to make things easier for us for the next time.  It was also great to meet everyone from Spookytime Jingles. 

For those of you who have not experienced “Art by Amy”, I found this video, Amy talks about her jewelry, that will give you a little insight to the artist and her art.  Make sure to check it out!

Well, the AmericasMart in Atlanta is coming to an end.  It’s been fun, tiring and expensive!!  There are so many wonderful things to see here, that it has been fun to explore, but I only saw the tip of the iceberg.  I have tried to go in to the Temps with a “game plan”, but always get distracted by something.  I still have to find  supplies for my Halloween feather trees, but have yet to discover the perfect place to shop.  If anyone knows where I can go to find black stem wrap and rolls of tissue paper, please let me know!!  I also need to get wire for the trees and and for my new jewelry projects.  Oh, and I could use some fun beads for my jewelry.  I especially am interested in colorful beads for Christmas, Halloween and Patriotic.
