Fall's Wild Ride

Here we are, mid-October and no classes posted.
My husband and I have moved our home, still in transition in fact, and I haven't had a pinch of mental or physical energy left for anything else.


I've moved my jewelry bench and all of my supplies into the studio's back room Which means there are still boxes everywhere. My focus for the rest of the week is to make inventory for the

EtsyRain pre-Holiday Show

that's this weekend at the Intiman Theater.

Next week, I'll be posting a class schedule, finishing up Halloween decorations and getting ready for our

1st Hallow-versary, Art Party

that will be at the studio on the 28th, 29th and 30th.

More info to follow!

The Jewelry Bags are in!!!

So.
My source for all of the awesome vintage jewelry I have been using over the years for my recycled jewelry line has brought a TON of jewelry goodie bags to the studio for me to offer to my friends and customers!

That is YOU!

Here is just a small bit (20-ish 4x6 bags) that will be available on Thursday night at 5pm at the studio.


His prices are very reasonable. He has $10 goodie bags, $5 goodie bags, a $1 bin a 50 cent bin and quite a bit that is individually packaged. First come, first pick :)

I know what you're thinking and NO, I did not pick through and take out the best bags. In fact, I haven't picked out any. He brought me a big box so that I'd keep my hands out of this stash for you :)

Smart man. Yes, a very smart man.

Nearly Every Wednesday!

Black Door Studio will be at the

South County Community Farmer's Market

every Wednesday, except 1st Wednesdays, through August!
How Fun!

It's a very diverse market in it's eighth year in the same location. You can buy produce, plants, cut flowers, books, recycled art (from us of course), jewelry, soap, honey, handmade toys, etc.

There are multiple food vendors and a children's play area including a "jumpy castle". Yes, that's a technical term :)

This Wednesday, June 30th, there will also be a GIANT tent filled with Fireworks!!!

Stop on by and say hello. 4:00pm to dusk.

You just have to see...
