I am a stay at home to three amazing little girls (6, 4 and 2). They keep me very busy, but in my spare time (usually late, late at night) I love creating jewelry pieces.
I am basically addicted to Etsy and jewelry making because it feeds my creative side and allows me to stay home with my girls. I have met a lot of nice people through this and found some amazing artists.
I started making jewelry because I was always interested in it and I could never find exactly what I wanted at the store. Plus I think it is a great feeling to wear something you made and to make gifts for my friends and family.
I am currently getting ready for my first show! If you have any tips or suggestions I would LOVE to hear them. Thanks!!!

Way too many to mention! I recently bought some art from EarthArt and just love it.
Good luck with your first show. I participate in a lot of parenting shows, so I can give you advice from that perspective. Have lots of change, make sure you have someone else who can cover your booth so you can take snack/bathroom breaks, bring lots of promotional materials and figure out a way to have yours really stand out (you don't want yours to end up in the recycling bin the moment people arrive home). Good luck and have fun!
Oh yeah -- plan for some rest and relaxation before/after the show. You will be pretty tired.
