Getting Ready for 2010!!


With two weeks left in the holiday shopping season I can't help but think about 2010. It will be a very busy year with exciting new adventures and endeavors. First on the list is the Pasadena Bead And Design Show in, of course, Pasadena. It's being held January 14-17, 2010. How exciting. I wandered through the summer version of this show and thought it would be a good one to try for January. And I got in. I'll have tons of beads. And a bunch of Lea Anne Hartman's silver and shibuichi work. Should be a good time.

Speaking of the holiday shopping season I've got one more Sunday at the Silverlake Art Craft and Vintage this Sunday, Dec. 20. Come on down for some last minute shopping. They hold this at the Citibank parking lot at the corner of Glendale and Silverlake Blvds. And for anyone interested in my last bead making class of 2009, it's being held this Saturday at Lighthouse Stained Glass from 11-4. There are still a couple of spaces left. You want to learn to make beads don't you? Speaking of making beads...time for me to make some more. Don't you think you should go make something too?

Holiday Shopping


I've been neglecting this blog again...not good. Anyway, here I am to talk about my plans for this December just in case you need a bunch of holiday gifts. Each Sunday, Dec. 6, 13, and 20, I'll be at the Silverlake Arts Craft and Vintage shindig that Ghetto Gloss puts on. I'll have beads and jewelry and tools so if you need something made into jewelry I can do that too. It's from 10-4 and takes place in the parking lot of the Citibank at the point where Silverlake and Glendale Blvds. meet. There's always alot of cool stuff. Hope to see you there!

And then there's next Thursday over at Citizen LA's Downtown Art Park on Main St. between 4th and 5th streets. There are a bunch of cool artists selling cool art stuff. Me too!! And it's happening on 2nd Thursdays which is a hell of a event. Downtown really comes alive. All the galleries in the area have their openings. Such a good time. So I hope to see some of you out there but if you can't make it try my etsy store! 'Tis the season for holiday shopping!!

Now if you feel the need to take a glass bead making class I've got one left this year. It's over at Lighthouse Stained Glass in Hollywood. From 11-4. It's a good time for sure. Limited space available. I haven't scheduled any 2010 glass bead making classes yet but there will be a bunch! I do have a macrame owl wall hanging scheduled for January 14th at Home Ec in Silverlake. It'll be posted on Jenny's web site sometime soon. Sadly, Jenny Ryan, the owner of Home Ec and a fabulous lady just recently lost her mother and my heart goes out to her. Please think good thoughts for her and her family.

If you need anything special drop me a line over to my email beadbrains@sbcglobal.net. And Happy Holidays!! Talk to you all soon...now go make something!!!
