Things going on...

  I just noticed it has been a month since I wrote a blog. I hate that! I am always thinking of things to blog about it is just being able to devote time to write about them on here. Especially when writing a blog is a hobby and makes no income... whereas jewelry designing does ;)

  I have been rather pre-occupied as of late. I started a part time job a couple of months ago. I am working a few lunch shifts at a local reastaurant, Coriander Cafe. It is Vietnamese and so YUM!
I really love the job, it is very fast paced and the customers are very friendly and pleasant (for the most part). It is located on campus corner (which is like Dickson St. in Fayetteville for my Arkansas friends). I am able to ride my bike to work and the owner is very flexible with me and my schedule which really means a lot to me. It is really hard to find a job when you own a small business and travel often. It is also really hard to support yourself when you are trying to grow your small business. So, all that being said, my new job came at just the right time and I am really enjoying it. If you are ever in the area make sure you stop by the Cafe for lunch (or dinner).

  Other things keeping me busy...
Matt and celebrated our marriage with our family Saturday, Sept. 10th. You can read up on the details of that on our blog.
I spent about 11 days in Harrison, my home town, working on all of the details. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I am so sad that it is all over... We had such a good time being with our old friends and our lovely families. 



  I am working hard this week so we can leave town on Thursday. Matt is presenting a paper at a conference in Missouri on Friday. Then we are headed to St. Louis on Saturday to watch the Cardinals and the Cubs game. SO EXCITED! I <3 St. Louis!!

  We will drive home on Sunday and then I'll start frantically preparing for Indie Emporium in Tulsa which starts on Sept. 30th. I am double booked for The Plaza Fest and Indie on that Saturday. Matt has offered to run my booth at The Plaza but I am not sure if I'll have him do that or not.
He is actually a great seller of Bella Vita Jewelry!

  After Indie, I might head to Fayetteville for 1st Thursday and a little trunk show for Good Things Boutique's 3rd anniversary. I am kind of holding out to see what the weather does that week.
I have made the drive back to Arkansas so much lately and a weekend at home sounds sooo wonderful. 
On Oct. 15th I will be in Little Rock for Harvestfest, to teach classes and then the 3rd Friday Art Walk the next week in North Little Rock. I am also planning to shoot down to Louisiana for a trunk show at my good pal Leila's boutique. 

  WHEW! Now do you understand why I am crazy?!
My goal this week and next is to restock my consignment stores and to hopefully come up with some beautiful new designs! Thanks to all my loyal customers for your patience. I couldn't imagine executing all this wedding stuff if I worked full time for someone. I am lucky to have a very flexible schedule that has allowed me to take all this time off. Again, thanks!

  2. Woman’s outfit should have attractive colors such as pink orange that reflect to her inner beauty. Swiss watch is very expensive jewelry.
