OMG HEY

Hey yall!

Well well well, I'm done hopping around our wonderful city with a car load of stuff for this year! Bring it on 08'!

Last weekend ( Dec 10) I participated in a show called the handmade invasion in Gulfport, Mississippi. The event took place at a Flea Market and was originally scheduled to be apart from the actual market, unfortunately I was the only attendi, and after a couple short hours I decided my weekend was better spent at th beach. Yes, the beach this is the south yall! I also went to Bay St Louis for an artwalk which was alot of fun too. Props to Mallory for her efforts with the market and crafty fabulousness all around though, and maybe the next will be a huge and wonderful success. =]

Yesterday was the Bywater Art market- with rain and cold in the forecast I was prepared for the worst. The few clouds that rolled in, rolled out before 9am, and our day was clear, sunny, hot even! A ton of people came out to shop and enjoy their day, and the rain held off till the market was all over.

All in all it was a great way to end my year! To all my fellow New Orleans Estyers, good luck to you in the following weekends, I hope your days are sunny and warm too!
I will see yall in O8!

Maria... cause ya betta' don't.

Festivus and such

So Etsy New Orleans? How are you feeling this Monday Morning. Not sure about the rest of you, but I'm ready for January. The art markets have been great so far, but I am so tired. I know Inexplicable Confetti did well this week, and as I walked around and talked to some of our best ETSY friends, they seem to be doing well, keep up the good work.

I have also been displaying our ETSY New Orleans banner at my booth, and it has sparked some new interest. This months meeting should bring some new faces, and hopefully new ideas.

Now the most important part. The back page of the Anti-Gravity. Did you see it yet? If not you can see it online. Otherwise, pick up some copies and hand them out to random people who look like they might like to buy on ETSY.

Finally. If anyone is taking pictures at art markets, can you send me a couple of your best. I have been too busy printing shirts to remember to bring a camera, and I think the blog would look a lot better with some pictures, because with some pictures of your art, people would have something too look at, and they may even be tempted to read my ramblings.
