My latest endeavor - A Handmade Moment

Here is a preview of my latest project - I will be competing in a contest to make a 'commercial' for Etsy. I have NO idea how it will go - we have the item done that we are working on in the photo - now we have to make the video. That will happen on Tuesday, next week. Don't want to tell you too much! It's a surprise!

Check back to see how it's going!

Lucketts Spring Market

The Lucketts Spring Market was a wonderful success. I sold a variety of my jewelry - kawaii cuties, the 'Shirley' Necklaces - one vintage earring as a focal point with vintage beads and antique brass chain, vintage picnic hampers, an awesome restored black 1950s Westinghouse office fan ( I still have another if anyone is interested...), wire mannequins and more.

This cute green desk found a home - as well as one of the fans

This fantastic antique buttermilk yellow blanket chest and vintage hobby horse are still available...

My fab fuzzy flip flops were flying off the rack

Here's Shirley - with her many necklaces

My Sister in Law Lisa brought down these wonderful smelling candles

The lucky family who walked away with 3 of the 4 Redmon (Red Man) Peru, Indiana picnic hampers.

It was a lot of hard work, but we had a lot of fun. We are looking forward to next year!!!

Lucketts Spring Market

Sorry for such a dry spell. I have been crazy busy getting ready for the Lucketts Spring Market this weekend. I have been making jewelry, wreaths, knitted goods, painting furniture, hunting and gathering cool vintage stuff, and marking down the 'old' goodies in my shop to take with me.

And of course I have also been trying to keep up with my listing and sales on Etsy and Artfire and Ebay, landscaping with my husband and party planning - at a friends house who is hosting a double graduation party - college for their daughter Alysia, and high school for their son Jacob - also this weekend!!!!!

So please join us this weekend May 30 & 31 at the Lucketts Store and the Lucketts Community Center for a great collection of vendors with piles of cool stuff!

Look for me: Bittersweet Design Studio and stop by and say hi! If you tell me about this blog I will give you 10% off your purchases!

Twitter Thursday

Ok, another milestone for me - I'm tweeting - and just outside my window, the birds are too! I am shaking my head as I write this - I guess an old dog can learn new tricks. Follow me @lizbittersweet, if you so choose.
