Lots of Fun!!!

A few days after the bridal show, I was invited to attend the Diva's Fashion Clothes Xchange in Lake Mary. What an exciting event is all I can say. Because I know Patti Manzo the most fabulous wedding planner (www.getmetothealter.com) - was able to hook me up with a table for my jewelry for the event.

Get this - you bring five articles of clothing with you, and in exchange you get 5 marbles to pay for the "new to you" items you will pick out when its your turn to shop. Meanwhile, its a show or "mini mall" if you will of fabulous people selling their products, from diet chocolates, to spa experiences, cooking classes, wine tasting, special services, photography, and much much more. By the end of the night, I was having a blast, and selling my jewelry too! I did really well, thank you Patti for the invite. (www.clothesxchange.org)





Over this past weekend I visited my father near Cocoa Beach and took a Precious Metal Clay class with Dave Wayment of AA Stained Glass & More in Sebastian, FL. Metal Clay is my new passion for jewelry making, and have been wanting to incorporate into some of my designs. A while back I posted about my first attempts to learn metal clay, and after taking Dave's class - I feel as if I learned even more about it. The pictures below are my class projects that my stepmother and I created. She attended the class with me, and I think what we made turned out pretty well. My favorite is the butterfly pendant which I will be making into a necklace - perfect for spring and just in time to wear on Easter Sunday!
