Ocean Grove Fall Harvest Festival & Craft Show

I'll be there selling my upcycled vintage jewelry, boardwalk and carnival-themed pieces, art and more! Admission is free and while you're here, stop by the Youth Temple for a Postcard & Collectibles Show ($3 for that one). For more info or directions, visit the Ocean Grove Chamber website.

P.S. I heard Mother Nature is totally going to cooperate, so make a day of it!

Harvesting Fun Fashions...

This weekend I went to my hometown's Harvest Festival and an Antiques & Collectibles Show with friends Jackie and Patti. I found lots of great vintage beads for my jewelry stuff... an old Disney circus story magazine from 1944... two agate geode necklaces and an ice cream cone necklace. But my favorite purchase was this nifty crocheted hat. I stopped by The Mod Hatter booth and had seen this really cool hat, but it was in a child's size. I asked the crotchet-er—Lisa Bloch—if she could make me an adult-sized one. She just happened to have the yarn, so she made it for me while we walked around! How's that for instant fashionication? Thanks Lisa!
