Yesterday was the first time I participated in a Holiday Bazaar. This is what I learned...
1. Vendors buy from vendors
2. Bazaar vendors have the most amazing unique gifts
3. Patience
My first bazaar experience was nice, I had plenty of family there (as vendors) and the weather was cooperative.
I
did learn that you have to be patient. My big sale didn't come until the tail end of the day.
The great news is, for
everyone who couldn't make it...I have a lot of really cute things left to sell.
My reusable shopping bags...or book bags (whatever you want to use them for) got a lot of attention.
I have a few left...and these are some pictures. See if you can figure this one out...
I also did this new design--- I must say I do love this one. I think it's really pretty--- and like my original bag, don't forget I paint the bottom of them, so that it doesn't really matter where you put them down.
I also painted a few new designs for shirts, which eventually could be paintings as well.
I took the "Love Bug" which I painted for my friend Jessica (a fellow blogger) and added a friend and absolutely love the out come of this
design.
I also took another painting I did for a nursery in
New Orleans and made this cute adventure on the high seas.
Another one of my new designs was this Dino...the Brontosaurus...and yes, I know that they found that the Brontosaurus did not exist, and that it was an
Apatasaurus all along...but I
still love
Bronti.
There are plenty of other new designs, sunflowers, mermaids, a sun that turns into a glow-in-the-dark moon at night, and some strands of pearls to name a few.
You know how to get in touch with me if you are interested.
Post Christmas greetings! On the 5th day of Christmas, I finally uploaded pictures from Christmas Day and am getting to my blog.
hope everyone has been enjoying the Holidays!
Each year I wrap my gifts in a particular color theme. One year, brown paper packages tied up with string...another year, white paper with colored electric tape.

Thanks to my lovely day job at the museum, I got to make it out to tho of the bigger shows and be a guest at a fun party. My week started on Tuesday December 1st with the opening of the Back-in-Style and Friends Gallery in Midtown.
Then Wednesday night was the much anticipated opening night, Vernissage of Art Basel at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The halls were full of fantastic art, and outlandish fashion--- oh, and lots of friends too. 
After Vernissage we went to the Art Basel Loves Music event right on the beach on 21st Street.
The funny thing about the Basel Loves Art event, is that there were tickets---which honestly you did not need at all. You could literally walk right in. And who wouldn't want to walk in? It was set up really cool. 
Thursday night we went to the Miami Art Museum's Annual, Party on the Plaza... or MAM POP for short. It was a fun event with a lot of great food, people and art naturally. Shepard Fairy of Obama Hope fame was on hand to unveil his new piece which you can see right on the Plaza.
Friday, I left Mr. at home and went to an Art Basel conversation with museum friends and then we headed out to Art Miami in its 20th Year. It was fantastic! The space right in Midtown was easy to navigate, the art was brilliant and with VIP passes, the Nespresso Lounge was delish!
