FALL BRINGS FUN FESTIVALS AND NEW CREATIONS

FALL LEAVES ARE BEGINNING TO DROP IN TEXAS......AND THE FALL FESTIVALS ARE EVERYWHERE...........

Participation either as a vendor (designer) or as an attender (buyer) is lots of fun. I am participating as a vendor in 3 area Festivals as of today. I may jump in and do more, but as a "newby" to festivals, I am not quite sure what to do. I got my credit card merchant stuff and can not accept credit cards at the shows or at my home sales. I am working on my displays and how to set up an "inside" booth. Whew....there is a lot of work involved and if you (my blog public) have suggestions........let me know.

 

Upcoming shows that I will be attending: Oct. 14-17 2009, Sr. Citizens Arts Fair, Fort Worth Will Rogers Colleseum.........I will be showing in the Treasure Chest area.

November 13-14 Central High School Fall Festival, Central High School, Keller, Texas

(This is a big show with over 300 vendors)

November 23, 2009 Southwest Airlines Art and Craft Bazaar, Love Field Southwest Airlines Headquarters, Dallas NOTE: Hrs. 8 AM to 2PM and this is huge! Please come by and see me.

And....a few more items from wantzit2 will also be in my booth....

Also, I am game for doing home shows in all areas of North Texas..........so if you are looking for a fun party, just give me a call....and you can make a little money too.

Here are the Fall items that are the look of my DiAnne Arnette Designs, otherwise known on Etsy as Wantzit.etsy and Wantzit2.etsy.

CREATIVE WEEKEND LEADS TO FUN AND JUST MORE FUN

Being a perpetual creator....I am so glad that I have grandchildren who also love to create! Just this weekend, I had one of my Granddaughters here and we had a blast.........you must go to wantzit2.etsy.com to see the photo of what we did...Here is part of it.

This is a fascinator headband.........we (I) made a red one and sold it right away! Then my sweet girl said she would like one in blue...well, say no more....we had to do it!

The great thing is that this is really a sophistocated headband and looks just great on me, my daughter-in-law, or my granddaughters...............and of couse on you!

The part I love best is that I have a budding artist..........who may just follow my example and find lots of great enjoyment in creating and sharing.

.............now back to real estate on Monday!

Jewelry Design...Pleasurable Small Time Snippets

About me: I live in Fort Worth, Texas and it is a great place! We have world class museums, a world class rodeo and stockshow, and music performances with well known artist every night!....Besides that, For Worth, has me!

Did I always design jewelry? No....but I have always been an artist! I had a minor in Art in college, but being of practical mind....I got a major and a Master's Degree in different subject...so for the most part of my adult life, I have been the frustrated artist....A good painter...winning awards, leaving painting supplies out all the time are smelly, and messy, so I vowed and still do vow to do that another time, again, when I have the proper space.

Artist are always creative...and they usually can do a variety of things....not all of them are artsy! What is artsy, is the way the artist's mind works! Never at a loss for ideas and always able to think outside the box! Now that is a very good thing in any field....

So, in the daytime, I have been a Fort Worth REALTOR for many years. Most recently, in the night time, I am a jewelry designer. Those small snippets of time are so great! They clear my mind of the day's details or stresses, and I can see the progress and reap the reward each time I finish a design. My jewelry store is at http://www.wantzit.etsy.com/ and I love working with it and seeing how many people have looked at my designs each day. Most recently, I have had requests for small wholesale orders and that is just great!

In case you are wondering what I do....take a look! First I love working with vintage looks and repurposing objects into current, yet memory pieces.

I also like to work with light and clear colors to create neutral, but eye catching pieces...take a look at these:

Please remember that if you like what you see here....there is much more at www.wantzit.etsy.com or you can email me at wantzit@hotmail.com. Now back to my design snippets!
