Lynn g says:This is a great display.. Love the drift wood tree
who is MIL??? is it mother in law??
On Jul 06, 2010 at 9:06 pm #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Thanks Lynn! Yep, I am meaning my incredibly wonderful mother in law!
Pam. the home shows I have done are only a handful. I do a lot of word of mouth…. and maybe shoot off an email to anyone I know. Usually whomever hosts the show invites their friends, collieges, family, ect. I offer a discount to most people (mil gets free anyhow)

Little Round Chick says:Congrats on the sales. It is a real boost to have people interested in your work and actually buying it.
Sell, sell, sell, so you can buy, buy, buy!

Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:Lorrie, the display is great! Love the driftwood tree, did you make it? I hope you do well. I like the way you have spaced things out, looks like it is easy to look at.
On Jul 07, 2010 at 9:56 am #
Mommykat Bubbly Chick says:Thank you Everyone!
Susan, I bought the tree at Marshalls- it had big metal pieces sticking out of it & was holding voltive holders. I took them out & I fixed it up, I love that tree!
On Jul 07, 2010 at 10:02 am #
Chicky Suz aka Susan Z says:Wow, very creative!! IT is an awesome show piece for your jewelry. It doesn’t take away from your peices, given the natural beauty of driftwood, it enhances the pieces, I think!
