It's coming upon that time of year again. For me "The Holidays" stir up all kinds of feelings, and not enough of them are positive. There is hope on the horizon this season however: I'm looking forward to my honey and I celebrating ten years of togetherness, I'm celebrating my five year anniversary at BeadStyle, and I'm getting ready to take part in Round #10 of Art vs. Craft. I've written in the past about this event which is organized by many people and founder Faythe Levine. This weekend I'll be whipping up jewelry in preparation for the big gig which will be held on Saturday, November 28th in Milwaukee. Aside from selling jewelry, I enjoy meeting people who attend the show and visiting with other vendors. Probably the best part of being involved in Art vs. Craft is bartering with the other vendors.

I intend to meet up with:

Becky Tesch of my mish mosh for jewelry made with recycled parts

Chris Ward of Christina Ward Creatures to look at a plush stuffed animals

Heather at girl with a hook to see about a warm winter hat

The gals from from Sparrow Collective to get mittens for Emma
