Holy cold, Batman!

It's been in the 20's here in Portland with no snow. Le Brrrrr.
In other news, I am done with all of my Kenton Beadwork trunk shows for the year! Woot!

This last Saturday was the perfect finish; champagne, more champagne and good vibes. Kristenlee of Studio Thirty put on a great show in her NE Portland Salon. I met the nicest people and most notably, Nicole Linde, Who just happens to be one of my favorite Portland Artists. Did I mention the Champagne? It was great.
Midway through the show we received word that Anthony Keidis was across the street. We all were kind of secretly hoping he and his date would stop by and peruse, but no dice.

Afterwards we ended up at Fat's. If you haven't been there or heard of it, I'm right there with ya. I thought it was brand new, however it's a hidden gem. Maybe an oasis...of english goodies. You must check it out.
Everything from the food, service and booze was top notch.

And I have to share, I scored this AMAZING original piece from Nicole Linde:

It's a Christmas gift...but I'm really excited about it.
Here's to a fantastic week-Cheers!

Milestone! You'll want to read this, mmmk?

Exciting news folks! Kenton Beadworks is about to reach a milestone-500 sales! woooot!
So...since at this very moment we are 9 sales away and I'm going to offer one lucky person 50% off of their ENTIRE ORDER. So what that means you, or someone like you, could get their holiday shopping done for half the price! For real!
Said lucky person just needs to purchase an item that registers as the 500th sale in my Etsy shop and type in "Blog500" in the 'notes to seller' box upon checkout.  Simple as that. I like simple. And bargains. Don't you?

The not-so-fine-print: Only one person will get the discount! If you checkout and your item(s) registered as sale #501, no dice!
Also, on Saturday my shop will be offline from 3-7:30pm (PST) for the Trunk Show at Studio Thirty.

Happy Friday!

Last Trunk Show

Hello pretties!
Today, on Twitter I heard this phrase for the first time and shot coffee through my sinuses: "it's colder than a well digger's ass" Not kidding. It's flipping cold outside. Time to start praying for snow. I love snow, so long as there is enough to merit sleeping in.

This week I have been crafting up a storm preparing for my last show, this Saturday at Studio Thirty. If you haven't heard yet, Studio Thirty is the shizzle. Kristenlee is a beauty manipulating GURU. I am honored to have been invited to peddle my wares in the presense of such talent. It's like entering the room of greatness, going into her salon in NE Portland. I highly recommend getting any service you can from her or her talented staff. they're AMAZING! Plus, the products that Studio Thirty carries are top notch, from Kevin Murphy to Alterna, she'll be happy to point you in the right direction. If you are like me, you may be too shy to just bounce into a new salon and start asking questions about which product is right for you. So this Saturday the salon will be putting on a hairstyling event/demo/tips/raffle and trunk show. Come with questions and an open mind and you just may answer all of your burning beauty questions and/or have an idea for a fabulous new 'do like this one:

                                                   This makes me want to go short again!

Here is the scoop: Saturday from 3-7 there will be 6+ top notch local Artisans with their respective designs on display. I'm really looking forward to seeing Nicole Linde's pieces. Here's a sneek peek: http://hungryeyeball.com/artist-gallery/nicole-linde/

I look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Stacy

The Holidays are here-watch out!

I hope you all had nice relaxing Thanksgiving!
Who woke up and went shopping the next morning, in the darkness to score the best deals EVER? Not this gal. I kept my lazy behind in bed and slept in. Then I went to the bead show, which was nice and dead since everyone else was perusing the malls. I scored some new beads that I am very excited to craft into new pretties for you. I have listed tons of new pieces to my Etsy Shop in time for Cyber Monday. Here's a couple snapshots of what is new in my Etsy shop:
