Juan's Copper Jewelry

This is Juan's booth at the Santa Semana Festival in San Felipe, Baja California.  He is on the main street that leads down to the Malecon, the ocean front boardwalk, which would be a more ideal location.  Lots of jewelry at this festival, but not like Juan's.  There is not alot of copper jewelry here and his is the only wire wrapped jewelry that I saw at the festival...have a look at Juan's wonderful work.  He also made the framed display.  Juan is from Rosarito and has also sold his jewelry on Olvera Street in Los Angeles.  Photos taken and shared with permission from Juan...thank you Juan!

Table Set Up AT The Pink Parlour Festival

I enjoyed myself at the Pink Parlour Festival. It was a young crowd forum but with goodies and events for the whole family. It was indoors, and I must say I do like indoor shows, no weather worries and no ez-up. An 8ft table and two chairs were provided. This was good to know in advance. I went out and bought some material, alot of material, too much material, and draped it and clipped it to the

table and it worked out fine. Two previous shows that provided tables didn't say anything about size and I just assumed they were 6ft when in fact one was just 4ft. and the other was 8ft. Needless to say, I covered and displayed what I could. I always take my 4ft table that folds in half, it has been indispensable every time and I would highly recommend having one. Signage is a challenge too, but I was prepared this time and safety pins and the sign that attached to my ez-up worked out fine, though may have been hard to notice. I did make a 8 x 10 table top sign. In the future, I would like something I can set on an easel. Guestbook was out and business cards and fresh flowers. I'm always looking to improve, so any suggestions, tips, ideas and critiques are welcomed. You can see more event photos a http://www.flickr.com/photos/innerearthjewelry .
