Busy Days

 

Hand Made Beads waiting to be incorporated into my own style of Fiber Jewelry   

I look forward to having my booth at the Fiber Festival of New England each November.  After many years of enjoying shopping at the delightful juried Winter Craft Fair for Big Brothers Big Sisters here in Northampton MA, I finally gathered up the courage to apply for a booth.  And I was accepted!  And then... CHD made the appropriate decision that going through with the fair would not be safe.  Eventually the Fiber Festival of New England made the same decision.  

But... there was the opportunity to participate in the online Winter Craft Fair for Big Brothers Big Sisters which will run November 14 through 22.  I initially thought I should sit this out.  I hadn't listed anything in my Etsy shop for years.  None of my creations were photographed.  I needed to set up and stock an online shop in a very short time, linking it with a commerce site to accept credit card payments.  All that I had was the last item; I accept cc payments through Square.  The last few weeks have been spent in finishing up my offerings and taking dozens of photos.  I have a long way to go but plan to have my Online shop open November 14.  More information about the Winter Craft Fair for Big Brothers Big Sisters will be posted here soon. 

Many people can identify one or two personal silver linings in experiencing  this pandemic.  For me, if all goes well, a major positive outcome will be an online shop presence!
