Jewelry Class at IHR

Hi all,

Sorry about the tardy post. I've been busy preparing to teach a jewelry-making-basics class at April's IHR. Stop by the Croc on April 1 to sit in on the class and even have a chance to make your own Sterling earrings. There will be supplies for all and tons of fun. I'll be bringing brand new beads as well as some classics from my signature jewelry line.

There are a few shows coming up that you should check out, too. Thread Show Seattle is at Fremont Studios on April 22, UNZiPPED Event will be at Seattle Center for TWO days May 5 & 6, and U-District Street Fair May 19-20. As always, I'm set up at Fremont Sunday Market, rain or shine (but I always pray for shine).

ON-LINE SHOPPING UPDATE: Click on over to www.elementjewelry.com to grab up special, limited-edition pieces. Kathy runs a great website and is my exclusive on-line sales guru.

Special tidbit: Amy Tavern has just released her new line of hand-made precious metal jewelry. She's one of my favorite designers - I wear her jewelry more than I wear my own! www.amytavern.com

Thanks folks. Until next time,
Happy crafting

It's snowing!!!

What?!? That's right. It snowed in Seattle all day long. There's about 2 inches piled up on my car, and the street is totally covered. I'd post a picture of it, but I don't have a digital camera (hint, hint). I know this shouldn't be shocking, but snow on the ground in March is pretty depressing. Luckily, I've been keeping my spirits up by creating fantastic new cuffs. Everything is bright and new.

I'm also excited about all the upcoming shows. Unzipped, Thread, U Distric, Solstice, and the monthly IHR. I'll be at IHR, in the back room, this Sunday. And, weather permitting, Rachel will be manning the booth in Fremont. She's such a trooper. Be sure to stop by and wish her warm thoughts. No pressure, but she loves hot chocolate. Stay tuned for show updates and info.

Ohh, and I'm super excited for Persnickity's new line. Rebecca has been very mysterious about it and I've been dying to see it since Dec. Check out her site for more info www.persnickitydesign.com

Happy crafting,
A.

Sunday Market Fun

Hi all, just an update. The Fremont Sunday Market is in full swing. Come see me and all the other great craftspeople on Sundays, 10am - 4pm. Jenna, of Bella Sisters, is back and most of her coats are on sale. Check her out at www.jenna-rose.com. Also, there is a booth that sells chocolate truffles. They're pretty good, and I hear you can get "special" chocolates, too.

The weather should be decent this weekend. Stop by and say "Hi".

Cheers, Anna

This week in jewelry

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I Heart Rummage was fun. It was great to see everyone again. We all signed a big card for Amy, of DarBeka. She's been ill for a while now but is on the road to recovery. We also got to meet Cole, Kristin's new baby. I've never know her not pregnant. He is a precious little baby, and didn't mind all us touchy-feely people.

Next Sunday I'll be at my usual spot in Fremont. Make sure to stop by for all your Valentine's gifts. And don't forget to get your Frequent Buyer card punched. Don't have one, just ask!

Cheers, Anna

Hey there everybody...just checking in to see if this whole thing is working. Yep, it is.

Come see me and all my crafty buddies at I Heart Rummage next weekend (Feb 4) at the Crocodile Cafe in Belltown. It's the first IHR this year and should be fantastic!

Here's the new BLOG!!!

Here's the newest addition to my super low-tech website. I'm a blog! It will probably be updated way more often that the website, so check back every week or so to find out what's happening with Anna Perrone Designs.

Thanks to all. 2006 was a GREAT year, and I hope to make 2007 even better. I took a month off from Fremont Sunday Market because of the frigid Arctic weather Seattle has seen and have been working on new designs, new prices, new displays, new shows, and a new website.

I'll be at I Heart Rummage this Sunday, Feb 4. Stop by the Croc to see me and all my crafty friends. I'll be set up in the back, so be sure to wander back there.

Cheers, Anna
