The best event of the summer!

I'm looking forward to next weekend with great anticipation! 

The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival is my favourite event of the year.  This year is the festival's 40th anniversary, and they are celebrating it in style with a focus on the phenomenal local musicians we have in this province.  There is also a commemorative limited edition lino-cut print by Caroline Clarke

I've been working on some new jewellery for my booth in the craft tent.  

I wanted to make something a little more whimsical and fun, and so I've created this series of "pick-your-own-pair" floral earrings.  I hope people like them - the flower-shaped buttons are so sweet!  I just have to figure out how best to display them - I'm thinking it should somehow involve a flower pot...

I also put a good deal of thought and time into this fancier necklace - it is made from sterling silver, bronze, and heat-coloured copper.  And it is adjustable!

I hope to see lots of folks in Bannerman Park, August 5, 6, & 7th!  It'll be a time!  Keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
