Our week at Designs in the Light

This past weekend was fantastic at the Lafayette Art and Wine Festival.  We met many return ladies as they found us with our new name and designs. It was so nice to hear how many loved their purchases from the past year.



Some of the stories we wanted to share.

The Traveling Boho Wrap Bracelets were the star of this show! We love demonstrating this fun bracelet and watching the ladies try to narrow it down to their favorite color. One new excited customer brought her friend to our booth after she had purchased her Traveling Boho earlier. Her friend had a hard time deciding which color. I suggested it's OK, you can own 6 and coordinate with your entire wardrobe! To that she replied, "SO the thing is you just have to decide is which one will be your first!!"
We got a kick out of that.

The beaded necklace/bracelet wraps were also popular. I love hearing the comments on our choices of color, texture and unique beads. That is my favorite part of my job. We are always inspired by the colors and light in nature and it is never ending opportunities as the designs are created. Our fall collection colors were well accepted.

Mike's gorgeous earrings are always a hit. He has a way of coordinating beautiful beads and textures. He custom makes all his argentium silver ear wires and they are the most comfortable earrings I have ever worn. Nearly everyone who purchased theirs wanted to wear them that day.

Fast forward to today.... we had the pleasure of working with our little winery account in Lodi. Harney Lane is a family owned winery and they are in the middle of harvest. You can find some of our new fall collection designs and more to come in the next several weeks just in time for holiday gift shopping. Make sure and taste the wine, they feature several award winners. Wonderful.

After a nice outdoor lunch with our good friend at The Dancing Fox we enjoyed the drive west with the white fluffy clouds in the distance, the rolling amber hills, a huge goat farm and a really big white windmill farm with every mill moving in the breeze today. We love the light and scenery and it is fun just to see this every so often.

We delivered new earring and bracelet designs to a cute little boutique in downtown Suisun City. Sparkly Ragz offers gift items and you can find vintage and slightly used clothing at great prices.

We are super busy designing special orders, for our accounts and the next show in less than two weeks. Be sure to mark your calendar's for October 4th and 5th at Pleasant Hill Art and Wine Festival. This will be our 3rd year and we are excited to meet up with our ladies from this past weekend.

I am slowly listing items on Etsy and our website so check back often. This is a challenge with so much production to do. If you see pictures that I post please inquire.

Love to hear your comments and remember to "Follow the Light" Mike and Cherrie
