Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor Wine Glasses

I just posted my newest item! Bridesmaid and Maid of Honor Wine Glasses.
My hairdresser's daughter is getting married next weekend and asked me to come up with a set of wineglasses for her Bridal Brunch. She wanted to give them as a gift and something she could use during the brunch. This is what I came up with. There are actually 4 Bridesmaids, 1 Maid of Honor and a bride. I did the Bride in pink and white. I am thinking about doing sippy cups for the flower girls with flowers instead of dots. What do you think??

Craft Party 2011

This past weekend Etsy held a global craft party. The idea was that local "etsians" would meet up for a night of crafts and networking all across the globe. The North Alabama craters decided to hold theirs in Huntsville, AL, convenient for me because that's where I work so of course I decided to go. The event was to be held in a studio in the Lowe Mill art district. Lowe Mill is a fun little warehouse housing several studios of local artists. On Friday nights they hold "Concerts on the Dock" with different types of music. This particular Friday night it was a metal concert. I should mention at this point that while Lowe Mill is a fun little artsy establishment, it isn't in the greatest part of town. Remember this 2010 youtube sensation? Well... Lincon Park is about a block and a half away. So anyway, I get off work, change and head to the craft party. I couldn't talk my fiance into joining me because in his head it's a bunch of women sitting around quilting haha. Once I get there, the parking lot is full and there are people everywhere. I walk through the gate and look around. I am definitely out of place in my pink tank top and flip flops. After wandering around (and being stared down) I realize that I am actually supposed to be in one of the studios....not at the metal concert, so I try to find the studio. I enter a big door and climb the stairs. The studio is on the second floor but the stairs completely miss the second floor and go to the third. FAIL. I go back outside (by this time I have three really sketchy teenage guys following me) I find another door that looks like it leads to studios so I tell myself that I am going to give it one more try. I walk up, guys still following me, and pull the door handle, only to find it is locked. FAIL #2. At this point, it has become completely obvious to everyone that the girl in the pink doesn't know where she is, so I quickly made my way back to my car and left. I am sure the people that were actually able to attend had a great time and I'm sad I missed it, but Craft Party 2011 was a big ole' FAIL for me. Better luck next year!
