trunk show at ESCAZU

If you are looking for something to do tomorrow evening, I have the perfect thing! Escazu located at 936 N. Blount st. will be hosting a trunk show from 5-9pm where I will be selling my jewelry among three other talented local designers. So, I highly recommend coming to check out the show, grab some fancy delicious chocolates, (I went today and picked up a few, one of which was a chocolate, rosemary, bacon, sea salt combo...mmmmmmmm), then head next door to Market. I tried their crack fries and they are addictive! Sounds like a pretty good evening to me! Hope to see you tomorrow night!

celebrate!

I just found out that I am a featured vendor at Heather Garrett HOME! And what a great time to be featured! They are having a sale in celebration of their feature in ELLE DECOR press, new inventory, and their newly renovated, additional floorspace! Plus they will have drinks and catering by Toast (a favorite of mine) on Saturday, and lots of floor samples on sale.

*Plus, enter a raffle to win accessories, design services, and gift certificates!*

The sale will run Saturday, August 21 from 11-5 and Sunday, August 22 from 12-4.

So make sure to check out her beautiful store and take a look at some Haden Designs jewelry!

what an event

Yesterday I participated in Raleigh Wide Open 5! Its an amazing event that really brings in quite the crowd. Despite a few sprinkles here and there, it was a success. Since it was outside under a tent I thought Id try a new set up. We hung a large piece of wood with tacks so I could hang product--it ended up working well to showcase the long asymmetrical necklaces. I also decided to introduce my newly acquired mannequin--got her for a steal when a local store went out of business. She did a great job displaying (and selling!) the larger necklaces.
