Durham love and 15 min of fame

I've always had a love for Durham, though admittedly I don't get there as often as I'd like to take advantage of the yummie eats and eclectic shopping opportunities. Well, now is my chance! Durham's new visitors guide is out with the cities best places to check out and events to attend. It also features a picture of yours truly selling Haden Designs jewelry at last years Rock&Shop Market held at Motorco and Fullsteam Brewery!

success!

I participated in The Rock and Shop Vintage Market last weekend. It was lots of fun and a huge success! The jewelry looked great on the new displays and with the business cards and packaging it really came together.

Since I was busy behind the booth, I didn't get time to go check out the other vendors or take pictures of my own booth--as a vendor, huge mistake not taking pictures! Luckily, other vendors have posted pictures of the show and even posted pictures of my booth. I follow the blog Mint, and was quite surprised to see my booth in the blog posting! Thanks Hello Tenfold and Bigwig&Silver for taking such great photos. They both have an amazing collection of photography, custom stationary, note cards and post cards.

Thanks for the pictures!

tres excited

I love participating in The Rock & Shop Markets and I Just found out I was accepted into The Rock & Shop Vintage Market! This one is going to be super exciting, new location, all vintage and up-cycled items and live bands Lonnie Walker and Mount Weather.

"It is a one-of-a-kind shopping experience; vintage furniture, fashion, art & music flea market featuring independent local and national designers plus live music by local performers--all at the Triangle's hottest new all-inclusive venue, The Cotton Room at Golden Belt.

Because its the Vintage Market, all of the jewelry that I will be bringing to the show has elements of upcycled chain, vintage beads and parts of other jewelry that I have deconstructed--half the fun of making this jewelry was finding the chain and vintage beads. Cant wait to see what you think. So, make sure you mark your calendars for Oct. 17th to come check out the new Rock & Shop Vintage Market!
