Handmade In Vegas

Handmade In Vegas:

Just wanted to give a quick up date on the First Friday Handmade in Vegas project:

I just closed a deal to move the group off of the city sidewalks--YAY--and into the lot next to Artifice Bar. I will be posting photos later this evening. But basically, Artifice is across the street from the Art's Factory. Our location is out of the way from the crazy parking that takes place down there but is right in the heart of everything. There is room for at least 30-40 vendors with TENTs. The best part is that Artifice will be promoting the Handmade in Vegas Group as their contribution to First Friday. The lot needs a little clean up--just mostly debris that's blown in there. There is substantial lighting from the top wall of the bar but I will talk to them about an additional charge to let us 'plug in' for power purposes.

This will be ongoing for as long as we want to use it and provided we don't abuse our welcome. So I need some volunteers to help do some clean up and if you've been trying to decide if you want to be a vendor--you'll need to do that pretty quickly as I will soon be opening it up to artists outside of the group". Please email at: islandgirlzjewelry@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

Christmas in July and August Sale at Rhinestone Bird






Hi! This is Jamie from Rhinestone Bird. I am currently having a 10% off Christmas in July and August sale in my etsy shop (www.rhinestonebird.etsy.com). It will continue until the last day in August and all you need to do is to enter the code XMASJULY at checkout and the 10% discount will be applied.

I create one of a kind, vintage rhinestone jewelry and accessories including bracelets, necklaces, hair clips, headbands, bobby pins and rings. I like to take something beautiful from the past and breathe new life into it to create something more practical and modern. I specialize in rhinestone jewelry from the art deco era to the 1950's and 60's. Please come and take a look!

Mt. Charleston is getting close!!!!

It's hard to believe that we are only a couple of weeks away from the show!!! The signs are up and I think they are more visible. I went with fewer but bigger signs in bright yellow with black lettering. We will put up more along Route 157 the weekend of the show. The City Life ad will be in the July 28th edition. I sent press releases to all the Views and other publications as well as the TV stations. The Desert Companion and the Las Vegas Weekly both got back to me saying it would be in there. I don't know about the others. I'm going to mail post cards to all the owners of homes up here this weekend. Many of them live in town. I left post cards and flyers at the hotel and there are some in the library up here.
There are still a couple of spaces left on the lagoon and on the lawn area for anyone except jewelers. If you are interested in participating, e-mail me at nevadawoods@hotmail.com.
