Choices…

While walking on the beach today I was wondering what I would write about today.  Let’s start with it’s St. Patrick’s day…so Happy St. Patrick’s day to one and all.  Then I thought that I could write about the Renaissance festival that I will be at as a vendor this weekend.  Then I really took a look at my life and realized how much it has changed and that I could really write about anything.  Three years ago, I didn’t know what a blog was and now I write one.  I create very cool, natural stone jewelry,  photograph that jewelry, manage my site and which  includes doing all of the writings and description and uploading all of the work so that you can all view it.    My how things can changed.   I am reminded everyday that we have choices to have our own life.  Speaking of choices…it is show season for artist in Florida…and there are shows every weekend.  The question, which one(s) to do?  Last weekend I was at the Apollo Beach Manatee Arts festival.  While the weather was very cool in the morning, the days were awesome!!  It was a great show for so many reasons…some of the artist I had the pleasure to meet, the staff that worked tirelessly to put on the event, and the patrons themselves, and oh let’s not to mention the business!!  This weekend I have chosen to be a vendor at the Bay Area Renaissance festival.  So I will dress as a wench or something festive for their wine, romance and chocolate weekend and get to be a part of olden days…How wonderful this will be…choices!!  I will be showcasing my vintage collars this weekend like the one in the picture.  Choices…I am really glad that I have them and that I can enjoy them as well as this new life!!   I hope that you have choices and that you are taking advantage of them. Many hugs with much love to you all   ~Randi

The Folk Festival

The past weekend was a great weekend to be outside.  There was no better place to be than the Folk Festival in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.  Friday night was festive with friends watching and listening to the Indigo Girls…let me say they were awesome!!  I had great booth space for the next two days…while not inside the lined off area, I was sitting in between the big red bougainvillea and the really cool purple flowers…and in the shade!!  Not only was I surrounded by color but also a breeze!  It couldn’t have been any better than if I had ordered it special…lol!!

The people that I met were really neat and some made special places in my heart over those two days.  We always need to meet new people and have them to touch our heart…if not how do we grow!   I was gifted to be asked to make a special piece for the mom of a friend…it was a gift and instead of the usual they wanted to do something different…I was honored to be asked…and among all of that lovely color when she saw it…she was moved.  That’s part of what I do…make people happy…make functional jewelry that will bring happiness and joy.  Many hugs with much love to all
