Some of us love this holiday, others don’t. But either way, I find it hard to dispute this adorable little icon: the heart. Here is some of the jewelry Juanita and I have created in celebration of sweetest little design, and just in time for the sweetest of holidays!

Farmer’s Market September 30, 2008

Juanita and I have started selling our jewelry at the Oakland Temescal Farmer’s Market on Sundays and it’s been tons of fun. Not only is it incredibly gratifying to see all of our hard work out on the table, but we’ve had a great reception from all the people there. 

It’s been pretty challenging as far as coming up with display ideas and booth arrangements, but I always love some creative problem solving (thanks art school)! The wind has been the biggest problem, but Juanita and I keep coming up with solutions. It’s a lot of fun trying to figure out new solutions, especially because each week has been different (we’ve been there about 4 weeks now). 

If you’re in the East Bay, we’d love it if you stopped by! The market is open from 9-2 every Sunday and full of good food, music and jewelry!
