After a less than stellar ending to last year, it felt good to have a successful booth at Novice Invitational this year. It's always a pretty good event for me - I think that by March, people have paid off their holiday bills and are looking forward to buying something new for the spring. In addition to what sold over the weekend, I also had a couple of people wanting custom orders or wondering if a specific set was still available.
My booth! Sorry for the bad lighting! I did a smaller set up than normal since my usual partner was not there. Kept it very manageable for me.
My favorite pair of earrings that I made for the weekend - was snatched up on the last day! Swarovski twisted cylinders, with swarovski accent beads, sterling silver chain and earring posts.
This one got a lot of interest and I am So very tempted to keep it for myself - or at least convince myself I need to make another one. Dusty purple crystals and freshwater pearls with silver bead caps on sterling silver chain.
My favorite set of the weekend - I tried something different with the colors. I usually tend to stick to a more monochromatic color scheme but blues and greens are supposed to be on trend for the spring and summer. My favorite kind of necklace to make because I can use pretty much any kind of beads that suit my fancy: pearls, crystals, semi precious stones, acrylic, silver, etc etc. This was snatched up pretty early in the weekend!
I'm hoping to get more pictures taken and loaded later this week. Until then!

About the designer
- Michelle Summer Designs
- Houston, Texas, United States
- I'm a self taught jewelry designer who decided to make this more than just a hobby! I've been making jewelry the last 6 years mostly for friends and people in the west coast swing dance community, where I teach and compete. While I have a day job, it's mostly to pay for my jewelry and dance habits! I primarily work with sterling silver, freshwater pearls, semiprecious stones and swarovski crystals. But I'll use anything that catches my eye and I love to try new techniques!
Glad you did well! The pieces look great!
