Early New Year's Resolutions for Bear Chick

It's not even Thanksgiving and I'm already thinking about next year. Here are some goals and things I want to put in place for my business.



Redesign my craft fair set up, complete with Bear Chick banner



New car magnets--the old ones don't mention Etsy



Apply to juried, handmade only shows. No more competing with Cookie Lee and crap made in China



Maintain a marketing calendar, for social networking and other promotional activities



Join a real, live networking group, preferably a chamber of commerce or a women's group, with ties to the community



Learn more about chain making



Get into metal stamping so I can make my own custom charms



Take command of my toaster oven so I can make polymer clay creations that aren't undercooked (floppy) or overcooked (blackened)





Just 'cause I like a blog with at least one picture, here's a sweet little vintage gold tone and garnet pin, currently for sale on Etsy.

Upcoming Show

Hi All


Here's the info for a show I'm doing in June. I'll be bringing jewelry, plus as many Artist Trading Cards and little artworks as I can fit in the car! I'll be sharing two spaces with my friend, Anneliese, who also makes beautiful jewelry and lovely knitted scarves (which are a hard sell in 90 degree weather, but think Christmas!).
My husband, Dean, will also be there, with his new group.

June 1 Celebration of the Arts
Hurless Burton Park
4601 Casa Loma
Yorba Linda, CA
11AM to 4PM


It's a good show with lots of artists and entertainment. The venue is a very nice, grassy area but don't forget the folks who are inside the community center, too.


Here's Dean (the little guy on the right) and his partner in crime, Rob. They'll be performing country music and telling goofy jokes as Squeaky Wheel, their new music and comedy group. With a picture like this, you weren't expecting Shakespeare, right?!
