Big Studio News!!!

The WEBSITE opens tomorrow...finished or no, I have so much more I want to add, but with my show schedule this Fall, I have what I have. So...if you don't feel like going out to shop on Black Friday...stay in your jammies, sip a cuppa, and take a peek inside the studio!

Studio Open House next weekend...

• Thursday November 29, 5-9pm
• Friday November 30, 10-3 and 5-9pm
• Saturday December 1, 10-6
• need studio address? e-mail me at browndogstudio@windstream.net

If you've shopped in the studio, you know that this is the cut-off date for orders to be finished in time for Christmas. I will accept orders in the studio or on-line through December 1st, and then they are ready for pick-up at the Stop and Shop, December 14-15 OR mailed out on December 15. In order to finish the oodles of orders I get at this time, I cannot accept any rush orders, and if you want something that I normally have but am out of in the studio, YOU MUST ORDER IT or it won't get done.
I then close the studio from December 15-January 7th when the kiddos are back in school, so no orders will be filled during that time. Gotta get our tree up and bake the sugar cookies AND get MY shopping done! Last year I worked on some knitting, made 3 big batches of soap and canned some jam...my family loved me very much :)

Where is Brown Dog?

 Where IS Brown Dog, or WHERE HAS SARAH BEEN?!

Obviously, I've been neglecting the blog, between 2 and 3 shows a week, and trying to get the new website up and running. (woohoo! I should be able to announce THOSE details before Thanksgiving!)

So...I've been okay with the Facebook page and seeing lots of friendly faces at shows and getting really dirty fingernails in the studio, making all sorts of pretties.

 Come find me THIS WEEKEND, at Centurylink Center Omaha (formerly the Quest Center), for the Autumn Festival.

It runs...

Thursday Nov 1 (11-9)

Friday Nov 2 (11-9)

Saturday Nov 3 (9-7)

Sunday Nov 4 (10-5)

Look for a coupon online or in the newspaper for $1off.

I am located in Hall C, Row J, 15 1/2-16.

I think it's HUGE :)

So I hope to be back in the studio next week, busily working on special orders and fun, new pretties for St. Marks, Junk Jubilee and Millard South, before getting ready for the studio Open House. Whew!

Can't wait to see you...and maybe finish my website...it's so cool!

and...pop over to the studio Facebook page to "like" the studio or comment on the photo of the bitty spider...one random winner will be announced on Thursday to win this little spider charm : )

You can shop this Saturday...Nelly's Nest!

I have been busy in the studio. Getting lots of orders out, working on silver, bronze, leather cuffs, and of course MORE GLASS CHARMS!

I will be at Nelly's Nest for the Harvest Gathering this Saturday, September 8 from 10-4. I get lots of my displays (and more for the house!) at Janelle's store. You will find it at 33rd and B Streets. Here's a peek at some of what I'll be bringing...

 

 leather cuffs, bronze, beaded wraps galore!!!

 wrap rings (and my other ring selection)

 I found some GREAT game pieces!!!

 a new fairy was requested

a unique bronze and sterling bracelet

 

This will be my last set-up before the fall Studio Open House, scheduled for Thursday September 27-Saturday September 29. I need lots of time to get ready for the fall shows (at LEAST one every week through October and November!!!)

 

Can't wait to see you at Nelly's Nest...and I'm going to shop, wearing my boots!

Saturday August 25...

I am supposed to be at the Piedmont Market tomorrow from 8-noon, probably my last showing of the season so that I can get ready for my fall shows (see the side-bar for what's scheduled)

It's looking like RAIN (glorious rain!) is a very real possibility, I take 65% chance to be pretty real...

So...if rain does indeed look probable, I will make the call in the morning about whether to attend the market OR have the 4 hours at the studio. I'm not making that decision right now, because I'd love to be with the market folks, if possible!

If you plan to head out in the morning, just check my FB page (you don't have to be a Facebooker, yourself to peek at the studio FB page). I will post location choice at that time.

If you're not familiar with the studio location, just e-mail me at browndogstudio@windstream.net and I will happily give the address and directions :)

Lots of gorgeous new jewelry in the studio...leather, silver, bronze, glass

 

Just got back from Yankton Riverboat Days where leather and charms were quite popular!

 

I also sold almost all of my twisties and had to make lots of new ones this week!

 

I plan to post lots of photos over the next two weeks, to show what's fun, fun, fun in the studio!
