Summer in the Country
July 2, 2015
I recently got a message from a customer letting me know that she had purchased a Georgia necklace for guy in a band that she likes. She said they just came out with a new song and he was wearing it in the video. I’m sure she was pretty excited and so was I! I watched the video and it was really cool to see it pop up here and there. Oh So ANTSY had made it’s first music video appearance. Pretty cool. I liked the song but had never heard of the band before. I wrote back to my customer and she filled me on on the band. Actually before I fill you in (just in case you haven’t heard of them) watch the video first.
You may now know that the name of the band is Home Free and they are an a capella group. So basically every single note and percussion sound you hear is all made with their mouths! Right?! Maybe you want to watch it again now. Super impressed. She also told me they won Season 4 of The Sing Off on NBC and the lovely gentleman wearing my Georgia necklace is Austin Brown. I hear through the grapevine that he’s been wearing the necklace all the time! It sure makes me happy and I can bet the gift giver too. It’s nice to see a well appreciated gift.

^I was customizing necklaces on the spot by adding the hand cut heart. It was a little stressful to do it with people watching but well worth it to see how excited they were.
In November I was a vendor at Renegade Austin. It was super exciting for many reasons but the top 2 were:
1. It was my very first craft show.
2. It was in Austin-a place I had called home and where my business actually had begun.
I spent about 6 weeks making a display (which was both stressful and fun) and making as many Texas Necklaces as I could. When the weekend arrived I was so nervous because I had no idea what to expect. But as with most things my nerves quickly went away and I just enjoyed talking with all of the super nice people who came to the show that day. Seriously everyone was so nice! Probably one of the reasons I love Texas so much.
It was a super great learning experience for me and one I would absolutely do again. And guess what? Renegade is coming to Seattle! The dates are on my calendar and I will be applying just as soon as the applications open. I can’t wait!
