Boyfriend Scarf


I have a great idea girls! How about a "boyfriend scarf"? You wear it for awhile and your perfume will just naturally be on this beautiful scarf. Then, at the end of the night, just as he is walking away, you toss it around his neck. It's masculine enough that he can wear it too, and he will think of you every time he put's it on because it smells like you! Don't forgot to steal it back once in awhile! $9.00 at my Etsy store. SOLD

Private Showings

We all should be brave enough to hold a private showing of our craft. After all, a private showing is nothing more than an elegant craft fair complete with enticing invitations sent out to carefully selected participants. You should expect that for every one hundred invitations that you send out thirty to forty will attend. Guests should be encouraged to bring as many friends as they wish.

If your "private craft fair" highlights handmade jewelry then it would be appropriate to emphasize the details relevant to the specifics to the art and craft of handmade jewelry.

The best months for this kind of private showing are during the colder months of winter. All purchases should be packaged with great care, possibly with seasonally decorated gift boxes or bags. Use classy beveled-glass mirrors to aid customers in viewing merchandise. You might even ask those attending to wear dark solid colored dressy clothing which makes a beautiful background for hand-crafted jewelry.

Your private showing could be casual or elegant. You could serve cookies or champagne. The choice is completely yours and the ideas are as varied as the crafts themselves. Be creative and brave. Have a private showing.

Superior Facts

Lake Superior is the largest fresh water lake in the world. It's surface has 31,500 square miles of water. Lake Superior holds 10 percent of the earth's fresh surface water! The big lake is 350 miles long and 160 miles wide! That's a BIG lake. Lake Superior contains three quadrillion gallons of water. That's enough to flood Canada, the United States, Mexico AND South America with a foot of water.



The north shore of Lake Superior can bring inspiration for artists and writers alike with it's rugged beauty. A few of the places that are frequently photographed, written about and visited are the Aerial Lift Bridge in Duluth which celebrated it's 100th birthday in 2005. Duluth sits at the base of an 800 foot tall ridge that overlooks a major freshwater freeway port of sorts. Salties (oceangoing vessels) and Lakers, ships built for the Great Lakes) pass under the Lift Bridge. A little farther north on the shore is Split Rock Lighthouse and then Palisade Head, which raises 200 feet above Lake Superior and is a single ancient lava flow of reddish rhyolite. Peregrine Falcons nest there annually. Farther north of course is Grand Marais and the ultimate in inspiration, Artists Point. So there you have it, just a few of the things that make Lake Superior, well, superior!
