Adventures in Dayton and Other Events




It seems as though summer has passed me by and now fall has started to show itself. Along with fall coming forth, so does all the fall festivals, Christmas markets, and craft shows- HOW EXCITING!!

This weekend is extremely fun, since I will be traveling to Dayton, OH for the Concors d'Elegance to show off my hubcaps. I am one of 8 other artists nationwide that will be showing off our car related artwork at this grand event. Here is the newspaper article on it: http://www.daytondailynews.com/lifestyle/autos-to-meet-art-at-concours-delegance-911064.html

After this wondrously great event, the next few events are local:

Sept. 25th- Handmade Autumn Sale-(10am-6pm) At Fisher Tire and Lost and Found
Records on Broadway.
Oct. 3rd- Ijams Fall Plant Sale (9am-2pm) At Ijams Nature Center

And there are others to come... I am just finalizing the details. Also, after this week, I will be updating my other website at www.sarahbrobst.artfire.com with all of the new jewelry and hubcap pieces. I took a break from that this summer since things were insanely busy, but back to business after the Dayton show.

Thanks to all of you and have a great end to summer as we welcome in the fall!!!

Summer is here and things are hot, hot, hot.

And speaking of stores, I want to thank Tea and Treasures in South Knoxville who will now be hosting my jewelry in their amazingly wonderful store. Located on Martin Mill Pike, this store has everything you could possibly want as gifts for others or treasures for yourself. Stop in a take a look.

I am taking my jewelry on the road starting August 1st and will be making a 2 week trip out to California and back, and hopefully I can sell some stuff along the way...USA- HERE I COME!! I am a girl with a dream and I hope that it will be a successful trip!!!

Once I am back and fall time comes this way, look for my jewelry classes at Joann Fabrics on North Peters Rd... I start in November and it is going to be great fun. Come and take a class with me!

NEW WEBSITE!!!

Finally it is here. I have worked hard this weekend to get my new website up and running so that my jewelry and hubcaps can be purchased online instead of just at shows. Believe me, it is still in the baby stages, but I am working to get it up and running as a full store as soon as I can.

The new website is: www.sarahbrobst.artfire.com

Again, don't judge it too soon, but it will be filling up with stuff... don't worry.

Also, just a quick heads up... I will be at the Women's Today Expo this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with the Downtown Visitor's Center and would love it if you all came out to see us.
It is supposed to be a huge turn out!!!!

As 2010 begins, I want to start out with a big thank you to everyone who helped me get my business going last year. I had a great jumping off point and now, I want this year to be bigger and better than the last.

Look for new jewelry photos as I work to get a new page up and running where my jewelry and hubcaps will be available to purchase online!!
