Tis the Season of Summer... Almost!!!

Tis the season for cookouts, farmer's markets, and music festivals. Swimming pools, canoe trips, and tanks tops become a norm. And the busy season of crafting never ends. Some of my upcoming events include:

• Come out to the Market Square Farmer's Market every Saturday to enjoy local organic foods, delicious bakery goods, and of course handmade crafts.


• Eco- Make and Take it workshops presented by yours truly and my partner in crime, Kimberly Womack are every first Sunday of the month (next one to be on June 5, starting at 1pm at the Pilot Light in the Old City). Bring your old stuff and transform it into brand new treasures. It's easy.... I swear!


• IjamsFest is now Meadowlark Music Festival on June 18th starting at 1pm at Ijams Nature Center...come jam out to Donna the Buffalo, Band of Humans, the Hackensaw Boys and more... and of course I will be there with bells on... or jewelry! =)

And not to mention, summer is the season for weddings. If you need your custom made jewelry for your bridal party, order now. Charm bracelets, gemstone necklaces, swarovski crystal earrings- it is whatever your heart desires.

Or if you are looking for a fun get together with friends- book an at home jewelry making party. All supplies are included in the package. Learn how to make your own bracelets, earrings, necklaces... learn wire-wrapping, color scheming, basic techniques. Nothing but fun!!!

To book or order your custom jewelry- send me an email at lilysjb@hotmail.com or call (865) 684-7466.

Here's to a great warm weather season!! Hope to see you out and about on the town!

Eco Workshops become a Norm in Knoxville

Thanks to Jason at Pilot Light and to all that have been participating in our Eco Make & Take it workshops over the last month. Because you make it possible, we are proud to announce that we will be making them a normal thing everyone month. Come out the first Sunday of each month to the Pilot Light in the Old City to enjoy crafting, listening to mystery records, and eating tasty treats. The creative possibilities that arise at these workshops are amazing! Everything from jewelry to handbags to funky sculptures of recycled goodness.

We would love to have you attend one of these workshops. Invite your friends and spread the word.
