That was the title of the email I sent to Petflow.com yesterday morning at 7:45am when I realized that my inbox was inundated and it wasn’t showing signs of stopping.
Before I go on I should probably warn you, this is not one of my rants. This is a story about customer service. Good customer service.
I’ll be showing in 4 shows at Assembly Row this summer. My first show is coming up this weekend. Geoff and I will be there in my red show tent. Come and see us. I have some new merchandise and some “new” vintage wares.

I’ve done 4 shows in the last two weeks. It’s been tiring but fun. I met some really fun and really talented crafters, especially at Cambridge Open Studios. (COS is, by the way, also showing this weekend. Yes, you should go if you can. It’s amazing.)
What was striking was not only how great the community of crafters were to each other, but also how great most of the people visiting the show were to us. However, like any barrel of apples, there were a few rotten ones.
Everything listed below was actually said to me or one of the people I met over the last two weekends. When you’re at a craft show, don’t be this person.

Come see Singing Stones Jewelry this weekend at Cambridge Open Studios.
I’m participating this weekend and will be at location #35. There will be a shuttle running both days to allow people to get to all of the locations on the map.
To download the brochure for the entire weekend click here.
I’ll have plenty of great Mother’s Day and Graduation gifts and I’ll be designing and working on site. I hope to see you there. We’ll be open each day from 12-6.

While both Geoff and I have spent a ton of time at work lately (this is my first day off in 11 days I think) I’m in the middle of a fascinating book and I’ve been emailed some really fascinating blog links. Now it’s my turn to share them with you.
Easter is almost upon us and that means a couple of things: spring is coming (no, really, it is, promise!), Geoff and I will be *really* busy this weekend, people will be doing stupid and ill advised things like getting their kids bunnies, chicks, and ducklings for their baskets on Sunday morning, and the annual seal skin kill is going on in Canada.
Hi folks! It’s that time again. I have a show locally on St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Come see me on Saturday when I’m selling my jewelry and come see me on Sunday when I sing. More details below the cut. C’mon, click, you know you want to.

Looking for the right gift for the young woman in your life that isn’t pink and frilly? That’s doesn’t teach her that all princesses need to be rescued by the prince? Want her to learn more about science and bugs and that making mud pies and getting dirty is OK?
I thought so.

Well folks, I finally did it. I’ve finally taken my jewelry obsession business online. SingingStonesJewelry.com had a soft launch in time for my first show, but I finally got the companion Etsy site online yesterday in time for today, “Cyber Monday”.
This is so exciting! I’m going to be vending at my first show on November 17th! My great friend Niki forwarded me an email from ExCL. ExCL is a wonderful resource for educators in the greater Boston area. I’ve known about them for years due to my association with educators from the museum, but this is the first time I’ve been able to work with them.
