A Heart for Denise
Denise comes to many of the craft shows that we do. Actually, we don’t “do” many craft shows. When it comes to retail, we pretty much only do the PA Guild shows, and a home show. Denise frequents the PA Guild Shows. She had visited our website (http://haydenbrook.com), and she wanted to buy a heart like the one on our home page. But alas, I didn’t have any. She is so sweet… she found something else she liked. Still, I couldn’t resist offering to make a batch of the candy hearts. I wanted to have a load prepared for the next show anyway. They sell very well!!!
(I have entered the candy heart on the home page of haydenbrook.com into a contest I’m NOT likely to win, The Niche Awards, so I can’t sell that piece anyway. I have never entered the Niche Awards contest because our designs are meant to be affordable to the general public, not super fancy and higher priced because of all the expensive materials and hand-skills we have access to but don’t always use because it would mean that many normal people couldn’t have really fun, well-crafted jewelry at an affordable price, like $20-ish. I LOVE the idea that everyone should be able to leave a craft show with something in their hands. I sell to a lot of children and young adults… THE NEXT GENERATION!!! Wooo-Hooooo~!)
I told Denise to send me an email… that she should feel comfortable reminding me to make the heart; I wouldn’t mind~! So, she did… and I made a kiln-load… 9 hearts. I told Denise that I would photograph them on a pure white back ground in white photo lighting… no fancy photography… purely documentary. I sent her this photo, and she chose heart number 3, across the top row. Was she right???
I will be taking the rest of these hearts with my to the Montgomery County Community College for the PA Guild show this October 16 & 17… a good show! Fine Craft Fair Information. Well, I’ll have the hearts with me, unless I sell them before I get to the show…. that could happen. If you want one of them, give us a call…… #3 is sold.
