Are you in San Francisco? Come visit me and Alana of Etta and Billie as we put on our first joint trunk show hosted by the Spa and Sports Club LA at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco! The club is located at 747 Market Street, and we’ll be there from 10-2. Come by, see my new designs, try Alana’s amazing, all- natural bath and body products, and check out the spa! Hope to see you there!
Be there or be square!
Finally some good show photos! Many thanks to Robby for being such a good photographer.
Check out the beautiful new tent!
It was a gorgeous day!
What? A Sale? I guess you should have come to the show...
A good day was had by all (excep for the part when I cut my knee on a broken wine glass and bled profusely everywhere...)
Manhattan, here I come!
I am so excited to announce that I will be showing at the One of a Kind Show and Sale in New York this November!
This is really big news for Kendra Renee Jewelry- the show will be my first major industry show. I love the way the One of a Kind Show is designed- each artist gets a 10 x 10 space with three hard walls which can be painted or built on. Basically, I get the chance to set up a mini Kendra Renee Jewelry Store for the four days of the show (that’s November 11-14th). I am already scheming about display techniques that are easy to ship across the country. The One of a Kind Show represents the top tier of handmade goods. They make sure that “each item for sale at the show is made by hand, one piece at a time, and every artist represented is in attendance.” I will be one of 150 artists showing that weekend, and I could not be more thrilled.

I’d love to hear from you artists out there- what trade show tips and tricks do you have? And from everyone familiar with the city- what else should I do while I’m there?
After almost three weeks on the road, I am back in San Francisco! It was a great trip for Kendra Renee Jewelry- I had a successful show in Plymouth, scoped out several new retail locations, visited the amazing Fire Opal Gallery which carries my line, and caught up with some of my favorite customers. All that is on top of hanging out with my best friend Tracey and celebrating my Grandmother’s 75th birthday! Even though it was an amazing and productive few weeks, I couldn’t be happier to be back at home. I have fresh ideas for my business and for new designs, and I am just itching to get back in my studio!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello!
Don't worry Plymouth! I'll be back!
The SF Etsy Sampler was Saturday- many thanks to all who came out to show their support! A big thank you is also in order for Scott and Catherine of the Artist Xchange, all our participating team members, and Jen of Mama’s Magic Studio– our fearless team leader who was a fantastic partner is organizing this event. I’ve never planned an event before, and I have to say that I am very proud of how this all went off. I thought I’d take a moment to share some pictures. If you want to hear a fantastic podcast with interviews of the artists, visit the SF Etsy Team Blog. There’s also tons more photos- you can also visit out team Flickr Pool to see them.
Old School Advertising- my quads still hurt for squatting to decorate the sidewalk
