My First Wholesale Show!

Working on new pieces for my first wholesale show at ACC Baltimore

2015 is already off to a fast and crazy start for me and my business. I was notified earlier this month that I was accepted into American Craft Council's Hip Pop program for emerging Artists. I am so grateful and so happy to be taking part in this new experience and I can't wait to learn and grow more as an Artist! I had always dreamed of one day participating in ACC, and now that day has finally come. I'm super excited and also super nervous to be doing my first wholesale show, this is just such uncharted water and I'm learning new things literally everyday, it's a little overwhelming!

I just wanted to share the news with you and if anyone knows a store owner of gallery owner who you think might be interested in carrying my work, please don't hesitate to send me their e-mail or website! (I have a stack of 100 postcards for the show so I have some work to do haha)

You can follow American Craft Council's Hip Pop Board on Pinterest to see the amazing work of the other artists who I'm participating with!

First Sunday Arts Festival : Last show!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:49:00 +0000

This Sunday is my last showing at the Annapolis First Sunday's Art Festival! It's supposed to be great weather so if you are in the area, come out and enjoy lovely Annapolis by the water and perhaps browse for some early holiday gifts? :) I'll be located on West Street this time. See you there! Also check out my website for more upcoming shows this fall/winter season.

First Sunday Arts Festival in Annapolis: October 5th
on Historic West Street

Over 100 fine artists and crafters as well as entertainers and musicians will put their talents on display when First Sunday Arts Festival holds its final street festival of the 2014 season on Sunday, October 5th from 12:00 noon - 5:00 pm on historic West Street in downtown Annapolis.

In addition to a plethora of local and regional artists, photographers, and woodcrafters whose original work --- as with all exhibitors --- is for purchase, the festival displays arts and crafts of all genres to make a visit even more enjoyable: fiber art; pottery; glass; metal; printmaking, sculpture. And, as Annapolis is "the sailing capital of the nation," visitors can be assured there will be a full slate of artists and crafters displaying nautical paintings, decorative items, and hand-forged jewelry. There's face-painting for the children, and dogs are welcome, too!

Come early and enjoy the soothing music of guitarist Jonathan Stone at 49 West Coffeehouse or take in a Bloody Mary at Stan and Joe's. Meander through the many shops such as The Annapolis Collection Gallery, devoted to the display of the Annapolis master painters who have received recognition for their artistic talents. Enjoy lunch and a drink at one of the outdoor cafes set up in the street. And, at the end of the day, the festival continues on the patio of Ramshead Tavern.

October's sponsors are: Evolve Medical Clinics, Leaf Filter Gutter Guards, Kitchen Savers, Long Fence, and Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing.

The continued growth of the First Sunday Arts Festivals is reflected in the increasing strength and quality of the exhibitors and performers as well as the thousands of visitors who have come together to make each Sunday a success. Visit www.firstsundayarts.com for information for the forthcoming 2015 season.

MD Home and Garden Tickets

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 17:47:00 +0000

Hey everyone! I will be showing my work at the MD Fall Home and Holiday show on October 17-19 at the Timonium Fair grounds.

Like last year, I have about 40 free tickets to give away if anyone is interested in going! It saves you the $6 admission price! If anyone wants them simply e-mail me your mailing address and the number of tickets you want and I will send them to you for free! I have a limited number of these tickets so I will send them out until they are gone! My e-mail: info@sunahjewelry.com

This year there is a new rule that we can't give these free passes out to our customers while we are in the show so if you want one you must contact me before the show starts!

It sounds like they are trying to mix things up this year since they changed the name of the show to Home and Holiday instead of Home and Garden. I saw some interesting things on the flyer that looked new including a frisbee dog show and a showcase of a sustainable Tiny House. I'm really looking forward to participating this year, hope to see you there!

Summer is a prime season for visits to Historic Downtown Annapolis and is the perfect time for taking in the First Sunday Arts Festival with its many cafes and shops on West Street.

These local and regional artists will be exhibiting silkscreen, pottery, hand blown and fused glass, nautical paintings and photography, wood turnings, iron works, jewelry, books, face paintings, henna tattoos, painted ostrich eggs and more.

Wild Encounters

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 22:15:00 +0000

In honor of the full moon tonight we travelled to the PA Wolf Sanctuary.

Did you know that wolves like hot dogs? Well they love them.

We got up close and personal with 5 different wolf packs and got to experience what life in a pack is really like.

The caretakers were so knowledgable and it's clear how passionate they are about these amazing creatures. We learned so many things I never knew about wolves. For one thing, they don't howl at the moon :)

I highly recommend visiting if you get a chance. It's rare to be so close to any wild animal let alone a wolf pack. It's also a great way to support the needs of this amazing rescue.

The day has come

To my little brother the day before your wedding day:

I never thought there would come a day that I could easily admit that you have grown up. When did this happen?? Gradually, then all at once I guess. In my mind you are still the tiny little boy who dominated at hide and seek, was super picky about food, loved playing with beanie babies, and who would happily play dress up with me and my friends. How did you grow up into this tall, mustached, degree wielding, wedding bound adult man? However you managed it, I just wanted to tell you how

proud I am of you for all you have accomplished. First graduating with a degree in your field of choice, then finding the love of your life and now you are going on in the ladder of life and tying the knot tomorrow. Although you may be growing up, you will always be my little brother and I love you!

Xoxo - your big sister

New work, some thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:41:00 +0000

Lately I've been creating things just for the pure joy of creating. I know it sounds silly like, shouldn't you always create what you love? And I do, it's just as Artists I think we sometimes get tied to these cycles of making the same thing over and over again because it's our "best seller" or it's what you think people want. So it's been nice to step away a little and just spend some quality time in the studio. It's been nice creating without thinking much about pricing or how it will look on the display table at a show.

Not to get deep or anything but,

My greatest joy comes from bringing to life designs that have been inspired in the moment. Ones that I have jotted down after being moved by a line in a book, or sketched out after seeing something in nature or an outfit on the street. They are not usually quiet, small, everyday, goes-with-everything designs. I feel like it's important to sometimes take a break and remember why you started making in the first place.

These designs created with freedom, I think, are the ultimate reflection of who I am as an Artist and it brings a great sense of peace when I bring to life these things that have harbored in my head and on paper. I hope to take more of these little breaks in production work this year and just sit and make what I truly love. I hope you like them, and if not, that's alright too :)

Stunning weather at the park yesterday! It was great to see so many people out and a pleasure to chat with so many new faces :) here are just a few snaps of some fabulous people modeling their new Sun Ah Blair Jewelry pieces:

The weather is looking fabulous for tomorrow's show! Come out and enjoy the beautiful day at Carroll County's Art in the Park :) I'll be nestled along the path in booth #52.

I'm very excited to be showing some of the new work and one-of-a-kind pieces I've been busy with. I've been working with a new feeling of freedom I haven't felt in a while so I hope you enjoy what has come of it!

Better together

Yesterday the organizing Queen came over and majorly transformed my work space. My mantra for that day was "only what I use now". It's crazy what you collect, crazier what you hold on to, and craziest the reason you keep it.

Having someone with me when I attempt organization is imperative to my success rate. I give yesterday a 99% Thanks Momma you the Queen :)

My Utterance
