What's New With Rew - Autumn 2012 Events

I'm diving right in to the as yet uncharted waters of craft shows and artisan markets! I'm really excited to be a part of two outstanding events over the next couple of months. I will be taking Rew Elliott on the road to the Bella Rustica Barn Sale and the Webb School Art & Craft Fair, commonly referred to as the "Bell Buckle" show.

Bella Rustica is right up my alley, featuring artisan crafts and vintage booths - all with a charming, rustic-chic appeal. Having just moved to the Nashville area, I was a late entry and not expecting to be able to  participate this year. I literally jumped out of my chair when I got the acceptance email.

The Bell Buckle Show boasts between 80-100 thousand visitors over the course of the event weekend. Yes, you read that right... that's a lot of folks. Truthfully, I'm a little intimidated by those numbers, but very excited to be taking part in this much anticipated yearly event.

She works primarily in Swarovski crystal elements, freshwater pearls, and sterling silver. Her designs are simple and classic, perfect for brides looking for understated, clean elegance.
