It's almost the weekend again . . . somehow! After a long weekend off to hang with my family and even see some Jax friends in Fort Lauderdale, it's now back to markets for me until after the holidays. The only Saturday I have off until Christmas is to go to a concert! 😵‍💫

Here's where you can find me during an especially busy weekend this week:

📌 Friday, 6-9: Wild September Nights at St. Augustine Alligator Farm 🐊🌙

📌 Saturday, 10-3: Skatepark side under the bridge at Riverside Arts Market (RAM) 🛍🛹

📌 Sunday, 12-4: Jags Season Kickoff Market at Aardwolf Brewing 🐆🍻

Kitty-o'-lantern 😻🎃

I brought back some of the Halloween charms that were popular last year, but gave a lot of them upgrades, like these kitty jack-o'-lanterns that I added a star connector and colored glass gemstone to!

All seasonal earrings will be available at markets only, and you can find me this weekend at St. Augustine Alligator Farm on Friday, Riverside Arts Market (RAM) on Saturday, and Aardwolf Brewing on Sunday!

Ghostly gatos! 👻😻

I couldn't resist these ghost kitty charms when I saw them! I've got about a dozen pairs of earrings made in a bunch of color combos with both gold and silver -- come see me at a market to scoop up a pair!

Happy 9️⃣0️⃣4️⃣ Day, First Coast friends! 🌞

I've been in Duval for 22 years now, and I am so proud to call this home!

904 covers so many places I love: Jacksonville, The Beaches, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach . . . we've got so much natural beauty, so many wonderful people, and contrary to what some clearly ~boring~ people may say, so much to do!

I'm grateful for the life I've built here and for the amazing communities I get to be a part of, and while 904 covers more than one county, I still gotta say it: DUUUVAL! 🙌😎

Oktoberfest begins in 17 days and goes until the first Sunday in October -- that's a lot of time for celebrating the world's largest folk festival! 🎊

If you've got your dirndl but no accessories to pair with it, I've got you covered! I have a limited number of Oktoberfest-inspired earrings in four different designs, two for the gals who like something a little daintier, and two for the gals who like to be a little extra. 💁‍♀️ The lids on the beer stein charms actually open and close!

I tried my best to find bratwurst charms to include in these designs, but sadly all I found were hot dog and dachshund charms. I'll continue to search!

You can come see me at an event to scoop up a pair, my next ones are Sept. 11th at St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Sept. 12th at Riverside Arts Market (RAM), and I'm happy to hold your favorite pair for you if you provide that stuff you give people in exchange for goods. 🙂

The August installment of top things said to me at markets is here. I still don't have anklets, but I love the dollar store! 💁‍♀️

All letter bead bracelets are made by me with beads purchased at bead shows, craft stores, and online retailers. I have been known to return low-quality beads to where they came from if they are not up to my standards. If the dollar store had good quality beads (I've never looked, tbh), I'd totally buy them there!

I tried something new! ✨️ (Swipe for a super cute surprise.)

While browsing online for a Panthers necklace or bracelet for my sister for her birthday, it occurred to me that I should MAKE her something! I completely underestimated how difficult it would be to track down some charms -- I would still like to find a less tiger-like panther and the first batch of hockey stick charms I got was definitely a pair of golf clubs and a golf ball -- but overall for my lack of planning ahead I think this scarf necklace came out pretty cute.

What's even cuter, however, is the little thief who immediately claimed it when my sister got her package in the mail! 😍

It's been a minute since I've done a loss prevention post, say hi to Nev! 👋😍
