The 44th Scituate Art Festival

I grew up in Rhode Island and for as long as I can remember Columbus Day weekend was all about the Scituate Art Festival. People from all over come for the handmade crafts, sausage and pepper sandwiches and oh those dough boys.

I'm sad to say this will be my last year selling at the Scituate Art Festival. I have a friend Lisa that lives just before the entrance and I have always been fortunate enough to set up a table in her yard to sell my jewelry. Well Lisa and her family are selling their house (I wonder if I could have grandfather rights) LOL.

The Scituate Art Festival takes place every year during the Columbus Day long weekend - Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. - in Scituate, Rhode Island.

Scituate is a picturesque New England village nestled in the northwest corner of Rhode Island. Visitors stroll the beautiful Village Green, taking in some of the most unique varieties of art, craft, sculpture and antiques. Autumn provides the backdrop for this wonderful festival, bestowing crisp air and colorful foliage to energize the body and the spirit.

This annual event began in 1967 as a means of supporting the effort to restore the 1830 era former Congregational Church in the village of Scituate. Starting with just twelve local exhibitors that first year, this well-established and much-anticipated event now draws close to three hundred exhibitors from all over the United States and Canada. Proceeds from the festival are distributed to a variety of good causes within the town, including continued upkeep of the venerable old church

Experience the Scituate Art Festival just once and you'll be sure to return year after year, and I hope you have a chance to stop by and say hi to me!

Many Years Ago

I love to go antiquing and years ago I found this brass bracelet at a small antique store in Foster R.I. Like any piece of jewelry you wear it for a while and it either goes out of style or you just forget about it. That is until recently.....

I had been looking on Etsy for unique and different findings and I found these beautiful brass earring findings at The Despina Collection on Etsy. I just added a simple brass ring to complete a long look.

Pearl Petals and Labradorite Teardrop Cluster Earrings

I am so excited I finally purchased a strand of pearl petals also known as keishi pearls! I purchased them from Pandorasbeadbox, a shop on Etsy. I have wanted these pearls for so long and now I just can't wait to make more jewelry with them.

My first item is this cluster of keishi pearls with a beautiful luster to them that sit on top of blue/grey Labrdorite teardrops with flashes of blue with every movemant. All findings are sterling silver and they are 1 1/8 in from the bottom of ear wire. To view more pictures of these and other items please visit my Etsy shop Originals By Terri.

Keishi pearls are formed when an oyster rejects an implanted bead nucleus but continues to create a pearl, or when some of the implanted mantle tissue in a mussel breaks away and forms its own freeform pearl.

When just the right words are needed...

I love handmade cards. I think the creative ability to draw, sketch, or put different materials together and come up with something that needs no words because the artworks tells the story is such a gift.

Below are just a few new shops on Etsy that I think deserve mentioning!

lrsteiner Shop, the atomic rabbit features some really nice fun items such as note cards and gift tags. This shop has the perfect gift for someone that loves to send notes to their friends. I look at these below and all I can think of is "lets all go to the mall!" The atomic rabbit also features note cards with ball gowns, party dresses, handbags and many more styles. The atomic rabbit is a must see shop!

Look at these cards below from Pearlstationery's shop. My friends and I are always have a girls night out and I think these would make a great invitation for a girls night out pool party! Pearlstationery also carries birthday and thank you notes. Check out the P.S. Signature Correspondence set it would make a great stocking stuffer!

Stop by homespunheaven shop as they feature some beautiful inspirational cards. Homespunheaven also carries some beautiful bookmarks and other items. I am very partial to butterflies so this is just one of my favorites in their shop.

Clean Slate

These are one of my favorite earrings. Simple slate blue czech glass bead with a bronze freshwater pearl. I made a pair for myself in more of a green tone about 3 years ago and wear them at least 3 times a week. It is also one of my best sellers at craft fairs.

When I'm not making Jewelry...

I love working in my yard. We only have a back yard because our house is so old it literally sits on the street.

We have an old fireplace that is centered in the garden that we still use. It's great for roasting marshmellows.

This is an Adirondack chair my son Alex made for me in woodshop for Christmas this year. Isn't it beautiful!!
