GlitterFest

Glitterfest! It was wonderful, magical, and all things inspiring. Starting out with the friendliest greeting "at the door" by these two sweet ladies, who gifted us with a little glass vial of g l i t t er* !

The very first person to greet me inside the "hall" with a big hug and her sunny smile was Christie Repasy.

Christie is an extraordinarily talented artist, her paintings are beloved by her fans from all over the world. She grew up in my home town, and is a California treasure. {she's beautiful too....both inside and out}

Her work is gorgeous!


The cutest ever Pink Chair, fit for a little Princess.

I wanted to go back and talk to her some more, but every time I circled around, there was a throng of people there, and no wonder, with exquisite pieces like the one below for sale.







Next stop, the magical world of Melissa Tereck. I first saw her work in Cambria, at BirdsofaFeather here . It was such a delight to meet her, and her creations are beyond cute!

This is Melissa, and one of her dolls she makes by hand, and paints. They are beyond adorable. You can see the one my friend Karen took home with her. so cute.

These girls are made with antique and vintage Hats and Bonnets, they are boxes. love. them.







Georgia Hecht and Kim Kosta of SaltwaterStudio always have the best stuff! I didn't get a chance to take many photos as their booth was so packed with people all the time.

The oh! so talented Wendy Humphreys makes the most gorgeous Jewelry. She had amazing pieces for sale.

Marrion Ballog, author of the book "Mini Boxes" had a great booth, filled with adorable things in boxes {no surprise there!} to give as gifts.









These two, many of you will recognize. They are the queens of Tiaras and Crowns, Kerri Judd and Danyel Montecinos. Both darlings. yep, they are.

Kerri's Paintings and Danyel's Crowns




Beautiful Tags in a variety of colors {glittered, of course}

Any one of these things would add beauty, fun and charm to your life, wouldn't they?

Kristy Pfannenstiel's booth was a total beauty spot, too. {okay, are you getting the idea that every single space at GlitterFest was wonderful? Yes!!}

Here she is next to her mannequin {wearing a killer antique wedding gown!} and some of her jewelry designs. {ps. Kristy...your business cards? Totally cute, and yes, totally worth all the time you spent on them. I put mine on my bulletin board}

See these dolls?? They are the hilarious creations of artist Christy Silacci . They really are so funny. She has such a way with her "children" that you will love. Go see some of her work. It will make you smile.

See?

I am ending this post with the Sock Monkeys by artist Terry Hale. They are in their "Spring" outfits. I still have another post or two to share from Glitterfest, since I still have 2x as many photos as the ones I've shown here. 'Till then! Hope you visit all the artists and enjoy their work.

I'm all glittered out for today. xo xo
