First, we got to help out a great cause--the fesitval was a charity event to raise funds for the Ruby E. Bailey Family Service Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting Lexington's poorest communities by providing educational opportunities, childcare services, mentoring opportunities, and job skills training.
Second of all, the Lexington's Mayor, Jim Newberry, stopped by our booth. Not only did he purchase one of our 'Nova' color pattern bracelets for his wife, but he commissioned us for a matching set of earrings. We also made a pair of our 'Flow Blue' color pattern earrings on sterling silver as our way of saying thanks.
We also met some other great artists as well--Nora Swanson and her husband of 'Song of the Planet' Exquisite Jewelry. They make some absolutely gorgeous patinaed copper and brass jewelry and wall hangings. Visit their web site at http://nswanson-arts.tripod.com/index.html.
All in all, it was a great day.
