My dream career or profession when I was a young girl of ten years old was to be a fashion designer. So it comes to no surprise that I’m so excited to participate in STRUT hosted by the Raleigh parks and recreation.

My good friend Sarah West is working on this event and so is Betty McKim, both talented jewelers in Raleigh so I hope for those of you in the Raleigh area should come out - it’s so fun to see how people think of ornament and adornment on the body. Jewelry and fashion go hand in hand, and I’ll be attending the event too!

Mom’s night out!!

One of my favorite local shows, the Vintage Charlotte Spring Market! And in the Queen City, Charlotte.

Vintage Charlotte combines handmade with vintage and it’s so much fun, plus it’s at Camp North End, an outdoor pavillion with food and beer.

I’m just going to come right out and say it, girlfriends are honestly my true love. Yes, my husband and daughter are my everything. But you know who really gets me? My girlfriends!

So let’s celebrate friendship on Valentine’s Day - specifically Galentine’s Day! I’m going to be selling my jewelry with my friend Maggie King of Kitsun Tarot and Patty Cupcakes. She’ll be giving readings for $10 which is a steal! You can’t beat jewelry, tarot, cupcakes and champagne. So grab your bestie and come out on the First Friday Artwalk of Uptown Greenville and come to Moxie Pop for jewelry, tarot and snacks.

It’s happening for the second year in a row - the Indie and cool wedding event of the year! I had so much fun last year at the Bourbon Bride event that I’m doing it again. Please join me and other vendors to show you what we can offer for an alternative wedding event.

I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected to be Farmville Arts Council featured artist of the month for January. I’ve been a member of the Arts Council since I moved to Farmville two years ago and I’ve so loved joining my community in sharing the arts with others.

I will have my jewelry, photographs, sketches and video on display at the reception. You will see the many collections I’ve created and the media along with it.

This is going to be brunch style! I’m going to make mini quiches and a large quiche to share along with champagne and snacks.

Join me along with many other talented makers and artists for a fun evening of handmade and holiday shopping!

Ya’ll, this is seriously your last chance to purchase Eilisain Jewels right before the end of the year and holidays. And if you’ve seen what I’ve been cooking up in the studio - it will be amaza-balls!!

If you’ll recall, last year I held a trunk show at Moxie Pop and it was alot of fun. It’s such a great space and Kelly Boutilier is such an amazing supporter and advocate for artists and the handmade community.

Join me and many other vendors for culture, art and food of downtown Farmville I’ll be selling some of my most popular and new pieces in my hometown of Farmville, NC.

All the small business’ open their doors and host special events, there will be caroling, food and more all downtown! I will have a table with all your favorite Eilisain pieces at the East Carolina ArtSpace on Main street.

I’ll be coming back to the Queen City for their amazing Vintage Charlotte Holiday show! It’s always a fun time and there are incredible NC vendors. Plus the Fillmore will have mimosas, wine, beer and snacks.

Come out and shop handmade, vintage and local!

I love good music, food and especially a craft show! The Hopscotch Music Festival is so much fun and I love it that they're including a handmade craft show.  Stop by and support local and handmade. I'll be there with a bunch of super talented makers and friends of mine.
