The Creative Connection and Creative Women

While I had a great time at the Junk Bonanza, for me, the excitement truly set in when I took a side trip over to the Creative Connection. For a first year it was amazing! I met so many creative women who are running their own businesses and making beautiful lives. It was really empowering to be among such a talented group of creatives!
A vintage wooden shoe form and a small bird’s nest with three speckled eggs sit on a wooden shelf, inviting a creative connection between craftsmanship and nature.

 There was so much to see at the Etsy marketplace! I wish I had signed up for some classes after I saw how cool it was and who the speakers were. I think it would have been amazing to attend some of them.
A white lace and tulle wedding dress hangs next to a large poster of a woman in a red hat biting a pen, creating a creative connection against the backdrop of white curtains.
 It really made me want to go home and create, seeing how everyone in the Etsy Marketplace set up their booths.
A burlap banner with "THE VINTAGE BARN" hangs above a display, fostering a creative connection, while a white birdcage is suspended from the ceiling grid.
  I met such nice artists and bloggers, and loved seeing how they were building their businesses.
Two women are standing close together and smiling at the camera in front of a white curtain backdrop, capturing a moment of creative connection.

 

The gorgeous and talented Lisa Leonard who was sweet enough to give us a little present.

Lovely booths and wares. I really loved this jewelry display with the bracelets and necklaces draped over cloches and the Santos Doll.
Two smiling women holding DSLR cameras pose for a photo at an indoor event, capturing their creative connection. Booths and a "scrapblog" sign are visible in the background.
 Traci the supermodel who never take a bad picture ( I’d hate ya if I didn’t love ya 😉  and the famous Fancy Farmgirl-Tiffany herself!
Two women stand indoors at an event, smiling at the camera and sharing a creative connection. One has her arm around the other's shoulder, with tables, books, and displays visible in the background.

 

 And my most exciting and star struck moment of the day! One of my idols, Mary Jane Butters herself  from Mary Jane’s Farm who is as real and organic as she comes across in her magazine! It was a big day for this organic girl grass-fed eating girl!
A woman with long brown hair stands smiling in front of a pink, decorated background with a festive tree and bunting, radiating creative connection.
Super sweet Jennifer Hayslip, who I love all of the pinkness and sweetnes she creates.
A dress form displays layered necklaces, including a pocket watch, creating a creative connection amid vintage decor and pastel-colored items in the booth.

A display of whimsical handmade art pieces highlighting creative connection, including framed faces, circular paper designs, a wire tower with paper ornaments, and various mixed-media artworks on shelves.

 

Artwork by my good and talented friend Debbie Egizio, who I adore everything she does. She is so talented!
A group of women posing for a photo, capturing a moment of creative connection.
 And Suzanne and her daughter  who I met at the first Nada farm sale. Which reminds me, wait till you see what we are doing at the barn!
Booth display of vintage and antique items, including lace, framed photos, mannequins, old books, and decorative objects, arranged on shelves and tables against a white curtain backdrop for a creative connection to the past.
 I have to say, sign me up  for next year!  This was such a great event with a creative connection and creative women! I am soooo there! It’s a crazy week. Nada Farm sale is coming up fast.
