No Fremont Market on December 14th

Sorry folks, I won't be at the Fremont Market this week because I've come down with a wicked cold. If you still need Xmas jewelry, please visit my online store or make an appointment to shop next week. Thanks!

No Fremont Market on November 2, but...

I will be at the Shop n' Schmooze at Stroum JCC on Thursday, November 6th. AND I will be back in Fremont for your regular scheduled shopping pleasure on November 9th. Remember that this week we turn our clocks back, so the Sunday market hours will change - starting at 10 am and ending at 4 pm (because it starts to get dark so early!). 

Fremont Sunday Market, October 26th

I'll be in Fremont again this Sunday. I have quite a few really cool necklaces and all Halloween/ DOD necklaces are only $15.

Fremont Market, Sunday October 12th

I'll be at the Fremont Market on Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. I'll be close to the front of the market near PCC. This week I have a bunch of earrings and necklaces on sale, so stop by to play jewelry!

Weekly markets and Keep Fremont Free!

This Saturday is the last week for Edmonds for the year. Be sure to pop by and get an early start on holiday shopping. I will also be at Fremont on Sunday. If you live in the area or frequent the market, be sure to check out www.keepfremontfree.com to put in your 2 cents about the impending parking machines planned for the area. Help keep our streets fee-free!!

Fremont Market - Sunday, August 10th

I'll be in Fremont this weekend (Saturday is Taste of Edmonds, so the regularly scheduled market is closed). And I will be having a SUMMER SALE!!! Visit me for $15 necklaces and $5 earring specials. Time to stock up!!!

Edmonds and Fremont this weekend, August 2-3

This weekend I will be at the Edmonds Saturday market from 9 to 3 and then on Sunday at the Fremont Market from 10 to 5. I just received a new shipment of fair trade sterling silver earwires and a HUGE box of vintage pieces. It looks like I should have TONS of new items, so get ready to try some things on when you stop in...

Orange Box Jewelry at the West Seattle Artwalk July 10th

Orange Box will be at the West Seattle Art Walk Thursday July 10th, 6~9pm. Keller Williams will be serving GREAT treats donated by Emerald Cove Catering, along with a variety of wines. It looks like another great event that is totally free ~ all proceeds goes to the artist when you buy their art.

Fremont Fair, June 21 and 22!

SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!!! Celebrate this weekend at the Fremont Fair Saturday 10 am to 8 pm and Sunday 11 am to 7 pm. Check out www.fremontfair.com for directions, festival map, and parking suggestions (although I suggest you walk, ride your bike, or take the bus). I'll be in front of Getty Images on 34th Street (just across the street from Peet's) which will make it easy to caffeinate and shop for jewelry at the same time. What could be better?

Fremont Market - Sunday, June 15th

It's a few days out, but there is a good chance for another semi-sunny Sunday. I'll be at the Fremont Market again (www.fremontmarket.com/fremont for directions) with a return of some old favorites. I've just completed another couple pairs of naturally shaped Agate slice earrings in gold and silver. Each pair is unique due to the stone shape, waves of color and cut. Prices start at just $10 per pair, so stop by and try some on...

Fremont Market, Sunday June 8th

I'll be in Fremont this Sunday from 10am to 5 pm with new necklaces, new vintage bling rings, and a few new surprises. (No, I didn't shave my head again!) The forecast is for a day without rain, so come visit us and enjoy a walk in the sunshine while it lasts - woo-hoo!

Fremont Flea Market - Sunday, June 1st

Instead of driving all the way to the coast this weekend to play, save the gas money, stay home and have fun at the Fremont Sunday Market! (It's right next to PCC in Fremont - visit the Market website for a map http://www.fremontmarket.com/fremont/). I've been a busy jewelry-making bee this week and will have lots of new goodies. Stop by and play jewelry!

Visit me at the Fremont Flea Market - Sunday, May 25th

It might be raining outside, but it'll be reasonably dry in my tent so I'll be at the Fremont Flea Market this Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. I have lots of new fun jewelry and have replenished my stock of vintage bling rings after the run on them at the U District Street Fair last week. (A big thanks to everyone who visited me there despite the 90 degree heat on Saturday!)

U District Street Fair May 17th & 18th!

You can find me at the U District Street Fair on Saturday, May 17th from 10 am to 7 pm and on Sunday, May 18th from 10 am to 6 pm.

Seattle Green Fest April 12th and 13th!

I won't be at the Fremont Sunday Market this week. Instead I'll be at the Seattle Green Fest at the Convention Center sponsored by Co-op America and Global Exchange. Come visit me at the Fair Trade Sports booth where I'll be hanging out with founder Scott James. Scott says he'll be speaking a couple of times during the conference including:

Saturday, April 12, 1PM: Sweat-Free Seattle Campaign Join myself and Global Exchange’s Valerie Orth and Elizabeth Swager to discuss how your city or town can adopt laws that prohibit local institutions from purchasing goods made in sweatshops. Together, we can create a substantial market for goods made by workers who get paid a living wage, are treated with dignity and respect, and have a voice on the job.

Saturday, April 12, 5PM: Eco-Certified Fair Trade Sports Come hear how we can kick sweatshops off the playing fields of our schools and parks with eco-certified Fair Trade sports balls and uniforms.

Sunday, April 13, 2PM: Fully Committed Fair Trade Businesses What makes a business Fair Trade? Join me to hear how the Fair Trade Federation ensures local business practices have a positive impact on producers a world away.

Green Fest shows off the latest in sweatshop-free clothing, organic beer and wine, recycled products, Fair Trade, vegetarian cuisine, renewable energy and more. It will be a weekend full of speakers, 300 business exhibitors, and even a clothing swap! With admission to Green Festival you will also be offered a FREE Co-op America membership. Visit www.greenfestival.org to register.

New Jewelry, New Look - Fremont Sunday Market March 16

Come visit Orange Box at the Fremont Sunday Market this week from 10 am to 4 pm. I have loads of new jewelry to celebrate spring including some new fine silver pieces. Fine silver is 99.9% silver that does not contain any other trace metals. It doesn't tarnish as easily as sterling silver and is slightly softer. Most commercially available silver is .925 sterling silver which is an alloy. This means it typically has a fine silver content of 92.5% and a copper content of 7.5%. While the copper adds strength to the jewelry it is also what causes sterling silver to tarnish more quickly and easily.

To get your own ring, you can buy one online at the Orange Box shop or visit me at the Fremont Sunday Market this Sunday, January 20th from 10 am to 4 pm. I'll be located just in front of Custom Smoothie (www.fremontmarket.com for directions).
