Music Monday for August

So it's Monday (I think) and I'm running around like a crazy person. I've got many many craft shows happening. One is just two weeks away (I really need more hours in my day...) and I have not one now, but TWO shows in September for back to back Saturdays. The first one is one I just found out about and will be shooting my application off to later this week. The other one is the one I did back in May. I also heard back from the Wayne, NJ show I've been dying to get into and my spot has been reserved. That application will be on it's way later this week as well. I'm super excited! I'll be busy busy busy from now into the foreseeable future. :)

Anyway! I will make announcements for these independently as they grow near. Expect another blog entry for the August show on the 23rd either later this week or  early to mid of next week.

Enough of that though. I know I shared this band a few months back. But I really love them and listen to my Pandora radio station for them almost every night I work my day job. They're having a concert at a great little venue on Black Friday this year. I'll miss going but I'm hoping maybe next year I can see them!

Anyway I hope you enjoy!~

Halestorm - Here's To Us (Contains some explicit language!)

Halestorm - Freak Like Me (Contains some imagery not for kids!)

Halestorm - Bad Romance by Lady Gaga Cover

I hope you enjoy the music! I'll see you all in the next post. :)

End of the Year Craft Show Announcements on a Sleepy Sunday

Hi guys! This is going to be a nice, short post. I have been scrambling to find dates for craft shows this year since May. I'm pleased to announce that out of the four shows I have been working to get into(one being extremely last minute) I will be attending three

The first show I will be attending is in Wharton, NJ on August 23rd. So in just a little over a month. :) Wharton holds an annual Canal Day Festival and this is their 39th year! I'm super excited to be attending. There is going to be a huge turnout of people and this will be the biggest event I've done to date. There will be free boat rides, horse drawn carriage rides, a huge variety of music from classical to jazz to rock and more, as well as lots of delicious food, a traveling zoo, and of course a slew of craft and art vendors within the park. Keep a close watch on my Facebook and Google+ pages as the date draws closer. I will put up events and post information with directions and times. You can also visit the above Canal Day link to see their official website which provides this information as well. :)

Next up after August I will be revisiting the Skyline Lakes Fire Department venue in Ringwood, NJ. They will be having a fall version of their May Craft/Vendor show and Pet Adoption. The date for this is September 27th! Mark your calendar and remember to check my Facebook and Google+ pages as the date nears. I'll put up more information there with directions and show times. :)

And lastly I will be attending the Wanaque First Aid Squad Craft Show in Wanaque, NJ on November 22nd. I have never done this venue before so it will be a new experience for me! Again, make sure you are keeping watch on my Facebook and Google+ pages so you can catch information on show times and get directions!

The show I'm not sure on is the Packanack Lake Mother's Club Craft Show held in Wayne, NJ where I live. The date from info I have collected is Novemeber 8th. This was the venue of my first craft show. I missed it last year and I am hoping the delay in response from the new heads of the Mother's Club doesn't cause me to miss out on it.

Some other exciting news is that for the Canal Day Festival and Ringwood shows I will be bringing along my jewelry/accessories AND vintage items. This will be the second and third time ever that I'll be at a live venue with both my wares. I am going to try and bring as much as I can without crowding out my canopy. lol

That is all for now. If I am able to book any additional shows I will make a new update! Should any of the above information change I will also make an update to let you all know. I just sent out my contracts yesterday so I should hopefully hear back with confirmation before the end of this week.

Tomorrow is Music Monday so don't forget to check back in with me and see what my picks are for the day. Your hint is that they are some classic old tunes!

See you all in the next post. :)
