According to forecasts, we’re in for a gray, rainy Southern California weekend.
But at least one area of Anaheim today will be “aglitter”–thanks to artistic sisters Sheryl Simpson and Dianne White.
They’re the founders of “Glitterfest“: a handmade-only mixed-media arts and crafts festival, with their Spring show starting at ten this morning at Anaheim’s Business Expo Center.
Sheryl and Dianne emailed that they’ll have more than fifty artists on hand, showcasing their creations,. And they say there’s going to be an incredible range of treasures on hand: everything from vintage jewelry to home decor, knitted items and paper creations–plus supplies for makers!
Want a preview of the show? Glitterfest’s Facebook page includes pictures of some stunning copper bracelets (I love the dragonfly!) by Despina Buoncristiani; an enchanting silvery Easter-egg creation from Robin Dudley-Howes; and the whimsical, angel-inspired paintings of Lisa Loria. Can we say “gorgeous” here?
Now, to be sure you’re not disappointed–this is a one-day event. So you will need to brave the rain if you’d like to see Glitterfest’s Spring show–they wrap up this afternoon.
But it sounds like a great reason to get out the umbrella–travel safely, and have a good time.
(Can’t make it for whatever reason, but need a special project to keep young artists happy on a rainy weekend? You might like to check out Sheryl and Dianne’s “Glitterfest Gazette” blog–their St. Patrick’s Day crafts for kids are really cute!)
Glitterfest Spring Show runs from 10:00 this morning, Saturday, February 28th, to 4:00 this afternoon, at Anaheim’s Business Expo Center, 1960 South Anaheim Way at Stanford Court. Admission is $7.00 per person.
