Pink and Candylicious in Brooklyn...

So I had my first showing in Brooklyn's Artist's and Fleas  on Saturday.  It was cool, but I felt soo out of my element.  I tend to be very timid and quiet, and you would never guess that from my wardrobe and accessories, lol.  So as you can imagine this was a very new experience for me, not just because it was my first showing, but because I put myself out there in a way I have never done before.  I needed my Dysfunctional Party Tshirt ala Twillypop , lol.

I am soo used to doing my thing online via my Etsy Shop, so this was a very interesting experience and have no regrets doing it, although at moments I felt very awkward.   Luckily I had my hubby with me and my new friend CandyBella  showing with me as well.  But still there would be moments when the awkwardness would creep in from time to time.  Like when a person would approach the table, I'd freeze up and be at a loss of words.  I guess this will take some getting used to and don't regret doing this, but wow this was soo different for me.   I will have to do it a few more times and get comfortable with it.

Cool and quiet is what you get from me at first, but I really am sweet and soft.  I am much more open and can communicate myself more freely through my work and writting.  So this was the first time and won't be the last that you will see of AthinaLaBella at a table with her candiliscious treasures.  Be sure to pass by the next, stay tuned. :)  Enjoy the few glispes of Saturday's most beautiful and colorful table ever!!! lol. ;)

Feeling Smitten...

The weather is warming up and the sun is shining brighter and I am super duper happy!!!  Things in my life are getting better and better, and I am looking forward to the good things that are ahead.  I have been working really hard and been busy, busy, busy.  I have been creating pieces for a consignment deal I got with an eclectic art gallery called The Art and Soul Gallery in Washington State.  


Funny how the universe works...just two days before this happened, I was discussing with my friend Candeegurl about her consignment. (Congrat to you girl!)  I was excited for her and expressed to her that I wanted to go the same route, but I was intimidated by the thought of approaching some of the shops in my area.  She had nothing but good things to say to me and some encouraging words. (Thanks <3) Then I thought to myself and realized..."You know what, get over it, just do it!!!" and said "What do I have to lose?...nothing."  


So I then felt and knew deep down in my heart I could do this, and then Bang!!!!  Two days later I get an message from a sweet lady over at Etsy who loves my jewelry and would love to carry my work and here I am today.  I am soo filled with gratitude and joy.  We are soo blessed sometimes and we don't take the time to stop and appreciate all that we have.  I am soo gracious really.  So I am looking forward to good things that will come and enjoying the now.  The universe is definately listening and giving....you just have to feel it, see it, and be it and it will manifest its self somehow.  


I just completed a few sweet treasures for the lovely ladies of "The Cottage" over at Feeling Smitten Cupcake BathBombs.  Their cupcakes are "the bomb!" ha, ha, ha.  The look just like real edible cupcakes, they smell so yummy too. Thanks a bunch to sweet lady Courtney, your a doll!!!  All the cupcakes in the photos below are the Cupcake BathBombs by Feeling Smitten .  Are they sooo darn cute?  I love them!!! <3 
Soo feast your eyes on these yummies.....

I think they turned great!!!!
