About Me

My photo
I started making jewelry in 2004 and it slowly grew into DarkFire Designs. I opened a shop on Etsy a little over a year ago, and later opened Faerie Footprints, a new metaphysical line, also on Etsy. I have now expanded to clothing and whatever crazy accessories form themselves in my head. On November 4th, 2011 DarkFire Designs reformed into d.Kei, and then with continued growth it split into two shops: d.Kei for the clothing and Visual Kei line, and DarkFire Designs remained as the flagship store, with the rest of the jewelry. A fairy kei shop is now in the planning stages.

The festival so far is awesome, though the foot traffic was severely diminishd due to the closing of the Hazel bridge. Tempest has finished playing their first set and will play another this afternoon. The winds tried their hardest but the booth and most of the inventory stayed anchored. Two and a half more hours!

Events for the Weekend

Aaaand we are off!

First and foremost is the fact that the sixth annual Celtic Midsummer Faerie Festival is this weekend and I will have a booth, selling fused glass, more clothing, and other oddities. It is at the VFW Hall in Fair Oaks. Its located on Kruithof Way, off of Hazel. A NOTE TO ANYONE ATTENDING THE FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND: CalTrans has decided to close the Hazel Bridge because they are losers, so we were advised to take Highway 50 to Sunrise, hang a right on Sunset, and double back. Its about half a block from Sunset to Kruithof, and while the street sign isn't visible the VFW sign is, and they will have signs out to direct festival goers. ^_^

Second Saturday is also this weekend, and a friend of mine will be selling her fused glass, along with my jewelry and the work of another friend. If you can't make the festival head out to 21st and K street. If my memory serves me right its right around The Depot and Badlands. XD

That is all for now. I have been busy gearing up for both events this weekend and its back to work I go. ^_^

Events and happenings

This poor blog has been languishing, and now I'm going to dust it off and put it back to good use. ^_^ There will be many new posts coming up relating to all the stuff that's been going on as of late...

Clothing - As an early graduation present, I got a Babylock Imagine from my grandmum and a friend gave me her Bernina Activa, so now that I have the proper equipment I have been sewing like a crazy lady.

Glasswork - More stuff came out of the kiln, and will be getting the proper findings attached and ready to vend.

Etsy Stores - DarkFire Designs is back up and running, albeit with a much smaller inventory as I slowly go through what I have and what needs to be redone. Faerie Footprints will be closed until after the Faerie Festival.

Iceland Pendants - I am putting more pendants on the Etsy store today. :) I will also have more pendants at the Faerie Festival(see next note) and at the upcoming flea market.

Upcoming Events - I have a full calendar this month!

June 12th & 13th - Celtic Midsummer Faerie Festival, VFW Hall, 8990 Kruithof Way, Fair Oaks, California, 95628 - More Info

In addition, a friend of mine is vending at Second Saturday on June 12th in Sacramento and will have some of my work to sell. I will post details as I get them.
