Sorry to make anyone else out there jealous, but I really have the coolest job in the world! I’m the Acquisitions Editor here which means it’s my job to find wonderful authors to submit book proposals to us for potential publication. You won’t be hearing a lot from me because it’s also my job to fly under the radar. I travel the globe (okay, maybe the nation) in search of the next great author….hey, maybe I need a cape!
Hmmm…anyhow, my most recent talent search took me down to LA last Sunday for the Felt Club Holiday fair put on by the lovely Jenny Ryan, the author of the popular blog Sew Darn Cute. There were about 80 vendors there all selling their handmade wares with a live DJ and entertainment from the totally over the top Leslie Hall and her ring-a-ding-ding gem sweater madness. The lines were around the block and around the block again to get in to the event.
I’ve been holding off blogging about it because I wanted to know the final numbers on the attendance, but haven’t seen them announced yet. As you can see, there were a LOT of people…
My 007 status means I can’t show you the specific wonderful vendors whose handmade items I was drooling over, but it was exciting to see so many people come out on a smoky, ashy, Sunday afternoon to sew, swap and to buy local handmade.
