PLEIADES Art Jewelry

I have been the chair of Pleiades now for several years, that is, with the help from my side kick and friend, Cindy Calahan.  I have seen the ups and downs of retail in our small show.  We had a great “run” in our Bethesda Woman’s Club house location, but felt it was time to find a new home.  We are thrilled and honored to move our show to the beautiful Strathmore Mansion in Rockville.  Actually, we are partnering with Strathmore!  That’s huge for our little group!  And honestly, it says a lot about the group and the quality of work shown throughout our 29 years.  Now as we prepare for our 30^th anniversary and our big move, I stress over making this our best show ever!  It keeps me up at night….not exactly what I want, but I take all this seriously.  We have added extra guests to our lineup, making it 30 women for our 30^th year.  I am excited about the growth and changes and very hopeful for a great show.  And why shouldn’t it be great….we have so many really talented women joining us this year.  I recently finished working on our website, making lots of changes and additions. I watched the intro fade from one image to the next and loved each one of them.  What a fabulous group we have! Now I have the task of getting the word out.  I’m certainly not the most adept at the social media stuff, but I know it is the way of the world.  I will now need my crash course on Facebook, and Pinterest.  I should probably talk with one of my nieces….for them it comes naturally, or so it seems.  I will learn, as I did with the website, so “stay tuned”.
