 Well we have entered the "cold" season! Anyone ready for it yet? Not me!! LOL. But hubby is itching to try out his new snow plow truck! He had to replace his trusted old Rusty Blue, because it's falling apart on the truck bed and the door doesn't shut again. Time for a new one. There's also been a VENUE CHANGE for the SARTELL WINTER FARMERS MARKET! On super short notice we have found out Sunday night that we will no longer be at the Sartell Community Center but all dates will be at the Sartell City Hall, 125 Pine Cone Road N. Honestly I'm not sure how I feel about this change, due to the fact with my jewelry I rely on lots more foot traffic from events at the Community Center. City Hall seems removed from lots of activity, especially if there are no other events going on. So please stay tuned to the events page and especially my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NotesNBling for show news/updates/changes! UPCOMING EVENTS: Date: Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 Event: Sartell Winter Market (NNB & Sauce/Crafts) Time: 10 am - 1 pm Where: Sartell City Hall, 125 Pine Cone Rd. N. (NEW LOCATION!!)

Here are some of the latest items: I found this fun cat pendant which is a perfect match for the Paris Inspired Style of knotted leather & beads. The beads from my stash matched perfectly! So fun. Then I re-ordered the rustic copper heart horse, a rustic feather and found a rustic dragonfly. These necklaces are more simple with the beads (per suggestion of one of my customers) and she had a great idea for those who don't like a lot of beads and a more simple approach. Most of them are in the 22" length range. The blue beach glass necklace is also on knotted leather and a longer one with 33". Email or message me for prices. IN ENDING:
Hope to see you all at the upcoming holiday shows. Again please double check the schedule to be sure there are no changes or additions. Wishing everyone a very blessed Thanksgiving and beginning of the holiday season. May we all have a grateful heart towards God who has given us so much grace and forgiveness. May we have repentant hearts and may He always be our hope, strength, first love and source of trust (so important) in anything we face in this world. Blessings, Sam

 Here we are in October already! We personally have had a busy summer and a "construction" project start in October. We are working to get my shed done. Floor was finished yesterday, baseboards today.... and that'll be it for a while as hubby will be busy with other projects. I was hoping to have it ready for my Annual Jewelry Open House on Oct. 14, but unfortunately that won't be the case. However it's a start before the snow flies and if we have some more warm days later in the month - who knows what we will get done... Now on to the upcoming events, so you guys know what's happening in the Jewelry/Art world.... UPCOMING EVENTS: Date: Saturday, October 7, 2023 Event: Backwards Bread Co. 4th Anniversary Event (NNB & BBQ Food) Time: 7 am - 2 pm Where: Backwards Bread Co., 3360 Southway Drive Town: Saint Cloud, MN Backwards Bread is hosting their annual Anniversary Celebration. This time the dates fell differently for that Saturday, so I will be set up with my jewelry for their event (when normally that's around my NotesNBling annual Open House at the studio) and of course hubby Warren will serve breakfast burritos in the morning and then for lunch, Beef Brisket BBQ sandwiches on Backwards Bread's Brioche buns and cheese curds and fries... Date: Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023 Event: NotesNBling Annual Open House Customer Appreciation Time: 10 am - 4 pm Where: At NotesNBling Studio/Home (email [email protected] for address) (If rain, wind or cold, sale and hangout will be inside the house) Town: Sauk Rapids, MN There will be a drawing for a special necklace or bracelet (not sure which yet) and of course the "draw-your-own-sale" and some discounts on selected items. I'll have some refreshments and snacks. I'm hoping for nice weather so we can sit outside on the deck and visit a while too. This is the one time when you can take your time shopping without the pressures of crowds of the craft/art shows. Should the weather turn cold/rainy/uber windy, then I'll be moving everything inside. I'll be updating my Facebook page (Facebook.com/NotesNBling) should I have to go inside, so be sure to check that before you head out. If you have my number you can also text me. Most of my customers already know the address, but if you've bought from me at a show and didn't get a flyer with the address, just email to: [email protected] for directions. Date: Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023 Event: St. Augusta Legion Fall Craft Show (NNB & Sauce/Crafts) Time: 10 am - 2 pm Where: St. Augusta Legion, 1894 247th St. Town: St. Augusta, MN Date: Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 Event: Sartell Winter Market (NNB & Sauce/Crafts) Time: 10 am - 1 pm Where: Sartell Community Center, 850 19th St. S Town: Sartell, MN NOTESNBLING JEWELRY: l've been working on some new items that I'm excited to share with you all at the upcoming holiday shows. There are new Christmas Ornament Hangers or Ornaments (you can use them either way) with some fun and unique beads or handcrafted designs all of course NotesNBling style. I haven't taken pictures of them, but will take a few in the next few days, which means you'll need to check it out on my Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/NotesNBling. Here are some of the NEWEST Leather bracelets!! I'm so excited about these! Sadly I only have two of the daisy half-cuff ones, so be sure to stop by at a show soon to try on for size! The other's I can make as I've ordered in more magnetic clasps. ENDING REMARKS:
Hasn't it been the most beautiful warm fall weather lately? I've really enjoyed the warm temps although very unseasonably warm. Sadly all that came to an end today when the wind was blowing a hunnerd gazillion miles! Talk about blustery. This Saturday is going to be mighty "cold" feeling after all the warmth with the event at Backwards Bread Co. I remember last 2 years that the first weekend in October has generally been colder than the second. So at least (and I hope the forecast stays that way) it'll be a tad warmer with 58 degrees on Oct. 14th. Hope to see you at a show and enjoy the fall weather and the colors of the turning leaves. Blessings and love, Sam |

 Psalm 100 Scripture
1 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. 3 Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. 5 For the LORD is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting And His faithfulness to all generations. Archives
