😂 THE TOP 10 QUESTIONS I GET IN THE MOBILE BOUTIQUE 😂

After doing enough shows, I’ve realized I get asked the same questions over and over. So here they are…

1. “Do you actually go down the road with ALL this merchandise set up?”

2. “Who built this? Did YOU?”

3. “Are YOU the artist?”

4. “Do you sleep in here?”

5. “Do you just travel all over the country and stay in the trailer?”

6. “What do you do with this thing in the winter?”

7. “Where do you get ALL these beads?”

8. “Do you take commissions?”

9. “How come no one is helping you?”

And my personal favorite…

10. “Do you need a bathroom break? There’s nobody here helping you!” 😂😂😂

These are seriously the questions I get asked ALL THE TIME in the Fabulous Firefly Mobile Boutique.

Maybe I should just make a sign. 😂

Funny how life can make one heck of a circle. ❤️

More than 30 years ago, I met artist Scott Jacobs during Sturgis Rally week. That meeting eventually led to Bikes & Spikes magazine, a trip to California, Scott modeling for us, and even a logo he painted especially for our magazine.

Fast-forward three decades…and I found myself painting alongside Scott at his Artistry Retreat in Deadwood.

I finally sat down and wrote the part of the whole crazy story. And yes, I dug out some GREAT old photos. 😂

If you’ve got a few minutes, come take a trip down memory lane with me.

Read it here:

From meeting Scott Jacobs during Sturgis Rally week to Bikes & Spikes magazine and, 30 years later, painting with him in Deadwood. My full-circle story.

Merry Christmas! Actually this is your friendly reminder to get your gift giving done early! Yes, I know it’s still hot outside. Yes, I know nobody asked for Santa yet. And yes, I went ahead and made Christmas jewelry anyway. 🎅

I’ve been playing with Santas, jingle bells, peppermint beads, Swarovski crystals and enough red-and-green sparkle to make an elf nervous.

So while the rest of you are enjoying summer, I’ll just be over here decking the halls and beading the heck out of Christmas. 🎄

Here’s a little peek at some of the new holiday pieces coming out of the Fabulous Firefly studio! Merry Christmas early!
