Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great start to your week by finding some fabulous deals online since it’s Cyber Monday! I haven’t had a chance to partake in anything since I am currently under the weather but never the less the lovely must go on! I received word today that I was accepted into The Rock and Shop Market which is happening this Saturday in Durham NC. If you haven’t heard of this awesome show then you need to! I’ve been a participating designer at The Rock & Shop for a couple of years now and every year it keeps getting bigger and better!

Not only is this Saturday’s show a perfect time to get out and buy something handmade from local designers but it’s also at two pretty cool venues: Motorco Music Hall & Fullsteam Brewery in Durham. There will also be a fashion show, live bands (The Ox Magnolia and Onward, Soldiers), a DJ, food trucks (Only Burger, DaisyCakes, Slippin Sliders and Klausies Pizza) plus 60 designers with a ton of handmade items up for grabs. Hope to see you there!

Happy Thursday all! I got to spend some much needed time in the studio last night creating some new necklaces. You know it’s not work when the hours just fly by then you realize it’s way past your bedtime! I’ve got a couple shows coming up and these beauties will be available either at Revolver’s 5th Anniversary party next Friday or The Durham Artwalk next weekend. Busy times ahead for Creativ*Bee but I’m pretty excited! My newest collection is inspired by all things involving nature, romance and sweet feminine colors. The mums outside my house are just one of my sources for inspiration!

I’m so in love with this necklace I made and it’s a one of a kind creation too in case you are shopping for that hard to find friend. There are some other goodies I didn’t have time to photograph and list in my store but I hope to add those this weekend! Wishing you a happy and creative day!

Happy Friday everyone! Tonight is First Friday here in Raleigh and I am so so excited to be a participating designer at the Second Annual LoPop Shop at Artspace! There are so many fabulous artists and designers that will be taking part in tonight’s event. Not only is it going to be a great time but the fact that this is located inside of Artspace is even more special! If you are not familiar with Artspace they are Raleigh’s heart and soul of working art studios located in downtown Raleigh. If you are out, please stop by Gallery 2 where the LoPop Shop will be held and say hello!

LoPop Shop will be featuring the work of:
ABAT Dragons, Elena Bodnar, Brandi Bowen (that’s me!), Cephalopod Ink, Hannah Costner, David Eichenberger, Haden Designs, Judah Ross, Knockabout, Kuri Kuri, Paula MacLeod, Nyla Elise, Old Broom Street, Yumi Okita, Plastic Flame Press, Mary Storms, Rhonda Strickland, Sweet T, a cakery, & Amy Yeager.

I’ll be posting pictures on Monday from the show so stay tuned!

Happy Wednesday all! I’m super excited about this week because I was accepted into the LoPop Shop that will be taking place inside of Raleigh’s Artspace this First Friday! If you are asking “What is LoPop Shop?” then that’s easy! LoPop Shop primarily highlights regional artists from North Carolina and is an opportunity to buy original works, shirts, posters, and more! I attended this annual show last year and they had some really fantastic artists and designers and I’m VERY EXCITED to be a part of this event!

Here are some of my art and jewelry designs from my company Creativ*Bee that I will selling at the event! If you see something you like let me know since some pieces are vintage and some are one of a kind!

Some of my new favorite earrings!
