Many years ago, I was one of the officers of the SF\/Bay Area chapter of MECDA, the Middle Eastern Culture and Dance Association based out of Los Angeles, CA.\u00a0 In the decade that I was on the board of directors, I held a variety of positions from secretary to president, but never treasurer!\u00a0 \u00a0(My co-author & photographer Alisha Westerfeld<\/a> aka Zemira was always the best treasurer.)\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fabulous Fall Festival Founder<\/h2>\n

The Fabulous Fall Belly Dance Festival<\/a> is one of the legacies of my time with that organization!\u00a0 \u00a0When MECDA disbanded, a new group, The Bay Area Belly Dance & Music Association formed to step into the void.\u00a0 One of the MECDA events the new group decided to keep was the Fabulous Fall Festival!\u00a0 \u00a0It’s very cool to be one of the founders of an event that is still happening!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Studio Davina – Return to Vending<\/h2>\n

This Saturday, the Fabulous Fall Belly Dance Festival returns after the hiatus of 2020.\u00a0 This is one of the biggest belly dance events held in the Silicon Valley area of California.\u00a0 It was the last event I did in 2019, and my return to vending in 2021!\u00a0 \u00a0My mission is to go and have a really good time watching some of the top dancers in the Bay Area take the stage.\u00a0 To see the lineup click on the flyer to visit the site and see the final line-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saroyan Vintage Coin Earrings<\/h2>\n

This week, I’m making another small batch of handcrafted earrings.\u00a0 I still can’t believe that I put up the first batch of Saroyan Vintage Assiut Earrings onto my Etsy store on a Friday, and by Sunday evening they were sold out!\u00a0 \u00a0I’ve never had such support for a jewelry collection before!\u00a0 This week’s batch will first go to the event, and, if any are leftover, will get uploaded to Etsy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Assiut Masks<\/h2>\n

Here in the Bay Area, mask-wearing is considered a vital part of a healthy daily life.\u00a0 I’ve had many requests for more assiut masks, and so this week, I’ll be finishing up a small batch of assiut masks as well.\u00a0 The style has changed a bit since my big push to use up my scraps in 2021.\u00a0 The scraps have gotten, well, smaller, so the masks are a bit more narrow from side to side, making them lighter weight and cooler to wear.\u00a0 In addition, they also have more seams, as I piece them together to maximize the metal embroidery.\u00a0 \u00a0If there are some left after the show, they will join the earrings on Etsy.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve got a lot of things to make to take to the show – I better get working!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

See ya Saturday at the Fall Festival!<\/span><\/em><\/strong>
