Gentry Jewelry Colorado Expansion

Donation protected
Hello! My name is Jennifer Van Swol, I have been a silversmith for the last 10 years and I am looking to further expand my very small business. I work out of Renaissance Festivals all over the country, at this time I own one of the five shows I do, I work for the master silversmith I apprenticed under at three shows, and am currently looking for a fifth show to do regularly. I am VERY slowly buying shows from the master silversmith as he is ready to retire from them.

The booth that is currently up for sale is at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. After two years of trying for bank loans I have failed to come up with the money needed and it's now crunch time. The booth as a whole is $20,000 and if I can come up with $10,000-15,000 by the end of July then the sale process can commence, if not the booth goes up for sale to the general populous.

When I started Gentry Jewelry 6 years ago I borrowed the $25,000 needed from a number of friends and family who were willing to take a chance on me, they were all paid back within 3 years. Please take a much safer chance and help an up and coming artist expand her business. Thank you for all of your support, every little bit helps!
