Spring Fling!

It's been a while since I've done a spring craft show,

but we are trying a new show in our little town.

It will be held this Saturday, May 3.

Here's a quick preview:

A few new mini purse frames.

Here's a new size for my custom made barnwood frames.

The interior dimension is approximately 3" x 8"

I took these pictures before I had the designs glued in place, but you can get the idea....

Hometown Craft Bazaar 2010

We always enjoy our home town craft bazaar, and this little community continues to support my work very generously.

It was a great day, and I was happy with the sale.

Craft Fair Season Begins

Craft Bazaar. December 5-6

We had an enjoyable and successful craft fair this weekend. My sister

decided she was going to get some pictures, so here they are...

I decided to put these glass frames on sale, and we sold several.

We came early Saturday morning to set up the "sale box" and
generally straighten up the tables. I am trying to remove the
fingerprint smudges from some of the frames.


The bazaar was open Friday evening from 4-8, and we
were busy most of the time. It was fun! There were some
quiet times during the day Satureday, but it still turned
out to be a good day for sales.




Remember the "last minute" projects from the previous post?
Well, I completed 14 framed designs that day, and sold 12 of
them at this craft bazaar! I was glad I followed through on that impulse!

Touchables

We have noticed that certain frames tempt shoppers to touch

them! At the last craft fair, these were the "most touched"!

This bergundy frame has super wide grosgrain ribbon fabric.
This frame has brown fabric with stitched embroidery.

This is a wood frame with grooves. We weren't quite
sure why it was one of the touchables....

This frame was sold last season, but it was often touched before

it sold. It is white ceramic, and the blue flowers are painted on.

(Can you tell one of the things we enjoy about craft fairs is observing the people?!)

First Fall Craft Show 2008

We are off to a good start on the fall craft shows! We enjoy this one, partly because it is pretty close to home. The weekend went well for us, and we enjoyed it.

Here is my main PR lady, my sister. She does a great job of arranging and restocking the notecards and bookmarks.

In the background of this picture, there is a white covered cart

and some red/white enamel ware. They were on the table

of our neighbor, the "Pantry Peddler....a taste of the prairie"

We really enjoyed getting acquainted with Bekki,

and bought her cookbook, along with

mixes for borscht, and a few other things...

here is the site for Bekki and her sister.

p.s . another of our craft fair friends, Sonja of "Sonja's Old-

Fashioned Delicacies" will be featured in the Dec/Jan issue

of Country Woman. She told us they have a circulation of

2 million, so is trying to get all the bugs worked out of her

website before the crowds hit it. Here is her site.

and the sunset on our way home...

Home town "spring" bazaar

We had a good day at our spring craft bazaar in our little town. A spring storm came through so there are some snowflakes showing in front of the yellow "spring bazaar" banner. If you click on the picture to enlarge, you can see it was snowing!
