Craft Fair!

This weekend, I set up shop at my very first craft fair!  It was a new experience for me, and while it was small with not a lot of traffic, we did sell enough to make back the cost of our booth plus a little more AND got some great experience.

I had the pleasure of my daughter, Shannon, and my niece, Maddie's company for the afternoon and they were a BIG help.  (Shannon also goes to school in the area, so a lot of her little friends came to visit and kept us entertained ;-)

Maddison also came with her own items for sale, some very clever duck tape pens, pencils, purses and wallets.  She did a great job and sold quite a few!  She also taught Shannon to make them and Shann was able to sell one of her own!

Some of the items I had for sale were these brooches

Magnets

A few necklaces

Earrings

Bracelets (both of the mermaid one's sold and were a huge hit!)

Also for sale were the cowls and hats pictured in the first photo.

We had lots of fun, and are looking forward to doing a few more craft fairs over the holiday season!

How Can You Miss Me if I Won't Go Away??

Hello friends <3  Just popping in with a little update on how things are going!

I have my very first craft fair coming up this Saturday.  I'm SUPER excited and I hope all goes well, because I'd really like to participate in a few more over the holidays.

I've been working on crocheted cowls in various colors like this one:

I plan on making some out of more luxurious materials to sell in my Etsy shop as well (with my fall launch, which I am really looking forward to!)

I'm also going to be adding a few felted hats and berets like the one shown below.

..and speaking of my fall launch, I will have some lovely models (in the form of my daughter and her best friend) to help me out with my photo shoot :)

And one final bit of information..I'm going to be attending this AMAZING exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in October about Hats!  I especially love this painters palette one by Dior.

I'll be sure to do a post with plenty of pictures :)

Hugs and Smooches,
