New Banner!

I got a new banner for the ETSY shop! Isn't it wonderful! I enlisted the services of enchantedmemories. I highly recommend this ETSY seller who has a special gift with graphic design. She has a shop full of banners, avatars, ads, and total shop packages, and she is so good at custom work! I told her what I wanted and she came up with exactly what I had in my head! I am just so thrilled with this seller!

Please go visit enchantedmemories on ETSY with any of your graphic design needs! I promise she will not disappoint!

Harmony House

Look at the stunning job Mom did on this custom order! The woman wanted her family home painted on an ornament, and supplied a photo. Mom worked so hard on this and I think she did an awesome job! Look at the detail!

Want to order your own custom ornament? You can do so at Ornaments By Deb on ETSY!

I'm so proud of Mom! This is only her third treasury she's made and it's on the Front Page of ETSY! WOW! She's a great curator!

The Details Won Me Over

The true beauty lies in the details of the apron. And the fit is so good. Strawberryona takes your measurements to be sure your apron fits like it should! Each seam is expertly sewn, leaving you with a high-quality garment you can use for years and years!

Craft Show Blah

I look happy in these photos, but that just reflects my pride in my booth. Sales were a flop at the craft show this Saturday. I was sad about the turn out and even more disheartened about the lack of sales. People were interested, yes, and we received a lot of great feedback, but purse straps were held tightly.

At first I was afraid it was the birdhouses, or the prices, but after all the great comments and watching many other vendors go through the same thing, I realized it's just the current state of the economy. People are being very careful with their money and let's face it, a birdhouse doesn't fall in the "need" category for the average family!

I'm chalking this one up to experience and I feel good about what I've learned. I look forward to doing more craft shows because now I know I CAN do it! Next time we will choose one in a larger town, though.

Loaded up!

Tomorrow Mom and I are doing a Holiday Craft Show in Lamar, MO! We have the SUV all loaded up! We have our display screens strapped to the top, and the inside is full of birdhouses, ornaments, bags, giveaways, and our little overnight bags! What a load! We have a two hour drive to Lamar from Branson... I hope everything stays where it should!

I'll make a post Sunday or Monday after the show! Have a great weekend everyone!
