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!

The Details Won Me Over
Don't you just adore my splendid vendor apron!? I do too! It was made by the talented team of ETSY's Strawberryona! Kathy and her friend are so talented. 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!
If you're in need of a cute vendor apron, hand crafted crocheted goodies, or holiday ornaments, head on over to Strawberryona today!

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!

Fill this heart with love... and Starbucks gift cards!
Mom and I spent the day cutting and weaving together Danish Hearts for the ornament shop. We're using some of the prettiest seasonal paper I've ever seen. These are turning out just gorgeous!
Perfect for holding candy, flowers, a small gift, or even a gift card!

Trying my hand at a new skill...
Today I painted some little reindeer ornaments! I'm a little unsure about them, but listed them on ETSY in the ornament shop anyway. I hope someone likes them!
I like seeing my initials on the bottom. Makes me feel proud!

Candy Cane Ornament Stand
Continuing to prepare for our craft show. Here is one of Mom's ornament display racks! Candy cane cute! We just have to finish painting it and staple garland around the sign. I think it will look so cute with Mom's creations on it!
Practice, Practice
Mom and I are doing our very first craft show in a week and a half! We made this folding screen to hang our birdhouses on! Isn't it great? I was practicing this morning so I could get a feel of what it will be like at the show. I'm really pleased and excited. We'll post actual photos of the show after it's over. Wish us luck on November 14th!

Have you ever?
I am just so proud of these shabby chic pink birdhouses! Part bubble gum- part goth- all original! I love the creating process! We had these old, ugly gold frames and I could just see the finished product in my head! I told Mom "we need pink birdhouses!" and she thought I was a little crazy! But I think they turned out super cute! What do you think?

When does the holiday season really begin?
Well Halloween has come and gone, and now the sweet feeling of the Winter Holiday Season is drifting into existence. So when do the holidays begin to seem "real" to you? For me it is today, the first of November. Tomorrow I'll take down the bats and pumpkins, and put up more mums and leaves. The black cat on the piano will be replaced with my porcelain pilgrims and the air will turn colder with each passing day. Are you ready? I truly am!
Enjoy these delish holiday goodies from Times And Chimes and Ornaments By Deb;
