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!

Almost time!

Mom and I are still gearing up for our craft show this weekend in Lamar, MO! Here's the most recent house we made! I love the scotty dog cookie cutter!

Woof Woof!

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!
