Preparing for a Holiday Craft Fair

Last month, I decided to participate in one of our local Holiday Craft Fairs since I have been enjoying making my yo yo doilies. I will be sharing a table with one of my dear lady friends, who makes beautiful jewelry.
The other day, I went to Joann's to find fabric to make Fall/Thanksgiving and Christimas yo yo doilies. Whenever I go to Joann's, it takes me nearly an hour just to make a decision on fabric for any project I do, but this time was very easy, thank the Lord!
I sure hope I can get at least 40 yo yo doiles done in time!! But I know they will turn out pretty with these fabrics! I'm in love with this fabric!!

Good luck at the fair! That green fabric is a good one for Christmas.

Also wanted to say that while looking in a local consignment shop yesterday I found a 1991 Bessie Gutmann calendar! I enjoy her artwork too.

My Future Birthday Gift

T here’s a great advantage for working at an Antique Mall!! Of course one of those reasons is that you get to enjoy all those beautiful antiques. Another is that you get a employee discount. Well, the one advantages I love the most is that you get to pick your birthday gift, and everyone pitches in to get it for you! Just the other day I was making an inventory for someone who was looking for Beatrix Potter figurines. There’s a lot of those, by the way! They are soooo cute! Anyway, while I was writing down the info of one I found, something caught my eye. Do you want to see it?!! It was a Johnson Brothers “Old British Castles” Teapot. I picked it up “ooing” and “awing” over it, and found a price that seemed too good to be true!! Well, I had to put it down, knowing I could never get it, even if it was a great price. I went on with what I was doing, but I just had to show my co-workers my recent “love”. As I was doing so, my co-worker asked me when my birthday was. I told he

Craft Fair and other news

W ell, it’s been a busy 2 months, trying to get all those yo yo doiles I wanted to get done before the craft fair.  Phew!  I didn’t get all of them done, but found out it was okay because it was not a busy craft fair. D ue to the mis-advertising done by our local newspaper, and 2 BIG football games that weekend, it was slow.  But even if I didn’t get to sell as much as I wanted…which I was disappointed…it turned out to be a great time with my friend, Lisa.  We spent some quality time talking about EVERYTHING under the sun, plus just talking about what God’s been doing in our lives.  Also, we got to know some of the other vendors and enjoy their booths during breaks.  I sure wish I got photos of their booths…but here are my favorites: ~ Angelica Herbs :  www.angelicaherbsoforegon.com (this site it coming soon) ~ Cupboard of Blessings :  www.cupboardofblessings.com   ~ Paupers Candles :  www.pauperscandles.com ~ Candle, Bath and Spa :  www.candlebathandspa.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~
