The Craft Show ~ Fallfest

Here is our booth at the Fallfest. We got there early, around 7:30 am. You can see the pretty garland hanging on the edge of the tent.

This was my table of goodies. Julia made the adorable crocheted donuts and we decided to put them with the rest of the crocheted items.


Julia's jewelry table is eye-catching and pretty! It all looked so professional that people were stunned that this was done all by her. They often asked how long she had been displaying at shows and how many shows she did a year.





Overall, it was a good day. We did manage to sell some things. Other sellers said that they were slow, too. The good news was the weather. Rain had been forecasted for the whole day but the forecasters were wrong! Yay! Sunshine and blue skies ruled the day! It was quite warm, temps in the 90's. Except for the loud country music, the day went smoothly. I probably won't sell there again but it was a good experience and it was nice to see friends from town.
We will be posting many items on Etsy so if you were disappointed that you didn't make it to the Fallfest, just check out our Etsy shop and you can still buy these cuties! Just give us a few days to take the pictures and get them posted. You can find the shop here.


Blessings,

Fallfest Craft Items and a DIY

Our small town has a Fallfest every October. This year Julia and I are having a booth and hoping to sell a lot of our crafty things.

Here are the beaded watches that Julia designed and I put together. (Teamwork, it's a beautiful thing...)


I crocheted these earrings using embroidery floss or crochet thread. If you want the pattern, just let me know and I'll be happy to pass it along.
These are hot pads or potholders (depending where you live :). They are made from cotton yarn using two strands together and a large hook. Very fast and easy.
This item is used almost daily in our house. These are heating pads made from flannel material and corn. The corn holds the heat longer than rice or flax and smells nice, too.
Not pictured here is homemade peach jam that I plan to sell at the show.
Julia is selling her beautiful jewelry with lots of new designs and popular colors.
If you live nearby and want more info, just leave and comment and I will get it to you.
Hoping you have a productive day!
