Preparing for a Craft Fair...

I feel like I have been neglecting my Blog and ignoring my faithful readers. So I am here to apologize and let you know what is keeping me from my Blog this week.

I have been crazy busy with preparing for an exciting craft fair this coming weekend. This is the first of what we hope will become a monthly special event.

For this event I have made a new item not currently offered in my Etsy or ArtFire online selling venues.  What doesn't sell, will be offered next week.  But guess what?  I ain't gonna tell ya what!  HA!  So you will just have to stay tuned and hope they don't sell just to see what I made.  :)

But to be honest, they are as cute as can be (don't you just wish you knew what they were?), so I am wishing and hoping they sell like you know what!

I have a new booth banner, YAY! and I have new display stands.  My main focus colors of the booth are pink and purple, to be exact, Sweet Pea and French Lilac,  ohhlala!

I promise to post photos next week and let you all know how it went!  Keep your fingers *crossed* I sell out!  

I don't know that I will have time to post again before the fair, so here is wishing everyone a spectacular rest of the week and an awesome weekend!

Romance and Brides...

I just realized that we are at the end of April and probably one of the most romantic times of the year is fast approaching.  June romance and lovely brides.  What a gorgeous combination! 

Throughout the years I have offered several items catering to brides, but my favorites are my corset pouches, these pouches can be done with the brides colors, whether her dress or her bridesmaid's, or I can even use a swatch of fabric from the dresses.

This corset pouch I created using a lovely white brocade and trimmed in white satin.

This lovely was made using the brides colors.  Her gown was a gorgeous navy blue and white. 

Another variation on the brides dress.  Her dress was a wonderful ivory satin.

The combinations are endless!

After the wedding she can fill the corset pouch bag with potpourri and hang it from a dresser drawer, keep her delicate jewelry in the pouch and so many other wonderful uses.

And for the wedding, bookmark favors for the guest. These delicate beauties always receive oohs and ahhs...

These beauties are done in snow white, but again they are gorgeous in any color.

Below I created them in mauve, aren't they just as gorgeous?

Well, I hope I have gotten you all in a romantic mood.  Did it work?  :)




Leave me a comment and let me know....

Have a wonderful day!
