My Weekend June Arts & Craft Fair...

Wow, I survived the weekend!  22 hours in two days is incredibly long, but soooooo much fun!  I met so many wonderful sellers and customers.  Now the important question, do I still have a voice?  For the answer.... NOPE!  :)  The photo above is my table prior to the fair starting.  I love love love my new banner!   My daughter surprised me with it last week, is she just too awesome?!

This is a brand new venue for this craft fair.  I met the owner of the establishment, he is so into Arts & Crafts. 

Since my banner colors are mostly blue, pink & purple I thought I would use the colors throughout my display.  The photo below shows the corner glass shelf I picked up last weekend in a yard sale for $3.  Isn't it pretty with the fresh coat of Sweet Pea Pink?

And now my earring display.  I was so happy with how it turned out.  I found this adorable whimsical metal mesh mailbox at Goodwill last weekend during their 50% of sale, got it for $5, brought it home and gave it a pretty color of French Lilac.  To attach the earrings,  I one hole punched the earring cards, used satin ribbon woven through the metal mesh and attached the card by tying the ribbon on each with a bow.

I can't wait for July now!  Bring it on!  2nd Saturday & Sunday's Arts & Crafts is going to be my favorite time of the month.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my mini show of the craft fair.  

Have an awesome week!

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!

Feeling Like Summer...

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, could someone tell me when Winter ended and how I managed to miss Spring too? It's been ranging in the mid 70's this week in Phoenix. Oh, I wish we could have had a few more cooler days. It's too early. I actually had to turn my A/C on for a bit yesterday afternoon. Are you jealous? HA!

The tree in my backyard is so confused, poor baby lost his leaves mid-January and new leaves sprouted a week ago.

I have even found myself creating items in summer colors. Living in Arizona does give one reason to be confused.

Take my advice, if you cherish your sanity, don't move to Arizona. :)

Now you ask, why do I live here? I had no choice, being a Native of Arizona, there is no escape. I actually did try to move to Washington state a few years ago, sold my home, rented a moving truck, I was so ready. But it was not to happen. The BIG move landed me three miles down the road in a new home. I am doomed to be here, yuppers, do I sound resigned to that fact? Naw, nevvaa! *smile*

Maybe someday.... a girl can always dream!

Have an awesome day everyone...
