Give-Away Samples!

Just a sample of the great items I'll be giving away at this year's open house!

Open House 2013

Coming up this weekend - the Maple Syrup Festival, here in charming Wakarusa! Always a good time for everyone! Free popcorn, great concerts, fun amusements, parade! Be sure to come see me, and pray hard that the weather is nice this year!! =}

Easter Beauties - Satin Rosettes

Some of my favorites for Easter, and any time a dressy bow is called for - the satin rosette:

Usually make these without leaves, but doesn't it give it such a realistic flair?

This one is layered with a sheer ribbon, and backed up with leaves.  

 

 And, just because smaller is always cuter - the mini version! =) Gonna have to get a model to show these off, because I really want you to see how adorable they are! =)

March Special

This month is "hostess month!" Host a party this month, and get to jump 2 brackets higher in the hostess benefits! Schedule a party for another month, and jump 1 bracket! Call, e-mail, FB message, whatever - just get ahold of me and get your party booked! =)

Last Chance Craft Fair

I can hardly believe it, but tomorrow is my last craft fair for the season. I feel like I finally have everything smoothed out and situated just right, and now it's about over. sigh.

Osolo Elementary School on the north side of Elkhart is where I'll be. We'll be open from 8-2. This is my favorite craft show - there's nearly 200 vendors, and everything must be handmade! Amazing!

 

These pictures are showing a couple new things I whipped up recently. =) Felt poinsettias - so perfect for a touch of holiday charm - and would work just as well in Mom's hair as baby's! And miniature satin rosettes - because everything is better in miniature! =)

 Of course, if you can't make it to the craft fairs, you can always call, e-mail or facebook me to order what you need for the holidays. But, I really love seeing my customers - hope to see you there!

New Venue for This Saturday (11-10)

After a day of playing phone tag and exchanging e-mails, I have a new venue for this Saturday (November 10). The Moran Elementary School sent an e-mail last night, saying they had to cancel their craft fair because of not enough vendors. So I was scrambling a bit today, trying to come up with another one that had room, was close enough, and sounded like it would be worth-while. =}

I think I've got it! I'm going to be at the "Winder Wonderland Craft Show and Quarter Auction" in Winona Lake. It will be in the Rodeheaver Auditorium, from 8-3. Winona Lake is a lovely area, so I'm looking forward to it!

See you there! =)

Craft fair - the Feast banquet hall

Here's the give-away basket for tomorrow's craft fair at "the Feast" banquet hall. Just a few miles south of South Bend on the corner of US 31 and SR 4 (Pierce Rd.) From 9-3. Hope to see you there!

Craft Fair Season is Here!

Hooray! Craft fair season is here! I love this time of year, even though I spend hours and hours getting ready! It's always so much fun to be a vendor and meeting customers old and new! Be sure to check out my schedule on the right side bar for the dates and places. I hope to see everyone at least once!! =D

 

Here's a sampling of what's hanging out in my craft room, waiting for the big days:

Mini rufflies

 

Small pinwheels

 

These are the staples, but I will also have plenty of specialty bows too - including some very exciting new items!

 

Can't wait to show them to you!
