Great things on the horizon!

I am writing this blog with much excitement (I'm also sitting in a wheelchair...not because I have to but because it just happens to be the most comfortable chair in the room).

I am most pleased to announce that I will be taking place in The Wedding Pantry's 2nd Annual Craft Show, in Old Town Tustin, on Sunday, May 1st. The fair starts at noon and goes until 4 pm.

HOW IT BEGAN: Many, if not all, of you know that I have my very on shop on Etsy selling aprons. These are pretty much my pride and joy, and what I spend the majority of my free time creating. About a week and half ago, I got a convo through Etsy from The Wedding Pantry, asking if I would like to take part in this fair. Now, I have been contacted before to participate in other crafty things and it just didn't work out (mostly because it cost like $300 to be a vendor), so I was quite skeptical about this particular fair. However, upon many exchanged e-mails, a visit to the actual shop where it will be held, and a face-to-face meeting with the coordinator, I AM IN!!!!!! This will hopefully be a good opportunity for me to gain experience and confidence in this sort of thing (as I am quite nervous).

WHAT I'M SELLING:  I will of course be selling APRONS as my main items (I am currently furiously (and cost-effectively) trying to create as many as my pin-pricked fingers can handle). I have also discovered a new found love for POTHOLDERS!!! These gems are not only pretty simple to make, but I also get to used left over scraps of the fabrics I have most loved over the last year and a half. Pretty neat. And yet another brain storm I had while I was working was to make the fabric flowers so commonly seen on the aprons I make, and turn them into MAGNETS for a cutie fridge! Finally, I have found and am painting/decorating lovely CHALKBOARDS, as they are so trendy and chic at this point in time. I am continually thinking and formulating new ideas, so there may be more projects to behold in the next two weeks.

On a side note, the timing of this fair seems perfect because not only am I finished with the majority of my classes TOMORROW, but I also happen to be flying in from Nashville the day before. God's providence if you ask me :)

WHERE AND WHEN: Like I said, the craft fair is on Sunday, May 1st, from noon to 4 pm. It is going to be at The Wedding Pantry store, which is an adorable boutique for not only wedding supplies, but many other handcrafted goodies.
