Festival of The Arts and a New Friend

Turner Valley sure has great support for artists, artisans and crafters. I was really impressed with the organization and the turnout. Making it all better was the fact that Sarah of Bubblegum Sass (from the Etsy Alberta Street Team) was right there, with her helpful hubby to keep me company.

In other news, I was lucky enough to finagle a trade, which scored me this perfect bag for all my crochet gear! It reminds me of Gumpy Bears cute little Care Bear belly!

I feel like I'm finally back to normal life. This weekend was busy at the Edgemont Craft Sale and a last minute table at the AP Village Craft and Bake sale. Both were great successes! I had a ton of friends and some family stop by, and I was so overwhelmed with all the love. Awww...sappy moment :)

I learned a lot about what people like most and what sells fast. I also learned that I hate making some things in big quantities! I am considering a booth at Mommylicious, Naturally, and the Lilac Festival...big fees and big attendance! It's a tough leap to take!

A few tips on the table:

I got these awesome boxes at Jysk for $50 or so. They helped me to create levels which is so important with small items!

Tablecloths can be crazy expensive ($70 at Home Outfitters!!) but I found some great deals on nice ones at Homesense and Superstore.

My easel was only $20 at Ikea (well...Daniel's easel) and was great for posting my specials. I also found those great frames which I used as signs for .99 cents! Woot!

Since I sell kid's stuff, I had a couple of wooden toys on a small carpet. That way, kids were happy and mom could take her time looking!

3 Cups of Coffee and No Kitchen Table...

My first craft sale is upon me.
Excited.
Freaking out.
Sewing frenzy.
Sore Back.
Three cups of coffee and kitchen table piled high.

Thank goodness my table at the craft sale is bigger than my kitchen table!!! Come find me on Saturday November 20 at the Edgemont Community Center from 10-3. I promise my table will look prettier!
