Last Craft Show of the Year (with pix)
I did a small craft show in Brooktondale this weekend. Small, very small, it was only about 16 vendors selling everything from photographs to cherry pit pillows, handsewn bags and scarves, homemade pies and jewelry, wreaths and rugs.
And soap :D

It was the smallest show I have ever done. Most purchases were made by other vendors. My biggest seller by far was Whipped Shea. That stuff is great. The one item I thought would really sell only sold one. :(
I sat by a woman about my age with a small girl, about 3 1/2 years old who was so much like my niece it made my heart ache (my niece is in Idaho and I see her only about once a year). We traded a birdfeeder she was selling for some lip balm. Her mom was selling rugs that were crocheted fabric. They were so pretty I wanted one, but the colors were so light and bright I was afraid the second they came into the house they would be trashed. She wanted to bring her daughter out to see the farm. My niece Maggie is still talking about her visit so I know this little girl will enjoy it too.
I also sat by another woman who wove rag rugs on a loom. These were excellent as well. We chatted a lot about knitting.
There was a lot of knitting going on there. I was not the only one to finish a scarf as I waited for customers. I chatted with a woman who was there selling some beautiful scarves and hats. I was eager to show off the scarf I had made the morning before in a deep red chenille.
I also met a Pampered Chef, uh, agent? Is that what they are? Anyway I grabbed a catalog and immediately saw a couple things I never knew I needed. ;-) She's local so I will look her up after the holidays. My cupboards are crowded so I can't go too crazy.
There was an article about it in today's paper. I was interviewed but didn't make the final cut for the article. Maybe next time ;-)
