Happy to say I survived the craft fair last weekend. It was a great day. I sold a bunch of items and met some lovely people. Now that it's over, I'm back to business adding Christmas items to my Etsy. (Xmas stickers) At first I felt guilty listing Christmas items before Halloween, but given the way Target, Marshall's, Home Goods, etc. look, I figure if they can do it, so can I!

Has it really been over a week since I last posted?! I've been so busy trying to get things ready for the craft fair this weekend. I am working on a mock table as we speak, so I can have an idea of how I want to place things. I thought this was a cute way to display my French clothes pins.

Thankfully, it has really helped to get my creative juices flowing again. Here are a few things I whipped up over the weekend. I think these little wood spoons are my favorite. They are food-safe and measure about 4 inches. I did some with Noel and...
My local church thrift store has been a little hit or miss lately, so I was super excited with my latest haul! I picked up three Mason jars which I'll be using to create more faux Mercury-glass. I was intrigued by this book. It's from the 1950s/60s and I'm always amazed at what kids did back them. My boys get a kick out of these books too. They don't understand a world without an...
