I popped into Ikea yesterday to scope out living room chairs. I left without the chairs, but look at all these holiday goodies I picked up. I had to stop myself from buying out the entire Christmas section of the store. Seriously, there is so much holiday cuteness there this year. I plan to use these on my dining room table. Can't you see them filled with tiny glass ornaments? I couldn't resist these little...
Holiday Preview
November 12, 2015 / BY Okio B Designs
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!

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. The basket was a garage sale find from a couple of years ago...

I also picked up these peppermint candles. These will...

I'm busy working on projects for an upcoming craft fair. I don't want to bore anyone with 50,000 posts on Xmas pieces when it isn't even Halloween yet. Just letting you know, I'm still here. Creating, dreaming and prepping. Jeanine ...
What I've Been Working On

As I mentioned a few posts back, I'm doing a craft show next month. I haven't done one in over 5 years. I'm nervous and excited all at once. 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...
