Craft Show Pictures

Pictures from the show on Saturday in Caledonia State Park! It was a rain free day with just a touch of humidity and lots of sunshine! The crowd was down a little from last year which wasn't a good thing for the afternoon hours but I had a nice relaxing day once we were all set up! I had 3 of my sisters and a niece with me so we had a great visit! I now know what I need to work on for the next show which is the Lititz Rotary Club in Lititz, PA! Here a few pictures I took of my wares!Love this window standing cupboard my hubsand made!

2 weeks until the Caledonia State Park Craft Show...

Happy Summer everyone!!!
The Caledonia State Park Craft Show will be held July 9th in Fayetteville, PA! I still have lots to finish up but just had to share this primitive display piece my hubby helped me build for my new blackened beeswax ornies! I had this piece of old picket fence and Jeff made a box with some old cedar pieces and put dividers in it so I can line the bagged ornies up. Great way to keep them all organized in one place and have the samples hanging for all to see!

Have a great day!!!!! I'm back to work!

New Summer items!

Good morning my blogging friends! I'm busy creating inventory for my first show which will be Saturday, July 9th at Caledonia State Park in Fayetteville, PA! Here are two new "treasures" I've been working on using a pattern by Kentucky Primitives! Love the little mice and watermelon's for Summer decorating! Check out the "Swingin' cats wool tweed pants and his little friend with the hanky scarf! And how about those little watermelon floats with 3 of the sweetest little mice hitching a ride! I did make one extra of each of these to add to my Etsy shop for my online friends! The watermelon float will not be added until tomorrow because I see I forgot to add their banner.......we can't have a missing piece can we?!?!


Last but not the least I will be posting this "Patriotic Mouse" in a stocking on Saturday, June 4th! This is a very special piece for me because my mom and I designed it and created it together! The pattern was featured in the Mercantile Gathering Summer 2011 issue which makes it even more special! Plus.... I have entered it in the OFG Flag Day Challenge which will begin Saturday, June 4th so be sure to stop by the OFG blog and place a vote!
Until next time..............Have a great day!

New Cell Phone Necklaces!

I managed to finish some new cell phone necklaces for my last show which was on Saturday!

The weather was a little chilly, breezy and cloudy for the day but no rain!!! We had it all this year! The crowd was good and sales were about the same so I was a happy camper!

I actually took the time to walk around and check out the other booths! I think we were the only "handmade" primitive spot there and I had some nice compliments!

The week before I did a really small show at a Fall Gathering in Kings Gap State Park. It had lots of fun things for kids to do and in a really pretty location at the top of a small mountain.... actually is was a 4 mile winding narrow road to get to the top.

You could tell the people coming into my booth were not familiar with primitives. This one couple came into my booth and I heard the husband say to his wife....while looking at one of my wooden pieces....... "wow that must really be old". He turned around and asked me how old it was............ a little dumb founded I said "Awwww... two months" I then told him it was a reproduction, newly made by my husband and I painted it to look old! He was shocked and said I did a good job! LOL He was referring to the white one hanging here.

Hope all have enjoyed the short Fall season........at least here in PA it feels like winter already!!! I'm not looking forward to my son's football game on Saturday in the cold and damp weather! At least it is at 1:30 in the afternoon and not in the evening! Stay warm.........until next time!!! Have a great day!

Craft Show Pictures!

Here are a couple of pictures from the show on Saturday!

Around 3:00 we received word that 60 mile an hour winds and hail were headed out way! Yikes!!! That was scary! Needless to say we started packing up real quick!!! We were prepared so nothing was lost but it is such a pain packing up in the rain! It poured down rain for the next 2 hours but fortunately we did not have the wind and hail! Thank goodness someone was watching out for us! As we put the last piece of props into the truck and shut the tailgate the sun popped out!

Finishing up and packing up for a Show on Saturday!

Bright and early on Saturday morning my sister and I will be setting up for a show! It is being held at Caledonia State Park in Fayettville, PA. Located between Gettysburg and Chambersburg on Route 30! Here are some of my new "treasures" I will be selling!

Mini Cupboards using a print by Susan Burd for the door and a Box to hold CD's which I handpainted using a Kim Klassen design.

Sure hope this beautiful weather we have been having sticks around for Saturday!
