I could give an inspiring speech, but I won't

Just a quick note to mention that Desert Sunset has been selected for the Carnivalesque Etsy poll! I am not sure why, exactly, and dang that peacock blue dress I'm up against is HOT, but I thought I would drop a line and let you vote for your favorite party item (*ahem*cough*ahem*)

Long time no post

I've been a little slow about my blogging, lately. I think I sort of ODed on craft show. And then I got caught up in myriad family and home issues and before I knew it life was happening. Luckily I have been able to keep up with my posting to Etsy (actually I had so much extra stock I had been hoarding before the craft show that I've been able to double my Etsy posting) so there are lots of new and exciting things to check out there. I've also been designing away and have great new plans for a cute nautical dress, a hooded wool vest, and some other projects TBA.

Anyway! Happy 75% off chocolate week (I just got two boxes of Russell Stover's for two bucks each. Sweet!)!

I'm back from my first craft show!
I met a few friendly faces, saw some interesting artwork, twinkled at the cute vendor across from me, and learned a lot about the whole craft show experience. All in all I am glad I did it, it was an experiment and a challenge and it crosses something off my list of New Year's resolutions!

Here you can see a picture of my table (and just the very edge of the clothing rack, to the right) with everything set out before the doors opened. I'm pretty happy with the way it looked, though I would love a bigger sign!

This Saturday!

Just a reminder to everyone that I Will Fly will have a booth at the IndieSacramento craft show this Saturday from 10am-3pm! They will give you cupcakes if you come, apparently, and how can you beat that?
As for me personally I will have new never before seen items for sale, plus discounts on stuff. that is right, ladies and gents, I am selling stockings for a sale price, some of my new items at less than the online price will be, AND I'll pay your sales taxes for you. Yep! I really will!
That, my friends, is a sweet dang deal.
It looks like the fashion show there were rumours of isn't going to happen. But just think of the opportunity that leaves you to eat cupcakes and drink cocoa and browse fabulous crafter's tables distraction free!

The entire Etsy shop is going to be on hiatus while I am at the craft show, and some things may sell there and never be seen again. Just a word to the wise ;)

See you there!
