Artisan Boutique this Saturday!

I'm so excited about the Artisan Boutique this Saturday!  It is the 5th Annual event, and this year we are including live music and free treats!

Bring the whole family and enjoy amazing creations by local artists!  :)  Here is the flyer with all the details.  I hope you can make it! Please post if you need directions or have any questions.  Make sure to include your email so I can contact you directly.

Knitted Items

Hey Everyone!
The craft fair went AMAZINGLY well.  Mom and I each made out with a respectable day's total and we had a fabulous time.  We had 133 people come through the door (I had my counter) and everyone left with big smiles on their faces, tummies full of good food, and Christmas gifts in arms.

Don't worry if you missed out!  We will both be participating in another craft fair on December 5th at my church in Mountlake Terrace.  More details on that coming soon

As promised, I took photos of my knitting table at the bazaar, and have those to share with you now.  Some have asked if I plan to put my left over items in my etsy shop or up for sale on my blog.  It all depends on what is left after my next show.  If there is something you see that you want NOW, just email me and we can work out shipping details.  Don't wait or someone else might buy your goodies!

Here's my packed knitting table!  I only had to box up half of it to take home.  :)

Ear Warmer Headbands:

Fingerless Mittens:

Moebius Basket:

I also had baby hats, baby socks, adult socks, long scarves, baby sweaters, kid hats, adult hats, and a knitted snake.  :)

Craft Fair TOMORROW!!!

Hello Friends!

Well tomorrow is the big day!  It's my craft fair with my mom and we couldn't be more excited!  We spent all day setting up and cooking, and we are just about set for tomorrow.  Here is a sneak peek at all of our great merchandise...

A view from the entry (forgive the unpainted walls/unfinished floors - my parent's house is still in the process of being remodeled.  It is going to be AMAZING when it is finished!!!)

My mom's goodies:  glass pendants and earrings, silver jewelry, hand made soaps, fused glass plant stakes, hanging vases, soap dishes, wall hangings, and frames.  She also makes the glass ornaments on the tree!

Here's Hank the love sponge, and one of mom's fur babies.  Molly (the chocolate lab) was taking a nap.  Doggies will be outside, but available for petting.  :)

And here is my side of the room:

I have so many great things to sell too!  These include: 6x6 Accordion Mini-Albums (thanks to Joanne Walton for the inspiration for these), Cupcake photo holders, cards of all varieties, Treasure Boxes, Teacher Treat Boxes, Banks, Dry Erase Board frames, Clippy Boards, Scrapbook kits, 3 ring binder mini albums, and more.

I also have a WHOLE table of knitting - but alas, did not get any pictures as it was dark by the time that side of the room was set up.  I'll have to photograph that part tomorrow.  :)

If you want to come, and you live in the Seattle area, please email me at nonapearl@firebin.net and I will send you the address.  Hours are 10 am - 4 pm, and there will be free refreshments as well.  Hope you can make it!

Teacher Treat Boxes!

Here is another fun thing I'm selling at my upcoming craft fair.  Teacher Treat boxes!

These feature CTMH's 9x9 memory boxes with magnetic closure lids.  I've covered the boxes, and inside will have a matching gift card holder.  Also, I spoke with several of my teacher friends and compiled a list of items they would like to receive from their students as gifts.  A list will be included in the box, so people can go shopping and fill up the box with treats for the teacher!  And later, the teacher can use the boxes in his/her class to hold treats for the students, or a private candy (or aspirin) stash.  LOL!

This set of boxes uses the Twitterpated papers, matching dimensional buttons, and color ready stickers.  The stamp is from TGF (colored with my copics)

Here is a second box using the Silhouette papers, felt flowers (not CTMH) and the TGF stamp.

Cupcakes!

I've been working hard to get ready for my upcoming craft fair in November.

Yesterday I made cupcake photo holders!  Each one is a little different, but they all are deliciously cute.  My goal is to make another 12 before the big day.  Hopefully they will be big sellers!

Here's a close up look at each one.  :)
