Spring Sampler

Thank you everyone!  I was surprised and touched by the outpouring of support we received.   We had the best show ever and I came home with a much lighter load.   I loved the booth this year.   I was pleasantly taken aback by how colorful the booth became as I filled it.  I certainly needed a breath of fresh air after a long winter of trudging through snow and mud and cold to spend my time next door :-)

and so now I am moving on ahead to creating for the next show and coming seasons.... 

a peek of our handmades for spring.

  Next year we have already been granted a larger booth.  Yay!

Deerfield Spring Sampler

What a wonderful show we had! 

 

It was a tremendous show for us again this year and I have so many people to thank.... I am extremely greatful for everyone who made it to the show and I do hope you all will cherish the things you purchased for many many years. 

 

It is always the best experience to create one of a kind items for our collectors, and we work hard to put on a first class showing for all of you.  This year's creations mean even more to me because I have done so many of them under the watchful eye of my mom..... It has made our nights so much more pleasant.   

 

And during the crunch time right before the show I find that is when the magic happens!  It is so nice when the marriage of unfinished objects turns into something really sweet, like my little bee girl...

 

or my other little bee girl.... she was fun!

 

 

the little yellow mohair chickies made everyone smile, and they flew the coop right away.

 

 

I've had this basket forever, and bunny was created for it.  He looks right at home.

 

a large bottle doll angel..  a newer item, and fun to make. 

 

I enjoy working with an assortment of materials.... keeps it interesting and fun.

 

One of my treasured baskets.... I do not usually part with my collection, but am comforted knowing it went home with a dear lady.

 

Some Spanish moss and greenery softened things up a bit...

 

 

a crowded table before the doors opened, but it was only that way for a few moments....

 

and so....

 

until we do it again......  hope that was fun for you! 

Deerfield Spring Sampler Craft Fair

Thank you, thank you everyone who came out to see us.... It is such a tremendous rush to see you all, always, but even more so after being cooped up and enduring this harsh winter. I have come home with a very happy heart tonight.

It was an exhilarating but exhausting day. One more day to go 10 - 5 Sunday.. My  friend Linda and my son Josh were wonderful... such a tremendous help. I am so greatful for their support! It was a bit overwhelming at times even with their help! We were crushed with customers as soon as the doors opened and it continued like that for hours.

I still have some great pieces left, but it's definately thinned out a lot which will make packing to go home so much easier! That's a beautiful thing!

I've taken a few orders for things that were snatched up, and am willing to do a few more before starting in the gardens.   Also I have some more Easter things at Crossroad in Somers, Ct. 

A couple of booth pictures.... not the best, but whatever. I spent a bit too much time gabbing and forgot to take pictures til the doors opened. I had to move quickly at that point!

I jam-pack my booth for a show like this, because there is no way to refill once it gets busy.  If it looks cluttery that's why.  Almost everything I made for the show is out.... 

Well off to be a couch potato for a little while!

Hope you'll Bee there :-) We can be found in booth 106.

 

I've been working on prim dolls, birds and bunnies, feedsacks, bees and flowers for the show.
We're going to be blessed with a warm sunny weekend, after a snowstorm during setup. Hopefully this will be the last snow.... we've all had enough already!

Olde Eggs Printable Label Freebie

just a little something for your Easter decorating....
I'm using this design for Easter bucket labels and muslin sacks for eggs. Thought I'd share it with you so you can make some too!
Enjoy!

in the meantime I've been working hard on wholesale orders and preparing for Deerfield Spring Sampler, just around the corner.... Can't wait for the show.   I will also bring another batch of things to Crossroads this week.  

 Should you need tickets for Deerfield I have some extras, let me know!
