Around 3:00 today I went up town to the little beauty shop to set up for the craft show tomorrow! If even one apron sells it will be a shock. Seriously!
Not much new here to show you. I did get faces put on these few dolls and managed to get everything tagged.
Finished this apron
and this one
Hope somebody takes a liking to and buys the green doll. She has traveled with me to many a craft show. Obviously, nobody likes the green.
Seven bag holders made to sell.
I feel a little disappointed in the set up. The bonnets and aprons and even the dolls looked dull and out of place. Maybe it was the lighting, or maybe I'm sick of calico. Maybe I'm sick of bonnets and aprons. Something bright and cheerful for Christmas would have been better.
Change! I need a change! A new craft to work on...even knocking a wall out of the cabin and putting in a big picture window sounds good right now. I need light and sunshine and cheerful fabric. Hope I don't up and run away.
I will leave you with this shot of what looks like a giant lint ball. Actually this is sweet Eli watching over the yard from the cot on the back porch.
The craft show is from 10:00 to 5:00 tomorrow and Saturday. Hopefully, I will come back and post about how great it was, and talk about all the spending money I pocketed. Thank you! :)
Love,
Henny

Good Luck with the sale! I hope you sell everything! I know the feeling...I need me some sunshine too! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I've got a couple hours before leaving this morning. I hope everything sells!
DeleteSounds like you have the November Blahs. They're always waiting for a chance to get me. Some years they succeed and that's no fun at all. I hope you sell several items and are encouraged.
ReplyDeleteI sure do have the November Blahs. Usually November is a good month for me. It may be these days of rain and wet packed leaves and no sunshine. Thank you Granny Marigold.
DeleteGood luck! I like those blue and white aprons. Hope you sell lots. Seven hours is quite a while, and two days too! Rather you than me;-)
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, two days!! I really don't want to go even for today. But I signed up so I need to be there. I was thinking of making a big sign saying everything half price. :) Thank you!
DeleteOh no, don't sell yourself short! Christmas is coming and you will probably be pleasantly surprised! I know the feeling of 'it seemed a good idea at the time' and when the time comes, you wonder what on earth you were thinking;-)

DeleteHoping everything sells. Have you tried your hand at making signs from old boards? Seems where you live you might find some to paint.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that! I am seriously going to come up with something new. Signs from old boards sounds good but I can't even write in a straight line! :)
DeleteHope all goes well at the sale. I LOVE the aprons. I think all your stuff looks great and I'm sure you will sell lots of stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's encouraging! I'm glad you like the aprons. I've got to get back over to your blog. I seem to be behind with everything again. :)
DeleteYour "lint ball" comment made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteI think you've just got the mopes: your wares look fine, and those two blue aprons are fabulous.
Hey Marty! I've got the mopes alright. I'm miss doom and gloom! Sounds like someone who will really draw in the customers today, doesn't it? :) Thank you Marty.
DeleteGood luck at the craft show. Sounds like you need some sunshine, it's been grey and gloomy here for a while so I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteFor most of us I think a little sunshine would help. :) Thank you!
DeleteI love the aprons. They make me think of my mom in the 1950s. I hope you have a big surprise and sell lots!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia. I hope so too!
DeleteI think your aprons are lovely; you're selling yourself short kiddo.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that Janet. :)
DeleteHope you sell all of it and have a good time to ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hope you're having a good weekend!
DeleteYour aprons are wonderful! Here's hoping you are pleasantly surprised with sales.
ReplyDeleteThank you Leigh! And thank you for following my blog. I am very flattered.
DeleteHi! Good luck on your craft show! I do like your aprons. I have only did one and that was with others but didn't make anything! Enjoy it anyway! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy. Thank you. Craft shows are funny. I've been to some and not made a penny, and then others, almost sell out of everything.
DeleteHope the craft show goes well for you and the weather cooperates with a bright sunny day. The aprons are beautiful and would make lovely Christmas gifts. Not everyone has to have red and green for Christmas..
ReplyDeleteThank you Vic. I seem to sell more of my crafts out of town. There's just something about this little town. Maybe it's because I was not born and raised here.
DeleteI love all of your things! I hope you did well today and even better tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace
Thank you Mrs. G! I'm going back this morning. I'll have to post about yesterday. It was different! :)
DeleteYou need something to cheer you up. I hope your craft sale brings some good results.
ReplyDeleteI sure do need something to cheer me up. Yesterday was okay. It will make for an interesting post! Thank you Linda.
DeleteI just love your bonnets and aprons... I hope you sell well.. its been very sunless here as well... where I am glad for all the rain we are getting .. whew I have to adjust to the lack of sunlight .. and now the shorter days ...
ReplyDeleteI think all of your items for sale are just lovely and I am sure that I would buy something if I were at your sale. You do such a nice job of making these beautiful dolls and aprons and bags and things. Hope you have a successful sale Henny!
ReplyDeleteHope it was a great success. Your work is beautiful.
