A BIG 'thank you' to all that stopped by my
booth at Grayslake this weekend.
I don't ever recall a show where I've talked
with so many blog followers and fellow bloggers,
(meeting some of you for the first time),
as well as past customers.
If I start naming names this would be a long post
and I'm sure I'd leave someone out.
Please know that I truly appreciated each of you that stopped by.
The weather was nice and the attendance was good.
The show played itself out a bit differently than the norm for me,
with Saturday morning sales leaning
toward the inexpensive items. (I love having
something for everyone in my booth, but
it does take a mix of items to make a good show!)
Saturday afternoon and Sunday sales were great so it
ended up being a good weekend.
I've got suitcases full of Valentines and devoted
a table to them this weekend.
Folks had fun choosing the right one for their
loved ones.
Vocabulary cards always bring traffic into the booth.
I've got a good supply at the moment and will
add some to my etsy shop soon.
The scary baby head is gone, and so is the locker basket.
Some of the tix and the carny punks
are still available.
I snapped a quick photo in the ChiPPy!-SHaBBy!
booth during set-up. Jeanine's staging
is always beautiful.
Jeanine was next to Diane Passi.
These two look great in the same neighborhood!
Diane also has a great eye and a knack for finding
the most amazing things.
Joe & Sandy of Rhubarb Reign arrived a bit
later during set-up and I never got out to shop
their booth. Bet they'll have a report on their
blog soon - check it out!
Switching gears...
I need to alert you to some fun giveaways.
Angie, of Viva la Cottage
is giving away one of those amazing necklaces
made by our friend Jill of Altered Ever After.
Linda from Itsy Bits & Pieces
has put together a sweet package on her blog
...and
Julie from Junkin' Julie
has made a beautiful button bracelet and is
including it in her giveaway.
It's starting to feel like Christmas all over again!
