Saturday was a success--although the weather might have been a little too nice (keeping some people away) but otherwise it was quite lovely. Here is a little peek at my set-up...
and for once I actually made enough finger puppets! (usually I sell out before the end of a show)

The cloudy/rainy/snowy weather let up for just a tiny bit this morning and although I made my best attempt to photograph while the bit of sunshine lasted, I wasn't quite quick enough. So it was back to photographing in the cloudy cloudy cloudy weather.
I took some more photos of this guy...
and his friends!
and I realized that there were a few little bear friends left from the craft show that weren't in my shop so I photographed them and listed them too!

I made this little pop-up puppet in the midst of the holiday rush/craft show/blur of makingmakingmaking that was December. This puppet makes me think of the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland...
and he has made his way in the shop.

It may be a month and a half away but I've got a little love day cheer....
that has made its way into the shop!

are more of those finger puppets! 3 sets to be exact.
Next on my to-do list is finishing a batch of little lion men....
and then I think I'll move onto hand puppets.
10 days until Christmas vacation is what I keep telling myself! Between now and then is a two day craft show, making gingerbread houses with my students, and doing as much sewing as I possibly can! Also note: after December 15th my shop will be in vacation mode--do your Christmas shopping now!

Now that I have recuperated (and the mess in my apartment has been taken care of) I am ready to share some photos from last weekend's craft show. It was a great show with a good turnout and I got lots and lots of positive feedback which is always nice to hear (especially after working away by myself for countless hours--being social is nice, ya know?). So here are some photos of the set up (which I shifted about as things sold)
me & my things
just my stuff
my tiered display--something I scored at a cute little boutique in Salt Lake City
and my vintage suitcase full of goodies.
Believe it or not everything (barely) fit in my little car for transport to and from the show. It might have looked a bit like a clown car though, pulling out all that furniture-- folding screen, table, & chair! The table had an unfortunate mishap when I was putting it back in the car at the end--one of the table legs fell off (three legged tables aren't very useful). But it's fixed now--good thing because I use it as my cutting table!
Now I have just a few weeks to prep for the next one! The next month is bound to be CRAZY. Also relevant, if you plan to purchase something from my Etsy shop you'll want to do so by December 15th. It will be in vacation mode from Dec. 16-Jan. 3. Just a heads up.
