Look What Daniel Got Me!

Dropping off our son at cross country practice yesterday, Daniel noticed Rose Tree Park was having their yearly craft show. He came back to the house and got me and then got me this.

I like stuff you can dig in the garden wearing and wash your hands a million times! I love making jewelry but I'm not good at wearing it.

Anyway, back to the craft show. There were at least 3 great jewelry vendors and it was Janet Kofoed's shop that I got the ring at. She has a website:

Like I said I can't make myself wear fancy jewelry and some of the other vendors had pieces that looked like art work, just beautiful stuff. It's really an art show.

Anyway, thank you Daniel.

Swarthmore Was A Blast!

Everything was perfect, drive to spot, drop off, set up, wait to greet folks. The weather was perfect and everyone appreciated the craft content at the Craft Store.

And Isabella was perfect too!

The Day Before Craft Store

The canopy wasn't too bad thanks to Gilbert. And thanks to Jeffo, Charlene's husband, we have 4 terrific ladders to hang scarves! I'm so ready.

I Decoupaged

And I'm glad it's not my full time job! I'm not good at it. I have trouble with lumps but since I only do it every once and a while I don't study the correct methods.

I wanted a bird theme for my rack.

The show's on Saturday and I want to be ready!

Hurry Before Amy Gets Home

I didn't blog yesterday due to having to take care of some paypal problems I was having. I knew I had to post something today. You see, my sister gets cranky when I don't post.

Anyway, I was spray painting and top coating a jewelry stand for our upcoming craft show. Let me tell you what's going on here. The upright is a piece of fencing, the dowels are from old chair spindles and the hearts are from the craft store, bore through.

I did it myself, I know it's got design flaws but I went with the flow. I sprayed it with flat white first which helps the top coat go on smoother. I'm wondering if I want to decoupage birds on it. Stay tuned!

Uninvited Guests

I have a nice little pile of bags I've been making for Swarthmore's Outdoor Craft Store on September 18th. It'll be my first, for real, craft show and I'm really looking forward. Especially since I won't be alone, Charlene my buddy in craft crime will be there with me!
