This past weekend there was a craft show at my work, I did a spur of the moment thing and signed up for a table. I don't know why, usually I never do stuff like this. It was a fun experience anyway. Here's Emily and I at the show after getting almost no sleep prepping. Everyone wanted to know if Ellie was for sale too.
For my craft I advertised for my photography and I sold hand painted canes and a walker. They took me forever and ever and ever and ever to make. I also had friends come and contribute things to go on the table. Katie made and brought baby bib and burp cloths, and her sister brought homemade lamps made from glass bottles.
I already told you that Emily came down from Boston too to sell her pillows which she designed, silk screened, and/or linoleum cut and printed onto her pillows. They really are a work of art and not just some everyday pillow. You can see her beautiful blog here, and also go to her etsy shop.
She sold a few of her pillows and that is great b/c I on the other hand didn't sell anything. It was actually pretty disappointing, not going to lie, but thats ok. Who wouldn't want to buy something for their grandparents that would make them safe as well as fashionable???????? It still sounds like a good idea to me so I set up an etsy shop. So now I hopefully will sell them online and if not, I'm going to Riderwood (nursing home), and maybe the Delaplaine (art gallery that sold a lot of my hand made books.) They look a lot better in person. With their semi gloss finish it looks professional which I don't think you can tell from the pictures.
