Fall Craft Show

Hello!  The Holidays are here!  And I love FALL!  I have recently immersed myself into a few Christmas projects that I am planning to present as gifts this year.  I know, it seems early, but because my Etsy shop is full of orders, orders, and more orders right now, I am starting early and working a few minutes here and there when I get the chance. 

Last weekend, Carly and I were able to host a table at a craft show that was to benefit the local high school band.  They are raising money to go to D.C.  I was happy to be a part of helping them raise money.  But because things have been so hectic and busy lately, I didn't have a lot to present at my table.  I even re-used décor from Shelby's first birthday party as my "show" table! 

I decided to try and sell some hot pepper jelly that I made and canned a couple of months ago.  I love that stuff!  It's not as hot as it sounds, either.  I also displayed a birthday board sign like I sell on Etsy so I could take orders if someone wanted to get one.  I didn't sell any boards, but I did sell some jars of jelly.  However on Etsy, while I was working the craft show, I did manage to gain a couple of orders.  So, all in all, it wasn't a total waste of my time.  And the best thing was getting to spend a few hours with my Carbie Barbie.

Thanks for looking!
