I just wanted to wish everyone a  Happy Valentine’s Day!  I know, I know…it’s a Hallmark Holiday…but hey, why should we pooh pooh a reason to celebrate our love for someone else.  I was lucky enough to get to be wished a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ two mornings in a row.  My lovely husband woke up yesterday and with a smug grin on his face he said, “Happy Valentine’s Day”.  My response…”Sweetie…it’s tomorrow.”  “Oh.”  He didn’t realize it’s on the 14th of February…every year…he just thought it happened on a Saturday in February.  Gotta love him :)

Anyway, I did want to share some pictures of the Valentine Craftacular I sold my goods at yesterday.  I had a wonderful time, met a lot of great people, enjoyed a few beers (hey, my booth was literally right by the bar), and sold a few things.  I didn’t sell all of my items though so keep an eye on my etsy shop for some new listings in the next few days. 

 A quick snapshot of my booth.  I have way too many things and am always trying to figure out a new way to display it all…it seems to change at each show.  The other challenge at this show was to provide proper lighting for myself.  It was at a bar, the High Noon Saloon, so the lighting was crap.My weird five light lamp ended up being the perfect solution.  And of course my hubby created an amazing contraption with a hanger and some duct tape to keep the lights all facing in the right direction!  Thanks Jared!  Many were impressed…Some of my early browsers…the earrings and typewriter rings were a hit!    My cousins, Eric, Paul and Scott, and Scott’s girlfriend Erika came to visit me at my booth…make a few special purchases AND buy me a beer!  Thanks guys! These girls were really into my earrings (yeah!) I think they had a lot of fun looking at all the selection.  View from the top…lots of shoppers checking out all the amazing goodies!     A few from the top…my booth was just past the second beam…right across from the bar…

Thanks to everyone that came and a special thanks to Naomi, from the Glitter Workshop, for all her work organizing and advertising this event to make it the success it was!
