Did you have a fantastic time at the craftacular this year? (I did)  Are you really sad that you missed it?  Or, did you go and didn’t get that one thing and you just can’t get it out of your head?

Don’t worry LOTS of us sell online – especially on etsy.  Here’s just a few:

Since this is my blog and I’ll be at the show tomorrow I figured I would do a slightly more extensive ‘sneak peak’ into what I’ll have at the Craftacular.  I’m really excited about my revamped display and new items I’ll be offering.

One thing that is going to be different this year is that I won’t have a lot of quilts, bags, or aprons.  If there was anything that you wanted to look at please let me know now and I’ll be sure to pack it along.

One of the new things I’m offering this year are tutu’s.  I made both my girls one for their Halloween costume and I loved them so much I had to make more for you all to pick from!  Not only are there fantastic tutu’s but there is also a good selection of ‘Magic Apple Wands’, funky headbands, and fun hair pins.  If any of you remember my display from previous years it was all just brown wood.  Well, earlier this week I decided to modify it a bit – I spray painted the earring racks and other display items with chalkboard paint.  I tried to spray paint a few of my apple crates white but that really didn’t work so I had to go to brush painting white.  I think the white will really help you see into the crates at what’s displayed inside.  Overall – I’m really happy with the new look and can’t wait to see what you all think tomorrow! Capri dancing around in the rainbow tutu.Another new item I have this year are hand-dyed t-shirt rosette head bands.  Of course, I had to get some fun manikin heads to put them on!  Here is  a close-up of my earring racks.  I organized my earrings this year by price and then wrote with a chalk pen next to them how much they are.  This will hopefully ease your ability to shop for the perfect pair! Every time I tried a different tutu on Capri she would come up with a new dance move!  It’s amazing what those little circles of tulle will do to your child!

I will also be having a few ‘craftacular’ specials on earrings and ornaments so be sure to stop by my booth!  Hope to see many of you at the show tomorrow!

I’m so excited that Justyna from Funky Monkey Photography will be wo-manning a Photo Booth at this winter’s Craftacular!  She has taken some AMAZING pictures of my kids this past year.

Here’s Pip when she was just a few weeks old:  Newborn Persimoni Mae

and The older Girls:  Tea party

I’m so in LOVE with them all!

Justyna has such great ideas, an eye for great shots, and the knowledge to get some great pictures of your kids!  She’s also so good with kids which you can imagine is REALLY IMPORTANT when trying to get the perfect shot!  Be sure to stop by and get a great headshot of your child at this Saturday’s Craftacular!
