Why Buy from a Local Crafter?

​This past Saturday, I was at a craft show as a vendor for the purpose of getting my feet wet at selling hand made items and to assist my niece who is a very busy mom to fill a table and have someone to share in the joy of displaying her skills and talent. It was lots of fun! Check out my niece Ashley's handiwork on Facebook.
 Simultaneously, (almost albeit the time difference) my daughter and her partner where also attending a craft show in BC selling their hand crafted furniture and wood art.  The picture of the  www.twillandtimber.com booth is below:

There are many craft shows at this time of year in every community and several reasons why people should attend at least one of these events.  I encourage you to get out to a local craft show/sale and I promise you, you may reap at least one or more of the following rewards:
  1. ​It gives you are great sense of community
  2. You can attend with a friend  or relative and enjoy the visit (as I did with my niece and great niece)
  3. You can purchase one of a kind items
  4. You are supporting the arts in your community 
  5. You can get some Christmas shopping done early
  6. You will find original home decor items
  7. You may find some DIY ideas that you want to try
  8. There are usually many happy faces there as people who attend are pursuing their passion, take time to enjoy or as the saying goes "smell the roses".  I believe you will be happier for it!
Below are my items on display at home prior to the show.  I had cup cozies, mitten clips, bandana bibs for babies, baby bib and pacifier clip sets, bunny ear teething rings, purse tissue packs and "Sniffle Monsters"

... and the last minute item that I made and the funniest of them all, my "sniffle monsters" were my best seller.  These are tissue packs for kids (or adults who love fun stuff).
​ Murphy's Law is always at work in my life! Too funny!!!

Happy Monday everyone!
