Holiday Bazaar this Saturday

I'm really excited about the holiday bazaar this Saturday at Stone Spiral. I'll be there with a small group of local artisans from 9 - 5. I'll have lots of map pendants from all your favorite U.S. locations as well as terrarium kits and built terrariums. I hope you can make it out, but if you can't don't forget to buy local and buy handmade wherever you are!

Holidays Approach!

Hi Everyone!

Grad school is kicking my butt, but rest assured that crafting is still happening. If you're hoping to get some of your holiday shopping done early, there are lots of great shows coming up in the next couple months, I hope to see you there!

Summer!

This is my favorite time of year. I'm one of those loons that loves the heat and Missouri never disappoints in that department, it's already been 90+ degrees several days and it's not even June yet! This past weekend I did the craft fair in Soulard and it was hot, hot, hot! It was great to spend the day outside soaking up the sun and the best bonus is being able to kill two birds with one stone and get all my weekly fruits and veg while I'm there. Next week I'm off on Saturday and Sunday and I plan to get some hiking in if the weather is good. I've been itching to get my boots on and have an adventure. Maybe I'll even take Mackie the Wonder Dog. Monday I'll be vending at Gypsy Caravan as part of the Handmade Blockade. A bunch of us crafties will be there selling our wares and it promises to be a great time, I hope you can come!

Long Overdue and Spring Shows

It has been a BUSY winter! I can't believe Thanksgiving was the last time I updated this poor neglected blog. I'm in grad school, plus working full time and this has been my toughest semester yet and I've been busy getting my baby ready for college. *sniff* *sniff* We just spent the day visiting her school this past weekend and it was a really great experience, she's so excited and I am too.

I'm so glad that spring has sprung and that we have such lovely weather to enjoy. Spring means sunshine, gardening, and lovely breezes. It also means show season is upon us. Green with Indie was on 3/10 and was an awesome way to kick off the season. I've got lots of shows lined up already for this year and more to come.

 Here's the current line up:

May 5	Tower Grove Farmer's Market
May 19	Soulard Market Park Arts & Crafts Fair
May 28	Gypsy Caravan
June 16	Soulard Market Park Arts & Crafts Fair
July 14 & 15	Indie Craft Revolution
July 21	Soulard Market Park Arts & Crafts Fair
August 18	Soulard Market Park Arts & Crafts Fair
August 25	Tower Grove Farmer's Market
October 20	Tower Grove Farmer's Market

New in the studio are Funny Farm Terrariums and Funny Farm Terrarium Kits. They've been lots of fun to put together and I'm really enjoying working in a new medium in addition to my regular mappy fare.

So much to do! I hope you are enjoying some sunshine and hope to see you soon. :)
