Craft Fair!

On: Sunday, October 16, 2011

On October 8th, I participated in my very first craft fair. It was a small fair held at the high school Ian and I graduated from. It was such a fun day, and we were able to raise $350 for our adoption.

I am thankful for my husband who designed a logo/sign for my booth as well as packaging for the products.

I am thankful for sweet, creative friends who came early in the morning to help me set up the booth. I loved it so much and it would not have looked attractive had I been left on my own. ;)

I am thankful for my friend Kendra from Sugarplum Boutique, who generously allowed us to benefit from the sales of her beautiful bows, headbands, and hats at the fair. And for my friend Jen, who donated several onesies and pillowcase dresses for our adoption fundraising efforts.

I am thankful for all the friends, family members, and other guests who supported the booth and brought us a little closer to bringing our child home.

Julie these are adorable. I would love to be able to send these to our neices since I completely forgot about sending birthday gifts this year, plus I'd love to help you out too. I'd love 3 clips and all three of your fall playdough scents. email me at ericasteinfort @gmail.com

Kristin said...

Soo cute!

Question, are you planning on shipping your hair clips or just local?!?! :)

Julie said...

Thanks for all your support! This makes me smile. I will be emailing all of you this afternoon.

Miss G, the playdough will definitely keep for months and months and months because it is in a sealed container.

Kristin, I will ship the hairclips to you (I'll have to add a shipping charge though).

Thank you!!
