Phew,  did you see that?  It was a red sled and it just went flying by………and as you might expect of a speeding red sled it was tons of fun.   Wanna see how my booth looked at the start of the day?

I hope you don’t mock me for my lack of mobiles, remember a few posts ago I was kinda smug about finally figuring out how to attach them to my booth?   well it turns out I didn’t figure it out after all………..sigh.

I met so many brilliant crafters and I even have a new Etsy sore to covet,  it’s called den10studio and Karyn’s artwork is simply beautiful, I love her Christmas cards and Markie loves her prints.

I may have to break down and buy them although I still really like the idea of sending out my own……I can tell that everyone on my Christmas card list is keeping their fingers crossed that I go with Karyn’s.

I also met so many wonderful holiday shoppers……meet my cutest customer of the day….everyone 1,2,3…….aawwwwwwwwwwwww

She was a big fan of my hairballs and critterclips……..look she has a hairball in her hair right now!!! How cute is that?  It was so nice of her mum to bring her by my booth to show me the hairball in place.  So yes I had a fantastic time at a highly organised show,  I even had helpers to carry my stuff into the hall in the morning it was bliss.  I hope they will have me again next year as I shall just show up anyway if they don’t,  and that could be  a little akward huh?

Honestly how mental are cats?  and that really is a rhetorical question………..check out Kirzstie

I’m trying to get ready for the Red Sled Holiday Bazaar practicing setting up my booth and persuading the critters to get packed up (not their favourite part of shows) when Kirzstie decides the table is his new den.  His favourite place ever………and no I may not approach it……….what a pest!!!!  I guess he likes my new table cover as much as I do.

Remember tomorrow  to come see me if you are in the are in the area,  I’m in the main hall booth #38 so you cant miss me and seeing as how we are experiencing our first snow of the season today  (boo) and more expected tomorrow I’m thinking we will be there very early to not risk the roads.

On Etys rocks!!!!!  I told you how I hated my booth table covering,  well I looked around for a solution and eventually came to the conclusion that I would have to buy the fabric that I wanted and…..shock horror!!! sew it myself……..gasp!!!! the horror!!!.  Now I now that I can’t sew well enough to even attempt this and yes I bought a sewing machine but it really has become comfortable in it’s little nook on the dining room floor and I just hate to disturb it.  So I made an Alchemy request for someone to make one for me…….

What I got was even better than I could possibly have hoped for (look she even included my little mousey) and I am so excited to use it at my upcoming shows.  It was made for me by the wonderful Kellyn and I am so glad she accepted my Alchemy request.

So talking about upcoming shows I guess it’s first outing will be this Saturday at the red sled holiday bazaar
