Yaaaaay what a fabulous weekend in O’fallon……..it was so much fun and the absolutely perfect way to retire the e z up for the year.

Of course I’ll share how I set up my booth

And the greatest thing of the weekend was that I was right beside my crafty buddy EKRA so I was able to pester her ….errrm I mean help her all day (ahem) look here I am being helpful

The weather on Saturday was absolutely perfect and lots of critters found new wonderful homes

The pink elephant was promptly named Cogsworth,  which I think is rather brilliant and fitted him brilliantly.

Norm the captured gnome found the best new home ever……….He’s going to permanently reside at the O’Fallon public library where he’ll be on display with the fairy tale books,  he’ll love that and hopefully he’ll quit planning on escaping now.

So it was a fabulous weekend,  I met a ton of wonderful people and had a lot of fun………I sure do love me some Strangefolk!

And now it’s back to stabbying as I have some major restocking to do……..

The one and only Lulu of Lulu’s Stabby Critters would like to unveil what she has been working on for well over a week and a half…………….

Drum roll please

That’s right a circus themed table set up……The idea got stuck in my head when I saw a couple of display items on ebay that I thought were super cute but made no sense with my current set up.  So of course I had to go with it and figure out how to convey a circus tent on a flat table,  what do you think?  I’m very happy with how it turned out…….I love the idea of the critters being part of a travelling side show and I am the ringmaster of course so they better behave or I’ll crack the whip.

I also made a pennant style banner

It’s huge,  but I glued glittery chipboard letters to it

that hopefully you will be able to see when it’s blowing in the wind at it’s first outing………That’s right I just found out I got accepted for Bazzar Bizarre’s Summer show……….yipppppppppppeeeeeeeee!!!! and it should be mega cool as it’s part of the Larchmere festival,   hmm may have to sneak off at some point and leave Markie to man the booth.

So now I’m busy,  busy,  busy (what else is new) as with the new theme I want circus related critters……..I’m thinking elephants and giraffes and lions but a ringmaster would also be cool………..gaaaaaaaaah back to work
