vintage material











Finally! After talking about them FOREVER, I get them made and posted. This is some GREAT vintage material that I found a while back in MS, but didn't buy...luckily, I found it online and snatched it real quick! I have made blankets out of these materials....obviously by the picture of the crib. I posted that picture so you can see just how big the blankets are. They are not quite a full yard. Each blanket is a cotton front with a flannel back. The Santa material has a red back, the children playing (on blue) has a buttercream flannel back, and the ballerinas have an oatmeal colored back. They are so cute, if I do say so myself. Each blanket is $20 and I have two of each.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's off to work I go

Wow! I am so busy these days...I almost couldn't tell you what day it is. I am sure that I would have to stop and think about it. Sheesh!

Well, I had my small "in office" craft show for all our State Attorney staff. I am thinking this is not the year for buying crafts. I made one sale and one semi sale...meaning I was told to put it aside and she would catch me later. This could be good and bad. On one hand, I am disappointed that I didn't really sell much, but on the other hand, I have a good inventory for my BIG, BIG, BIG show next weekend. Oh well...we live and we learn. My dear husband keeps telling me, "it's not the product, it's the limited market for the product." God love him...he's trying. I guess he is right though...not that many people like handmade stuff anymore. I did have a couple tell me that my burp cloths would be GREAT kitchen towels. Ha,ha!

Anyway, I said I would give it a year. That won't be until February, so we shall see. I still have the O'Connell Center after Thanksgiving, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
