december craft show madness or how much is too much?

this is the state of my floor as i prepare for shows 2 and 3 of this weekend. since friday: 50 feather hairpins (3rd photo, some sold) 10 feather pieces (added to the pile in the 2nd photo), several plain flowers (lost count of how many), goodies and coupons for sunday’s handmade nw formal show, organizing the vendors for the p:ear show next weekend, and probably more, but i can’t remember. my mantra for getting everything done, and it’s working: one thing at a time from start to finish.

here is the short list of shows:

12.5 Sunnyside Environmental School Holiday Bazaar 11a-4p 3421 SE Salmon Street to raise funds for biology trips. There will be a raffle with fabulous prizes!

12.6 Handmade NW Formal Artisans Sale 10a-6p at the Chelsea Ballroom 1510 SE 9th (and Hawthorne) We will be dressed in out finery to present you with lovely handmade goods for the holiday season! swag bags to the first 100 to arrive!

(and my etsy shop, don’t forget about that!)

together, you can buy out all of my stock, so i can do this every week! i have lots of ribbon to make more.
