April 27, 2009 // Crafts / Cut Paper / Sewing

Thanks to Stephanie Spears and everyone who made the craft fair on Saturday so much fun! We had a trickster visit our booth several times...the Wind knocked down our signs and displays and blew away our neighbor's tent. The biggest surprise was that our crafts actually outsold Anthony's water. I got a chance to walk around and see all the other booths and there were lots of beautiful things, like jumbo fabric hair flowers and pretty little sundresses, made by ultra talented people.

 

I just couldn't resist this intelligently designed and perfectly stitched bib made with retro fabrics by Emily Willert of PlumageEtcetera.Etsy.com. She made it with ties instead of Velcro (which used to scratch Superbaby's skin) and arm holes that protect clothing better than just a neck tie. What I love most about Emily's whole line is her hard-to-find fabric selection. Hope you love this bib as much as I do, baby N!

My motorcross obsessed brother-in-law Jeff Baker didn't want to miss out on all the fun at the fair tomorrow, so he sent some of the hats he designs for his clothing line. Check 'em out (my fave is the pinstripes, I want one in Superbaby's size!):

Got a big box in the mail today from my sister Brooke full of her beautiful crafts to sell at the fair tomorrow. Here are her painted and papered picture frames:

Come see me at The Grove Craft Fair this Saturday, April 25 from 9 am to 12 noon. (Address: 20105 S Gilbert Road Chandler, AZ 85286) There will be approximately 50 vendors selling everything from clothing to baked goods and free activities for kids (including a bounce!) I've been promised a rare, shady spot in the courtyard so I should be easy to find.

Here's a taste of some of the goodies you'll find at my table: framed cut paper art works by yours truly, my sister Heidi's beautifully sewn tote bags and my sister Brooke's adorable hair accessories.

Hope to see you there!
