Is the Holiday Craft fair season over yet? December 11, 2008

Filed under: Crafty — karrie @ 12:57 pm

Almost… One more this weekend. I was invited to peddle my wares at the first ever Knit One One Craft Fair. Knit One One is a local knitting studio offering classes and space for knitting and spinning meet ups. They are very close to my house (and next to a delicious bakery), but somehow I have never paid a visit. I went last weekend to check it out and it is beautiful and cozy. I am so excited to hang out there for the afternoon. I don’t have much space so I’ll be heavy on the knitting buttons and stitch markers and light on the fiber. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to bring so you can see it in person.



And the previous craft fairs…

Felt club was great…


And so was the SF Bazaar Bizarre (I snuck that one in there and forgot to post about it. You really should sign up for my mailing list if you want reminders). I shared a booth with Abmatic and was next to Sweet Meats. I window shopped for meat all day and brought home some prime cuts. I also had some enthusiastic moustache customers.





You want to know a secret… I am not sick of craft fairs yet! I love writing receipts and processing credit cards… I have a new found love for my credit card ka-chinker thanks to a bit of handy work from a crafty friend. I can’t wait for the summer fairs to roll around!

 
 

Felt Club Holiday 2008 – this weekend! November 11, 2008

Filed under: Crafty, Etsy Shopping — karrie @ 1:04 pm

Well, I am hitting the road. A minivan filled with my friends, my moustaches and my fiber will be headed down to So-Cal for the Felt Club Holiday 2008 Event on Sunday Nov 16th. I am still wondering how I will fill a 10′ x 10′ space without Abby’s bags and wallets. Also I wish I had a classier way than a wooden drying rack to display my roving… I doubt I will pull anything together in the next few days..

I didn’t remember seeing any fiber or much yarn when I was a shopper at last year’s event, so I teamed up with a couple of other felt club fiber vendors to try and encourage lovers of the fiber arts to stop by the event.

Felt Club Coupon

Traveling Rhinos, Beemiceelf, and myself will give you 10% off a $25 or more purchase at each of our booths. Hopefully this will help to offset the $5 entry fee…

And of course all of my moustache and woven items qualify for a discount too. If you see anything you might want me to bring, let me know!

Hope to see you there!
