This Is It



I recently went to see the Michael Jackson movie "This Is It". I had always wanted to see him in concert, and since his death, I knew this would be the closest to that dream I would ever get.

I loved it, and I was reading some blogs today, and this one captured many of the things and emotions that I felt while watching.

Farmers Market and Craft Fairs!


recycled crayon discs

This summer on Thur. nights, I would head out to Tallmadge to participate in their Farmer's Market. Didnt sell much, and then I got a babysitting job for thur nights, so I couldnt do the market anymore, but while I did it, I learned a lot! Its great to get direct feedback from people on my products. It seems most are drawn to certain items, and not so much others :)





One lady stopped by and requested I make some of these crocheted-button-hand-towels. I didnt think people still bought these things, but apparently there is some type of market for them, so I made a couple... I had the yarn, and plenty of buttons, so all I had to do was buy a pack of towels and get down to business.



Now I am bulking up my inventory for the four craft fairs in November that I will have a table at. So if you're in NE Ohio, stop by and support local art!!!
