St Christopher Art Fair 2011

I participated in the St Christopher 2011 Art Fair on October 15th. Had a pretty good turn-out and business was good. Sold several handbags and market totes. Met some nice people and saw some really pretty jewelry.

Valerie Corbeille's jewelry is wonderful -- of course. She has some vintage collage pieces that are absolutely beautiful. I took a couple of shots, but the pics don't do her jewelry justice.


Here's some pics of my booth and also one of Valerie's pieces.

Farmer's Market

Saturday I stopped by the Farmers Market at Clear Lake Shores. I may set up shop there a couple of Saturdays or so during the holidays and preholiday season. I'm waiting for a response to see if space is available on the dates I want to participate. I'll let you know when I know for sure.

While at the Market, I met Helen from Cloth & Ink. She produces some wonderful fabrics and accessories made from her fabrics. She uses earth friendly materials and her products are first class. They are stunning. You can see them on her website www.cloth-ink.com and her etsy store www.etsy.com/shop/clothandink. Check it out. You'll be glad you did.


I also enjoyed half a cheese quesadilla, bought some chicken jerky for Mollie and some sausage for Tom. I got to visit with some really nice people and will definitely be going back -- even when I'm not one of the vendors.


Be sure to visit the Farmers Market at Clear Lake Shores on FM 2094. Check out their website at www.farmersmarketatcls.com.

'TIS THE SEASON

YAYAMADE will be at the AVA Holiday Shopping Extravaganza on Saturday, December 3, 2011, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., off FM 646 and Hwy 3, next to Kid City, League City/Dickinson. There should be around 100 vendors. It's INDOORS, so you'll be toasty warm. Come on out and Shop YAYAMADE. The pic shows my booth at AVA HSE last year. There will be a few changes this year.

Oh, my gosh. It's been over a year since I posted anything on my blog. Shame on me. I really have trouble with balance. Or maybe it's that I have trouble multitasking. Or -- I just haven't blogged in ages. Let's see if I can remedy that. Stayed tuned.

Just for a cute pic, here's one of my Ghoul Gift Guardians. Her zipper mouth -- open it up and place your treasure inside. Cute GGG will guard it for you until your gift recipient tells her to "open wide."
