Country Harvest

Wow, its hard for me to believe the summer has flown by so quickly, but here it is, the middle of September!

The fun thing about fall is the craft shows! This Saturday you can join Designs of Mine at the Maysville Country Harvest, beginning about 8:00 AM. There are rides for children, a baby show and sibling look-alike contest, a parade (at 2:00 PM) and lots of great booths like mine! This amazing fun will take place at the courthouse square in Maysville, MO. You should probably be there ;-).

I am excited about some new products for my booth this year. In the past I have displayed samples of my custom projects, but this year I have several pre-made items for sale. While all of my things are still available custom made, you can purchase these pre-mades and take them home with you-- no waiting, no contract!

So get out and enjoy. See you Saturday!

Count Down

In just a few hours I'll be packing up all my displays, products, and even tools! The Lathrop Fall Festival is almost here. And as usual, I'm so excited!

I'm introducing... chocolate! Well, not like I invented it or anything, but like I've add decorative chocolate bars to my gift selection. Its the perfect thing when you need a thoughtful but not too expensive gift, say for a child's teacher, co-workers, coach, mailman, distant relative, that type of thing. Or just for eating. 'Cause now I'm hungry.

And there will also be a kid's table. For three dollars children (of any age :-) ) can make a paper bag album. Still to do on my list today is to create cards for ideas of things to add to your paper bag album. It can be hard to think of things, especially if you don't have photographs with you!

Also on the to do list is iron my table cloths, fix the sign that says "raffel" instead of "raffle", choose samples for my display board, pick up tables, and pack everything! Perhaps get tootsie rolls. Yes, definitely get tootsie rolls.

So I guess that means I should get off the computer and get to work!

See you soon!

Once Again

Well here we go again! I enjoyed spending the day at the Maysville Fall Harvest so much that I've decided to do another one. I've got a spot reserved at the Lathrop First Christian Church Fall Festival, a babysitter arranged for the little guy, and tons of new ideas!

I've decided to add a little something for the kids who will be coming. I'm going to set up a children's craft table, where, for a few dollars, kids can decorate their own paperbag album. The flyer for the event states they will be taking pictures, so I'm thinking people will need a place to display these pictures!

I'm also planning to introduce a few new products at the festival. As you know (if you've been reading the blog!) I'm currently in love with small, alternative type scrapbooks. So this display will give me the opportunity to add decorated chocolate bars and covered journals to the mix. And who doesn't love chocolate!

The date is October 25th from 10:00am-7:00pm. Directions are: 4 miles south of Lathrop on 33 hwy to V hwy. Go 2 miles, turn right on Meadow Lane and follow the signs to 5684 SE Meadow Lane.

Hope to see you there!

Good Times
