By Sunday evening, the crowd had dwindled, we'd run out of "timber" for our "Trick Out Some Timber" craft (luckily people still loved trying the image transfer onto cardboard). Around 6pm I took the opportunity to run around the fair to do my shopping and here is what I bought:
Two heart shaped bracelets from Verameat (I love hearts... I mean Paired Hearts represent!)
And two cutie onesies from harrilu. The toaster is in homage to my pup Toast and I thought the kitten was just adorable. I also ordered a custom clutch from Jenny N. Design, can't wait to receive it! -Like this but with a different leather:
My husband came and bought:
A cool tee from KDS Clothing, and a rad Tortoise poster from Empire Press.
Our booth was rocking it too, here are a bunch of pics to prove it:
Pre-opening, I'm up on the roof to do some cleaning & decorating.
From the time the doors opened on Day 1 until they closed on Day 2, our interactive area was hoppin'!
We showed guests how to "Trick Out Some Timber" with a simple image transfer technique, & then use decoupage &/or picks from our stash of cool ribbon, trims, buttons & baubles to give it some unique flair.
Here comes the Minor Mishap Marching Band!
A steady stream of shoppers enjoyed browsing the handmade goods inside Stella's Boutique (at times it was shoulder-to-shoulder in there!), & we had our famous design-your-own pinback buttons station just outside the door.
A big "thank you" to everyone who came out! We had such a fabulous time spreading the crafty love & made lots of new friends. Can't wait for Renegade Austin 2011! {Oh yes, I think it's gonna happen!} : )
Wow that looks like so much fun and craziness!
ReplyDeleteawesome. Sadly your booth was soo packed that I was unable to visit you. However I admired stella from afar. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't stop by either -- the crowd was insane! A very good thing!!
ReplyDeleteThe trailer was so crowded every time I walked by I never got to go in, which is awesome. I did spy a mirrored Air Stream Trailer necklace which I need to make mine at some point. Maybe I'll come by the Babes meeting on Thursday and score one.
ReplyDeleteyes, it was crazy-busy! we're not complainin', but too bad it kept y'all from going in. Do come by tomorrow night for the Babes in Biz meeting; it will be fun! and we've still got some of those mirrored Stella necklaces. : )
