Kids Mittens and Gloves Bulk Buy Offer (now through November 15th)

I have been getting a lot of email asking me about my mittens and gloves that I have been doing for my craft fairs.  I will be putting in a bulk buy for these items and am offering them to anyone who would like to purchase some.  They will be available to purchase by the dozen so the minimum order would be one dozen mittens or gloves.  The cost would be $10/dozen plus shipping.  I will be shipping orders out priority mail and can give you shipping costs after you let me know how many dozen mittens/gloves you would like to purchase. 

If you missed the posts on the gloves and mittens, you can see them here:

The mittens are for infant/toddler size hands and the gloves are for toddler to early elementary school sized hands. 

Please note that these mittens/gloves come assorted with more black than colors.  Each package varies somewhere between 6-8 pairs of black with 4-6 colored pairs.  You will be ordering by the dozen and will get one dozen assorted.  I will not be breaking up packages or checking the packages to ship certain styles/colors to anyone. 

If you would like to order some mittens/gloves, please email me the following information:

• Your name and mailing address (for USPS priority mail)
• Phone number (in case I have questions/problems and need to contact you directly)
• Email address (in case I have questions/problems and need to contact you directly)
• How many dozen assorted kids mittens you would like?
• How many dozen assorted kids gloves you would like?
• The email address your paypal account is tied to so I can send you a paypal invoice.

Once I receive the information above, I will send an email to you via paypal.  (Please be sure to give the correct email address that is tied to your paypal account so I can send the invoice to you properly and without problems for processing.)  I will only be accepting payments through paypal for this order to make things easier and to complete the orders in a timely fashion.

ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th.  ALL PAYPAL INVOICES WILL BE SENT OUT TO YOU AND MUST BE PAID BY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH AT NOON.  I WILL BE PLACING THE BULK BUY ORDER ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th WITHOUT EXCEPTION SO BE SURE YOU ORDER EARLY AND PAY YOUR PAYPAL INVOICE ONCE YOU RECEIVE IT.

Remember - Friday, November 13th is the last day for you to order these gloves/mittens from me so be sure to order as soon as you know how many you would like to purchase.

Wedding Gift

As most of you know, my niece was married this weekend out in Oregon.  I made this for her as a special wedding gift from me to her.

Her wedding colors were coral for the bridesmaids and chocolate for the maid of honor so I made an album that color coordinated.  This is a Stampin' Up! Mellow Moss linen album (6x6) that I have stenciled on using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink.  I let the image dry slightly before adding some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint with a sponge dauber over the stencil.  You can see the sparkle to the cover if you look closely.  I tied on a piece of Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon and added their names and date in the corner with a fabric marker.

The inside pages are all complete pages where she just pops in her pictures and has a completed wedding album in no time!  I really hope she likes it!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Sneak Peak of a Wedding Gift

Tomorrow (Saturday, October 24th), my niece, Elle is getting married in Oregon.  My husband, daughter and son all flew out for the wedding.  Stephanie went on Tuesday to help out with things this week.  She is also in the wedding.  Darryl and Cody are in the air as I am typing this post. 

Since I couldn't make the wedding, I made a special gift just for Elle.  Now, I can't show you the entire thing until she receives it, but I would like to give you a sneak peak of what part of it looks like.

This surprise gift uses stencils, craft ink and the new Shimmer Paints from Stampin' Up!  I love these new paints and have been having a BLAST with them.  All my customers that have seen them so far love them and have ordered them too.

Stay tuned in the next day or two I will share the full project with you.  I just don't want to spoil the surprise for Elle by posting here before she gets it.  It is traveling on the plane with Darryl and he will deliver my gift directly to her when he sees her tomorrow.  Can't wait to hear what she thinks of it!

Don't forget to stop by the Gilfeather Turnip Festival tomorrow.  I will be there from 10 am until 4 pm!

Stay tuned for more tomorrow,

Craft Fair - Gilfeather Turnip Festival - Saturday, October 24

Are you ready for another craft fair?  I am!  I will be at the Gilfeather Turnip Festival in Wardsboro, VT on Saturday, October 24th from 10 am until 4 pm inside the Town Hall. 

The craft fair is on the second floor and there will be a farmer's market and food vendors on the first floor.  Across the street in the library barn will be food tastings that were made with the Gilfeather Turnip.  The cookbook will be for sale and there will be turnip soup served for lunch.  There will be turnips for sale and even a turnip contest.  There is even a turnip contest where they will be judging the biggest turnip, the tiniest turnip, the ugliest, etc.  We have a HUGE turnip being entered into the contest again this year.  Let's see what place it takes:)) 

If you have never been to the Gilfeather Turnip Festival before, you should come and check it out.  It is a really fun day - especially if you come and see me up at the craft fair!!:))

Hope to see you there!

Birthday Update...

I was so excited to come downstairs this morning and make my way to my spot at the dining room table.  That is where our family leaves things for each other for our birthday, special occasion or just because.  I couldn't wait to see what was waiting for me. 

Much to my surprise, I saw some familiar shaped boxes and got very excited.  I also had a card from my hubby waiting there too.  I always open my cards first - don't know why, I just do.  Next to my card were three Pandora boxes.  I couldn't wait to open them up to see what was inside. 

So, I opened the small one first.  it was a little white box with a Pandora ribbon tied nicely around it.  Inside were 4 spacer beads for my bracelet.  Darryl had picked them out for me and were from him and the kids.  They were the spacers with the dangling charms hanging from them.  He got a pearl (his birthstone), a ruby (our kids birthstone - July) and a pink one (my birthstone).  He also got a dangling heart that was just from him to me.  In a larger red box I had a pumpkin orange multi gem bead in there - I love fall colors and lately have been nuts over spiced pumpkin and mustard colors!  Darryl knew I liked that color and got that bead as well. 

My daugther, Stephanie (who just landed in Oregon yesterday to be in my niece's wedding on Saturday) had left a box with hubby that had two clip beads in it.  She originally got me my Pandora bracelet for Mother's Day in May along with one glass Murano bead.  I still only had one bead on it until this morning.  Pretty cool, huh?!

I guess I know what I will be wearing today!

Hope you all have a great day today!

Happy Birthday to Me:))

That's right, I am 29 years old today (Wednesday, October 21st).....again:))  Ok, so I am not REALLY 29 today.  Don't think I plan on telling my real age eithe...LOL

Why don't you leave a comment telling us what your favorite birthday memory or tradition is?  I like a nice dinner out with my family.  I am not a fan of traditional birthday cake and would prefer something like tiramisu (my fav!), apple crisp, cheesecake or brownies...not cake.

Have a great day!

Pumpkin Festival, Townshend, VT

The Pumpkin Festival in Townshend, VT is coming up on Saturday, October 17th from 9 am - 3 pm.  If you are in the area, stop on by and see me.  I will have some of the things I shared with you here on line for sale - the magnetic Dress Up Kits, little mittens and gloves, scarves, packaged jewelry items, handcrafted cards, etc.

IF the weather is nice (which it doesn't sound like it will be), I will be going to the Wilmington Antique and Flea Market on Sunday.  That is the last day of the Flea Market until the spring so I am hoping I can go for just one more time!

Hope to see you Saturday!

Wilmington Antique and Flea Market - Stop on by...

I was at the Wilmington Antique and Flea Market again today and plan on being there again tomorrow (Sunday).  If you are in the neighborhood, stop on by to see me.  I am on the left, by the fence, as soon as you pull in the driveway.  I am the 3rd booth in from the driveway.

I had a very good day today despite all the wind and the sprinkles in the afternoon.  I finally put up the sides of my tent around 1 pm which helped a lot.  I really don't like being so confined inside a tent, but today it was necessary.  Of course, I had to scrample to rearrange everything since I had all my tables and displays facing outside when I didn't have the sides on.  I had to turn the tables and everything around and redisplay some items but it worked out just fine.  I think that I will just leave the sides on for tomorrow (just in case) so there is no scrambling throughout the day. 

Everyone LOVED the little gloves and mittens that I brought today.  I sold so many of them that I had to come home and make some more tonight.  The little red and blue glove sets that I showed you yesterday were two of the first to go.  I had some flower sets and a butterfly set sell today as well.  It was really fun to watch the kids' faces light up when they saw the gloves and mittens and try to decide which pair they wanted!  I really wish I had my camera!!

Here is the pair that was the real eye catcher today.  Little girls were running up toward the booth to take a look!

Hope you can stop by tomorrow,

Happy Fall

I LOVE this time of year.  I love the crispness in the air, the fall colors, the color of the leaves, scarecrows, pumpkins and mums.  If you ask me the season is just way too short.

Today I thought I would share my decorations that you see when you come up our deck and head toward our front door.

 

The bench is something that my mom gave me as a gift many, many years ago.  It was recently sanded and refinished after we painted our house and we put it right back in the spot it has been sitting in.  I added my cute little wooden scarecrow and a basket of artificial mums that I usually put inside my house.  These decorations have actually been on my deck for about 10 days now.  Today I added the two pumpkins that came from hubby's garden.  I have three more pumpkins on the landing of the steps as you come up to the deck too.

Anyway, I will be at the Wilmington Antique and Flea Market all day today and again tomorrow so i thought I would share this for today. 

I hope that you are all having a fabulous Columbus Day weekend!

Thanks for stopping by again today!
