I Survived Craft Fair #2

Last weekend I did my second craft fair (in Edgerton). In case anyone couldn't tell by the fact that I've been MIA on any and all social networking sites for the last few weeks, I was a bit busy getting ready. Translated that means, running around like a crazy chicken with my head cut off. But I made it. And I even made some money. Of course, I didn't have nearly as much stuff made as I wanted to/should have, so I didn't make nearly as money as I wanted to/should have. But I did make a small profit after covering my entry fee. And Justin and I had a nice relaxing (ie. kid-free) day together manning my booth. The weather was beautiful and the park where the craft fair was held was very nice. I sold some of my fabulous peppermint bath salts, a cute and cool girl's poncho, one of the water bottle holders I'm so proud of, and a whole bunch of beaded elastic bracelets. Some of my stuff is for sale online at http://www.rainwaterlily.etsy.com/, and I'm hoping to get some of my left over items from the craft show listed soon. If you've got a gift-giving occasion (birthday, baby shower, wedding) coming up and you're looking for something unique for that special someone, drop me a line and I can help with ideas and custom orders. Now I've just got to apply for my next craft show, get more stuff made, and work on getting my freelance writing business off the ground - never a dull moment!
