~Craft Show Finds~

Hi everyone!
I wanted to show you my finds from the worst craft show I've ever been to! There were like no sellers...so now I know not to go to the fall one that they have, now the one they have on December 6th is always crowded with sellers and customers, maybe I got mixed up about them.lol All the sellers had nice things but just not much to look at if you know what I mean, I got the first two things there then we left and went to the Crafters Showcase where I got the rest.
As I said in my last post Michael was home and knew that I was leaving to go to Michele's to go to the craft show, he gave me money and said "get Corrie some things" so I had alot of fun doing that:) I thought she would like this light because you could use it anywhere, excuse the table Sam and Syd were here playing with my stuff:) If it fit you could use it on your kitchen counter, or in the bathroom, away from water of course,or bedroom or livingroom. Next I found her a small bushel basket that she might use for her Country Sampler magazines (Corrie stayed in Maryland because Michael wanted to get here in time for Nick's game and Corrie doesn't get home from work until later) or whatever she wanted to do with it. The towel I bought her at the Crafters Showcase it was handmade. One lady there I always buy from because she hand does everything:)
I bought this from the same lady for my bathroom to put on something that I'm painting for in there:)

I thought he was cute to maybe put with my other black cats or maybe put somewhere different and I also needed the little country tablet so bad.



This was a neat find for $5.00, she only had two left and I said to her "that I bet she sold alot of them" and she said with a smile"yes I only have two left", she had them stuck in a bale of hay!



So that's where I have him...I thought it was a neat idea and for a crafter a guaranteed sale, don't you think? I just remembered that I forgot to take a picture of something else I bought, I'll include it in tomorrows post:)



When I saw Beth's at My "Prim" Cottage, terra cotta pumpkins I remembered that I had bought some at yardsales in the spring so I found them and put them in their places:)




Of course Stush brings down from the attic a plastic pumpkin that lights up,lol, but I guess you have to compromise even on Halloween decorating.



Here is a corner in my diningroom, I moved the shutter from by the computer to next to my dry sink and hung some black ticking (which I still have to grunge) and a neat tin pumpkin! I don't know why there are marks on the lens but maybe it is just dirty and needs cleaned...or it could be GHOSTS?


I hope you are having a great Sunday night with family, friends or just you and your DH which will be me:)

  17. Everything looks great, Rondell. I would love to spend someone else's money for a change. LOL!

    I enjoyed the sneek peak into your home. I hope you post more pictures of it.

    Thanks for your kind comments on my blog today too. I guess I was feeling a bit melancholy (sp?) today. Feeling better now though.

  24. Okay, I'm back...How in the world did you get the photos by your blogroll of each blog? That is the coolest thing ever! Love it!
    Now if this is something everyone knows about and I'm just clueless please forgive me-I tend to be a little slow on some computer things! :)
    But I do love it!

I had to laugh when I read your post...I went to a huge craft show once, I drove 1 1/2 hours to get there...looked at all the booths...and realized I was at a CHURCH CONVENTION...I was at the wrong convention center!! Hahaha, I love church but I wanted a CRAFTS SHOW!!!!
    Blessings,

  30. you have no idea how much I enjoyed looking at your cosy gorgeous home!! thank you so much for sharing it with us here.

    I do have a silly Q re stitching....
    1. how do you get the pattern onto the material?
    2. do you use 2 strands or three strands or more of dmc floss when embroidering/stitching on the pattern?

    sorry to bother you about this but your stitches are just out of this world!
