Last Saturday was the Gathered Treasures Christmas Show, held here in Mansfield, Ohio! Here's a picture of my helper and our booth at the beginning of the show. I swear, I think he's doing sudoku ~ or maybe he was counting out my change!!
Our friends, Vivian and Lou Schomburg had the booth next to us ~ they make all kinds of boxes and shelves and file cabinets and television cabinets, etc. ~ I could go on and on! We divided 3 spaces between us ~ a booth and a half each ~ it worked out swell! Then we went out to eat after packing up ~ we always laugh and have a good time!! We love doing shows ~ well, a couple of us do!
This is Sherry Davis' friend ~ don't know where Sherry was when I was taking pictures of her booth ~ she always has such interesting things. Eclectic ~ that's what she is and that's what she sells ~ you know what I mean! Actually, Sherry is pretty eclectic herself!
I thought this was a great looking booth, too. There were about 35 of us ~ lots of primitive antiques and folk art. I was a little concerned as to what I might sell as I don't have holiday things or gift type items ~ but bless those rug hookers' hearts ~ they shopped!! Thank you one and all!
Friend Lauren was there ~
Rugs and Pugs is her blog ~ and she just happened to have one of her silver spoon necklaces with her! We made a nice trade of wool for a necklace ~ she has them for sale on her blog ~ you can contact her thru there! I see lots of my hooker friends wearing these so I was glad to get one!
Last evening, I updated my
website ~ namely, the pattern pages. I mailed out some yesterday and decided I need to mark "Sold" on what is gone (but I can order them if you'd like one) and added pictures of all the Liberty Homestead patterns that I have. These patterns are primitive and folk arty (if that's a word) and some are small if you want a quick project to hook for a friend or yourself. This small Rooster pattern is one of them ~
I also added the Sauder Rug Week class to my Classes page ~ and I was happy to hear from a gal today that has signed up herself and her friend!! Yay!
That's all for today ~ I was outside for a while cleaning up the garden ~ still some out there to put on the compost pile ~ hope I'm not still out there when the snow flies!! Off to pick up Miss Luci from the bus ~ she doesn't know it but we're going to make banana bread!! She'll like that ~ especially when she gets to take home a loaf! Have a good evening ~ a friend just called and invited us out for dinner ~ my evening just got better!!!!
