the day finally came (crafty supermarket)

What an amazing experience! Ladybear (Rachael Smith) and I embarked on our first craft fair not exactly sure what to expect. Will people like us? Will we make any sales? Will we make some new friends? The answers are yes, yes and YES!

It surpassed my expectations. I made some great new connections, bought some amazing crafty goods from talented neighbors, and learned a great deal about vending and myself! The fact that my jewelry sold was just a footnote to it all!

Thanks so much to everyone that came out to support us! It absolutely means everything to me.

Here's some shots from our big day:

It's yellow!

The crowd lining up to get in early, and get their hands on the early bird swag bags.

This is our lovely assistant Rachel Scheller. She's the best!

Crafty Super Market

Yesterday was a big day for me. First off, I booked a cruise! More on that later. Secondly, Yellowberry (that's me) & her very good friend, Lady Bear Crafts (owned by dear friend, Rachael Smith—no relation), found out we have been selected for a duel booth in Cincy's very own Crafty Super Market!!!!!
Holy moley, do I have some work to do!

The two of us submitted an application weeks ago, and have been waiting with bated breath ever since. We're both so pleased, and so proud to be a part of such an independent, special event. I'll be selling my jewelry and accessories, and Rachael will be selling her uber adorable, hand-embroidered paper goods (think greeting cards and bookmarks and stuff). This is our very first time as vendors, so your support would be treasured! Also, you would have the chance to do some great shopping, and come away with some truly unique pieces.

Here's the skinny:
