It's Craft Fair Time

People from far and wide are beginning to arrive in this area of the country for a week/weekend FULL of craft shows. I can't even think of how many we have in this area starting tomorrow... a lot... I do know that. They all center around War Eagle - a HUGE 4 day show surrounding beautiful War Eagle Mill. This is no quaint craft show, this thing is a city in itself. People, lots and lots of people, wait at the gates each morning until the show opens and then they rush in for the kill.

Me, I prefer a show where people don't have to fight to see the booths, I prefer the Bella Vista Arts and Crafts Festival. This is their 41st year as a festival and I'm very excited to participate again. It was a great show last year, busy, but not so much that it killed me. It's also large enough to pull in some serious shoppers and create a traffic jam miles and miles long. It's also outdoors... I think that is important to get people into the mood to buy scarves and yarn for the winter!

So if you in the NWArkansas area, come on over to the Bella Vista Arts and Crafts Festival Thursday, October 15 - Saturday, October 17 and come find me and my sister. We'd love to see you!

Great bunting! Do you have more pictures of your cute booth?

Love Halloween... my husband proposed to me on Halloween night, and for 6 years it was our anniversary. Of course we finally got married on a different date, so now it's in December.

Have a great holiday!

Hey Pentalia - there are some pictures of my booth over at my Flickr account. You can link to there from my site (at the right hand side tool bar).

Thanks!

Oh - and Pentalia, my boyfriend and I started dating just 2 days before Halloween, so it's our anniversary time too... until we get married :)
