the craft mafia sets up shop

Take 6 other people I've met, in person, a maximum of 3 times in my life.
cram us all into a 10'x10' space for 7 hours.
half of us are operating on little to no sleep (another is pregnant).
throw in about an hour of rain, in addition to a sunburn;
and add the above to a sparsely populated, badly publicized, ill-attended craft fair.


it's obvious what happened, right?


IT WAS GREAT!!!! I had a fabulous time, and I'm pretty sure everyone else did too. I'm so impressed by everyone's stuff, but honestly I'm even more impressed by how well we get along. Sure, there were only a few customers, but that just gave us more time to chat. Here are some items I was selling:



screen printed notecards

glass coasters--note the l'oiseau tags!!!

Here is a picture Veronica took of me while I was making pricetags (see how classy I am with the pen hanging out of my mouth...)

I bought that chair at Kmart on friday and let me tell you, that sh*t is comfy. I even fell asleep for a while during the rain. and look: I am also wearing a dress that I made.

All in all, I would say that the craft fair was successful. Considering how few people walked down the street, we sold a fair (haha) number of items. The best part, however, was how much fun we had.
