2012 Children's Crafts Fair

A success!  We sold many things--it rained just a little!  A fun crafts fair--lots of wonderful homemade crafts--to see to buy and to trade.

A Few Things We'll be Selling on August 4th

Pressed flowers and a few other crafts we'll be selling at this year's Children's Craft Fair.  If you're in the area come by the Los Osos Library.  The selling starts at 11am, but come a little earlier if you can.

I'll try to take more pictures the day of the fair, but I may not have time--we'll see--and maybe we'll see you there!

The Children's Crafts Fair 2011

It's kind of funny to see all that we've been working on, all that was recently spread from one side of our living room to the other, in a compact little pile ready to be transported.

Behind the scenes--the backs of the action figures and of course duck tape and safety pins.

For $1.50 you could have your portrait drawn and framed by my granddaughter--great deal!!

I'm not too sure this little guy liked his portrait, but he was a good sport about it.

It only lasted two hours, we sold most of what we made except for the action figures--the fair goers missed out on the genius of those action finger figures--but, two cool skate boarding girls bought a couple of sets--they were seen later skating down the side walk with their newly purchased figures in their back pockets.

Ready

We're about ready for the craft fair tomorrow! The action figure finger puppets are at attention.
I hope to be able to take a few pictures of the event.

Preparing

My granddaughter and I have been busy preparing for the children's craft fair--held on July 30th, 10:30am to about noon, at the Los Osos Library (for those of you who are in the area) Crafts for pennies or quarters, but very very affordable, ridiculously affordable for the amount of work involved--I've been my granddaughter's taskmaster, but I admit to doing quite a bit of the menial work--she is the artistic director. We'll be selling paper twirlies, magic elastic button strings, pinwheels, pipe cleaner dolls and a few other crafts. I'll post more about this with more pictures of the other crafts.
