Stuffing the Box for Craft Fairs

Craft fair season is fast approaching so I am "stuffing the card box" to get ready.  Here are just a few of what you can find at the Chapelle Craft Fair in Metairie, LA on Sept. 26, 2015.

September Craft Fair 2014

My brother-in-law made this screen to display my greeting cards at the craft fair.  Love it.

First Time Ever I Made a Gingerbread House

My friend, Terrice, had a couple of us ladies over to her house to make gingerbread houses.   She has been making them for years and likes to help teach others how to do it.  She made the gingerbread from scratch and had most of the candies too.
I saw on Pinterest where a gingerbread roof was made out of mini shredded wheat and trees were made out of ice cream cones so that is what I bought.  Terrice did all the frosting mixing and kept us moving along.  After 2 days of decorating and 2 days of drying my gingerbread house was ready to come home.   The weather was humid so it took extra drying time.

I was able to enjoy it for two days then I had an overnight stay at my Mama's while I was setting up for St. Rita's craft fair.  The craft fair was a big success with a few orders to fill afterwards too.  Here a few of the items I made.

Then to my dismay when I came home the humidity got the best of my gingerbread house.

Craft Fair Displays

This past weekend my sister and I had a booth at our high school alma mater to sell our crafts.  We call ourselves Sisters' Creations.  Here are a few pictures of our booth display.

St. Rita Craft Fair Pictures

Another successful craft fair and social event with my sister.   We don't judge our success by how much money we make but how many laughs we share.

My nephew came too.

Last Chance Before Christmas Craft Fair

The second annual St. Rita (in Harahan, LA) Arts & Craft fair is this Saturday, Dec. 10, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. where I'll be selling my handmade greeting cards and my sister, Andree, will be selling her hand-crocheted baby blankets. We'd love to see you there. Here is a sneak peak of a few cards that will be on sale for $2 each. If you buy 5 cards then you'll get 1 free.

Now for a peek at some of the many crocheted baby blankets with ribbons and hats.   They are so soft.

If you missed seeing my DS and I at last weekend's craft fair then here are a few pictures for you.

 Also we saw our cousin selling these new fun items at the same craft fair.
