Big and Little Craft Fairs

Hey there!  How's everybody?


This weekend was a big craft weekend for me.  On Friday afternoon, a friend and I went to the American Craft Council Show at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Elena Rosenberg of Tickled Pink Knits
We've gone for the past 3 years together and have a really good time.  This year's show was so much better than the last.  There were many more exhibitors and the fibre arts were well represented.  I saw a couple of booths with knitted items but only 1 booth that had crochet and it was actually wire jewelry.  The gal with the jewelry was talking to another customer so I really didn't get to talk to her or even grab a card.  I was so disappointed.  I have been trying to remember her name but it's just not happening.  I did drool at Elena Rosenberg's booth for her shop "tickled pink".  She had some really gorgeous things.

That was the big craft fair.  As for the little, well that is on Saturday, March 31st at our local high school.  This will be my second craft fair and I've been working on baby blankets, purses and teddy bears.  I was greatly inspired by many booths at the convention center and I'm keeping it much more simple this time around.  I also started a Pinterest board  to help me keep track of things I've seen online that I really to keep in mind.  I keep seeing banners (or bunting as it's also called) in booths online so I decided to crochet  some for mine.  Here's some of the latest items.



Thanks for stopping by again.  Hope you have a great crochet day!
