Saturday morning I woke before the sun.
I had claimed a spot by the highway to set up
On comming traffic heading to the Sea-Food Fest would spot
my table quickly.
I managed to slurp one cup of coffee and then set up.
I was also prepared by way of reading material
to keep myself entertained while I waited for the
crowds of people that were to come!
I could not have asked for better weather!!
It was cool and a breeze.
That breeze it what did me in later how-ever.
These were made last year as well.. more on the blue/spring side
 |
| Just another view of some last year stuff |
 |
| I'm not sure what the deal is with the side view but you can see the halloweeny witchy shoes and some other black and scary stuff |
 |
| Another weird side view of a print I put together |
 |
| I am sorry for the side view... your going to get a crick in your neck.. I love this print and the saying. As you can see I adore glitter and more glitter |
 |
| This is more like it..one of my halloweeny ideas..dollar tree spanish moss...fuufuu yarn and black ribbon and those dazzling looking skulls!! |
 |
| Another awesome view of my skulls encases in glass. I found some cool fake hands too embelish these with as well. More fuufuu stuff. I had some black glittery material that I also tore into strips for a rough/shabby look. Walmart also had some cool spider ribbon on the cheap. |
 |
| The black angel says "don't let my looks fool you I'm a total bitch!" I embelished with plastic bugs..dotted black ribbon and more feathers from the Dollar tree. The candles came from the store buck store too. |
 |
| Three views of a bottle I embellished. I love the skull corkscrew! You can see the sweet black torn materail used as a ribbon. The broach was a sweet cheap dollar tree find.. I think it was a pin at one time.. |
 |
| I loved this...but the wind snatched it and crashed it to the ground. The glass is thin but it was sooo pretty!! I used torn segmants of sheer organza material left over from a wedding project. Beatiful as ribbon and so cocoa shabby! |
 |
| Another crick your neck picture!! It says "Witches adore Pink." I made a pink glitter witch hat for her and embellished with fake bugs and ofcourse pink/purple glitter |
 |
| a last yer project...the book is about Vampires ofcourse! |
 |
| a bit crocket looking but it is unique. cool to look at |

 |
| Nuff said! |

 |
| I love this...cute right? |
 |
| she reads "Y...who made you queen for the day! I should have put a crown on her head but I did not have one in my stash...should have printed one but I ran out of time. These books were .25 cents each last year so I purchase tons of them and re-embellished. Thery were origiionally christmas books |
 |
| Sorry folks but I love this b.tchy witch!! I made her a hat too! |

 |
| last year project |
Well after all!! of this... guess what!!! I did not sell ONE item...NO Not One!!!
I blame it on the fact that I should have rented a more strategic location...Flea-Mall??
The wind hurt me because she kept knocking some of my stuff around and I ended up
losing one of my fave peices to the wind. I packed up after that.
I did not get devasted about the lack of response...(5 people pulled in and pulled out without ever
getting out of their car!!). Oh well
I realalize my goods need a more permanent spot for exposure and without the elements and damage
incurred from packing and repacking stuff. I was tired but...not totally discouraged.
I did not stay as long either because I knew most people in the afternoon would
be broke from buying at the sea-food fest. I took this as a learing experience.
However...do any of ya'll have any suggestions? I am open to any input you wish to
share...good or bad...
