Here are my plans...
1. I'm super excited to go shopping at the Dallas Flea tomorrow. I hope I find some great handmade items! I will be snapping lots of pictures for another DallasMADE post too!
2. Re-reading my favorite craft business books, The Handmade Marketplace and Crafty Superstar. They both have a lot of great tips on being a first time seller at a craft fair. My mom has already looked through them and made some notes, but I really need to sit down and do the same!
3. Add these cute little bookplates to my book collection. It's like having my own library! :)
4. Bows, bows, bows. Always making bows.
For now, I'm just going to kick back with some yarn and reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. (Come on...I know you watch them too. They are ALWAYS on. It's very comforting. Haha!)
What are your plans for the weekend? Are fall craft shows popping up around your town too? You should definitely go!
i know what you mean about comforting shows! Everybody loves Raymond is one..and sometimes friends :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the flea market! The bay area one is coming up and I'm super excited to find stuff! even if i can't fit it in our tiny studio...
Have fun at the craft show. There aren't too many craft shows here in Charlottesville yet but there will be!
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves Raymond is never on over here, I think I've only watched one show! But if you replace that with That 70s show, for example, I would wholeheartedly agree! Have fun at the craft show dear :)

Glad to know I'm not the only one who finds that show comforting! It is for some odd unexplainable reason. ENJOY your weekend. They are precious :)
ReplyDeleteI will be sitting at home taking care of my newborn and knitting a robe for my other daughter!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading "The Handmade Marketplace" today- really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to spend my weekend working on my Etsy shop, finishing up season 2 of "Larkrise to Candleford", watching "Bright Star" from Netflix, reading, and practicing knitting in the round. :)

I hope I can just sit back and r.e.l.a.x. this weekend. Or if I get a burst of energy, do massive amounts of cleaning. I've been a ball of stress for NO REASON lately. Aggravating!
ReplyDeleteI have a run-a-mile-a-minute type of mind. Always thinking of what to do next, always having a new idea of some sort!
Have a LOOOOOOOVELY weekend, miss!
I saw that 'Handmade Marketplace' book at the store the other day and thought of getting it- is it good?

I just did a craft show last weekend. It was okay...I'm looking forward to doing more of the fall and winter fairs next year!
ReplyDeletei watch Everyone Loves Raymond..but i can not watch it to much because Raymond's family drives me insane. I am so thankful my in-laws are not like them. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the craft show!
I love the weekends so much it's disgusting. Probably unhealthy, too. But it makes like fun. ;)
ReplyDeleteI watch Everyone Loves Raymond often, too! It's kinda a family tradition.
Nah, it's My Name is Earl which is always on here! I've seen the same episodes seven or eight times but still find myself watching them...
ReplyDeleteOoh, I was eyeing up Crafty Superstar...
I have 'The Handmade Marketplace' as well, but have only just started reading it. So far so good though!
ReplyDeletesounds like a wonderful weekend to me! not too busy, but filled with just the right amount of comfort :) I've eyed both "the handmade marketplace" as well as "the crafty superstar" and just not known if i should order them... but i'm starting to think.. yes, maybe i should! great to see so many people are finding them uber helpful! have a lovely weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteI have the book Handmade Marketplacce too. IT's so good and helpful. xo, rv

ReplyDeleteI spotted the Handmade Marketplace in Borders before it started going out of business and I grabbed it up quick. Glad I did because I went in a week later and the whole stock of them were gone!
