Well, it's been quite a bit of time since my last blog post! My first craft fair was a huge success, and now that the holiday hoopla has well and truly passed, I'm game for another.
I took a bit of a break from sewing after the holidays, having made two twin comforter size rag quilts for my boys for Christmas. They came out beautifully, but with the many hours that went into them before the holiday, I needed a chance for a little sewing decompression afterwards.
I'm back in the saddle again and have been having so much fun making new products, and exploring new fabrics. I'd love for you to check it out!
I'll be at the Love Local Market at Get Baked in Windsor, CT this Sunday, February 22, 2015 from 1000am - 200pm, and I'm so looking forward to it.
I don't just view it as an opportunity to offer my handcrafted items, but also to connect personally with my customers. I love being able to talk to people, find out what they might use the items for, if they're purchasing a gift, if it's a treat for themselves...I just enjoy the conversation and the joy that comes of someone loving one of my creations enough to purchase it. There's no higher compliment than a completed sale and the warmth in someone's eyes when they're pleased with their purchase.
Although I always strive to offer a positive experience when people purchase from my Etsy shop, there's something much more personal about that face to face contact.
It's also an opportunity for me to meet other crafters, and I'm so excited to do so....and also concerned my wallet may suffer a little as a result. ;) There are many fine products being offered and I look forward to not just being a vendor, but a customer as well!
Feel free to stop by and say hello, and see some of my new designs. I'd love to meet you in person and show you the fun items Pumpkin Craft has to offer.
