Trick or Treat...

Here are photos of the "Trick or Treat" Halloween Paper Bag Album I just listed in my Etsy shop...

And I was lucky enough to have the talented Hope Wallace Karney of Paper Relics (www.paperrelics.com) stop by my Junk Bonanza booth and commission one of my paper bag albums with her motto "Strength in Grace" on the cover. I didn't want to post all the pictures of the album on my blog since I want Hope to be a little surprised when she receives her package!

Happy Crafting!

Now what...

Well, I survived Junk Bonanza! It was so much fun and so exhausting at the same time but it's something I will definitely do again...but with a "booth" space next time. I met some really wonderful vendors and some fun and crazy "junkers", it was definitely an exciting three days.

This is Ki Nassauer (who really needs no inroduction), me and the oh-so-fabulous Jane of Mustard Moon after the bonanza closed Saturday. (How come they don't look tired like I do?) I have to say that Jane always has such wonderful junk that her booth looked wiped out by 10:30 Thursday morning! We were literally so busy that I didn't have time to take pictures of the booths around me until around 4:00 on the last day so they look much emptier and not quite as fantastic as they had on Thursday. These pics are of the view from my table..."How Quaint" to my left...

and "Itsy Bits and Pieces" to my right. In front of me were the very fun "Picket Fence Gals" but their booth was so cleaned out by Sat afternoon that I didn't bother with taking a photo. Here are Sebastian and I posing behind my table of goods, we really had it piled on there! I exceeded my expectations with sales so all-in-all it was a huge success. I only have one paper bag album left which has alread been promised to one of my best Etsy customers but the goodies that did not sell will be listed in my store in the upcoming days. Now what am I going to do??? I guess I'd better start looking for space to rent!

Halloween Tiny Book...

I know it's only September but I couldn't resist making a Halloween tiny book in time for Junk Bonanza...it's up for sale right now my Etsy shop . I've decided to put my Etsy shop on "vacation mode" during Junk Bonanza since everything I have listed there will also be for sale in my booth.
Anything and everything that doesn't sell at Junk Bonanza will be listed in my Etsy shop on Sunday...but I've got my fingers crossed in hopes that EVERYTHING will be GONE! Wish me luck!

Final Table...

And this is my final table of goodies for Junk Bonanza.

I hope I come home with an empty truck (or at least with only the goodies I purchase from other vendors!)
