Art Show in Glens Falls, NY this weekend

It was a BEAUTIFUL day to spend outside in downtown Glens Falls today.  We really enjoyed ourselves at the show.  It was fun to see a lot of friends and to make new ones.  Jessica from Rosebud Johnnies shared space with us and it worked great.  She is about to list some of her fantastic bags on her ETSY site along with all her great kids hats, quilts and other fun stuff.  She has a wonderful color sense and started sewing along with me a few months back.  She is great at making all kinds of bags.  
We sold a ton of scrabble tiles and were thrilled to find a lot of customers return from previous craft shows.  It is so fun to have people come to the booth and say, "I have been hoping you would be here. . ."  
Hammered sterling silver disc.
We sold a lot of our chunky initial necklaces and are reminded what a wonderful gift item these are.  Our goal is to get our act together enough to approach some local stores about carrying them.  They flew off the bottles today.  Speaking of bottles, we received ALOT of questions and offers for my hand blown glass bottles that we display some of our necklaces on.  I got them here and LOVE them.
Darcy in shop girl mode.  It was great having another body in the booth, so when one of needed a break we were all set.  I never left the booth, which saved us lots of money!  I plan to venture out if we hit a slow patch on Sunday.
Lots of fun wired wrapped earrings . . . from the semi-precious stone purchase from India.
Pigtails, Pigtails, Pigtails
First time having key fobs in the booth and they were a big hit.  We will make sure to make lots of them for future shows.
Czech Glass earrings, we are loving these!
Wire wrapped topaz.
The talented Jessica of Rosebud Johnnies!
Close up of her awesome bags.  I will have to post some shots showing the whole bags, but wanted to show the wonderful crystals!
Who doesn't want a little bling on their bag?
Off to sleep, so we can get going early and hopefully have time for a STARBUCKS, this Seattle transplant needs her fix!

Finally have finished a napkin project

18" square napkins with the new Jennifer Paganelli Pretty Please fabric line for Free Spirit turned out so fun and practical. Picked up the fabric at my favorite quilt store, KC Custom Fabrics, they have great colorways in this line.  I love how they turned out and wish I didn't make them to give away!  Paired with a lovely tray from Target and a fun acrylic bowl for summer salads, this turned into a fun gift for my husband's mother.  I used three prints and a yard and a half of each fabric yielded 9 mix and match napkins.  They will be fun to use poolside this summer!
Shots of the napkins straight out of the machine.  After sewing them together I topstitched close to the edge and then also an inch off the edge.   Used the edge foot for the first time and LOVE it!  I think I will really like the size much better than the 13" square that I made before, which were really just an odd size for a napkin.  Thrilled with these.
Took a picture of each of the kids and put it onto a scrabble tile as well.  Sealed, glazed, etc and then attached a magnet.   In the large slider tin, they make a super cute gift.
Also made a her a scrabble pendant with photos and a sterling silver chain.  It is hard to wear all of them at once, but perhaps she can wear them on the kids birthdays, etc.
Here are the 9 finished napkins - aren't they fun?
