Fall Festival

Ollie's school had a fall festival this week.  The kids got to dress up in their costumes.  Ollie was very excited about the entire thing and the evening.  Clara was excited, but got grouchy when we kept saying "You're too old for that."  Isabel was shy and scared and didn't want to participate in anything.  The next day Oliver was sick with food poisoning or 24 hour flu or something.  He was bummed to miss school, but knew he felt too awful to go.  He was better enough yesterday so we could attend our church fall picnic/pumpkin carving party (even though it was pouring rain and we had to carve on the front porch.)

Wholesale Stocking Order

I made an order of 18 stocking for a shop in California.  Click here  for their website.  Here's what I ended up with.

Busy

As you know my life gets very busy this time of year with my Etsy shop.  I just finished the street bazaar and am looking towards a farmer's market at the end of October.  Also, my items will be sold at The Beadery in Newton during November and December.  Aside from all this, I have special orders through Etsy.  Today I am posting one order that I just completed. 

A set of 6 red stocking with white initials on them:

Urban Street Bazaar

I had a great weekend selling at the Urban Street Bazaar in Oak Cliff this past weekend.  Damian was there to help me every step of the way.  Saturday the kids were at a baby-sitter's during the day and then with us in the evening and on Sunday.

I sold nearly 75% of my original goal, which I thought was a fairly loft goal.  I sold almost equal amounts on Saturday and Sunday, even though Sunday was half the time as Saturday.  I already have 2 special orders from the event and will hopefully get more.

I traded one of my neighbors a stocking and toddler dress for 3(one for each kid) really cool T-shirts.  Clara bought a super cool feather hair accessory, Ollie bought a blue ring made from a tagua seed, and Izzy bought a pink bracelet also from tagua seeds.  We ate delicious empanadas while we were there.  Clara danced to the DJ's music and they all enjoyed watching and petting all the many dogs that walked by.  It was an awesome scene for people watching.  I wish someone could have been taking pictures of the people buying my stuff!
