Another Snow Day

Well, most people think it's spring, but here in "Big Snow Country," winter is still going strong. School was cancelled and we got a bunch of snow. I don't know exactly how much. It was really windy, so it drifted a lot in some places and some places were bare. In one part of our garage, where we put our shoes, something is messed up with the ridge vent, so when it is really windy and the wind is horizontal, the shoes get filled up with snow. That is the only place that snow comes in- right on the steps- right in the shoes. That will wake you up in the morning. My father-in-law came to plow, and he got stuck, so my husband went to go get him out with the skidsteer, and he got stuck. I stayed inside. Eventually, they got out. While I was inside, I got two phone calls, from two different ladies saying they wanted to buy some jewelry. They called me. How cool is that? I guess my promoting is paying off. I was more than obliging. And I think they will buy some more and tell their friends. Awesome. I also had some time to make some cool Tagua nut pendants. I love these because they are so earthy looking, but the colors are so vibrant.

Craft Show Countdown

Four days until my first craft show of the year. Am I ready? No flippin' way. I have no idea what to expect because I've never done this one before. I guess there are only about ten tables, so there certainly won't be a lot of competition. It's at a Snowmobile Fest, so I really have no idea what to expect. Perhaps people will buy out of boredom. I would certainly be bored at a snowmobile fest. There is a pancake feed during the craft show, I believe. I have to drive an hour to get there, so it better be worth my while. I'm bringing a larger quantity of my lower priced items; my $10-$15. I'm hoping that is the way to go. I'll bring some of the higher priced stuff, but I'll put out more of the lower priced items. I'll also be testing out my new display. I bought this three tiered thing for holding plates, but I'm going to use it for holding necklace boards. I hope it works and doesn't tip over. I've also got some neat chinese-knotted turquoise and Tagua Nut pendants that are really unique. Will they be too unique for Northern Wisconsin? We'll see.
