The KC Etsy Trunk Show . . .

Well, last night was the Kansas City Etsy Trunk Show! It was only my second public venue for selling my felted goodies. The atmosphere was really nice, and it was a great opportunity to meet several local Etsy sellers. Thanks to Janay of abstractpretty on Etsy for organizing the local event.

Overall, I count the event as a success because of the great local exposure, chance to learn, and opportunity to meet other Kansas City artists and crafters. Honestly, I didn't sell very much, but it is a hard sell for woolly items in 100 degree weather here so I'm not too disappointed. I hope to participate in more and more local and national events like this one in the future!

Here's some photos of my booth display which, admittedly, needs a little tweaking to look better. My husband built the wonderful hat display and scarf rack, but I'm still working on the layout and color scheme. There's also more photos of my table display and the event on my flickr account if you'd like to see.

I'm a Strange Folk . . . uh, vendor!

I'm so thrilled to have been accepted as a vendor at the Strange Folk Festival in O'Fallon, Illinois, just outside of St. Louis. It is on Saturday, September 22nd from 10 a.m.- 6p.m. at Community Park. I'll be in a felt making frenzy in preparation for the festival! If you are in that area or up for a road trip, mark it on your calendars and be sure to attend. Come by my booth, browse the felted goodness, and introduce yourself. There will be almost 100 vendors with unique, modern handmade items of all kinds. Check out the vendor list to see what wonderful artists and crafters will be there to sell their goodies. I'm sure it will be a good time full of shopping, food, and fun!
