Finally in stores...!

This last week I began my first retail experience with my bulletin boards. There are two large 24"x24" boards at my store (my Aunt Glady's shop and where I work), Reinertson's Embroidery that are being displayed in the front windows. I also brought two to the Heart of the Artichoke, a little antique and consignment shop here in Albert Lea where they will be used to display fliers and business cards and are for sale as well. I am so excited about this venture because I want to share my creations with my local community. What a better way than to showcase them inside wonderful local small businesses? I can't think of a better way! Of course I am still taking special orders, so let me know what lovely little thing I can put together for you!

Our first craft show of the season...











I just downloaded these photos of my table last weekend and wanted to share them, as well as pictures of the gift I made for Amanda.

A new infusion of color!



















I've been crafting up a storm these days, waiting for baby, and have made some really unique new creations. I love them all, I've been walking around the house looking for a place to put another one! We spent last Saturday at a show in Alexandria and had a lot of fun despite the meager turn-out. There are a few shows this fall that should be fun as well, so we have a lot on the craft show agenda. I am getting so excited about getting my name out there because I so love when clients call me and have new creative ideas for me. Wrapping up and sending a gift for someone is so much fun! I love this job! I just hope I have enough business to keep it going! Here are some pics of the newest additions to my collection...
