Craft Fairs Anyone?

Is anyone going to the craft fairs in NWA next week(end)?

Dian and I thought about attending, but it doesn't look like its gonna work out for us.  Wish we could, though.

Darn! Well, I'll be out there selling stuff! My love of crafts is taking over my house so I have got to get rid of some of them and hopefully make a little money considering how much I've spent. Darn hobbies!

What kind of crafts do you make?   I do some pen turning as a hobby.   Lot's of fun, but I know I spend more on it than I make selling them.   Hope you have a good and productive show.

I make dried fruit garlands. Most people don't know what that is so I shall explain. I ahve variations of apples and cinnamon, orange spice and then an orchard variety.

Apples & Cinnamon: Alternating Apple Slices and Cinnamon stars
Orange Spice: Alternating Orange Slices and Cinnamon Stars
Orchard: Alternating Apple Slices, Orange Slices and Bay Leaves

They all smell wonderful and I have a few that are garland and a few that are wreaths. I do add some oils to make them smell slightly stronger than their natural scent, but the ones on display in my house are not scented. They smell so good without any added scent. Anyways...I ahve mine suspended on a dowel rod over my kitchen window with hanging baskets, garlic ropes and peppers.

I'm also an independent consultant for a company that makes wickless, smokeless, flameless candles. I will have my samples on display for ordering or booking parties!

We went to WarEagle last year..  Love it!  Maybe we can go next year..

I go to War Eagle (etc) every year EXCEPT for last year (when I had just had my surgery) and this year (my mom just had her surgery). 

I still haven't put up everything I got 2 years ago - so I might not even go next year if I still have that stuff sitting on the top of my fridge.  (Isn't that TERRIBLE???  I've got some beautiful stuff sitting up there!)

I know! I always buy so much stuff at the craft fairs because they have some of the greatest and unique things. I lvoe buying christmas decorations at craft fairs.

Where is it?

All over Northwest Arkansas. War Eagle is out 412 East. They are holding an indoor fair at the John Q Hammonds Center in Rogers. The Jones Center in Springdale has vendors. There will be vendors setup all along 412(I will be on 412 just past Hometown, before the turn off to War Eagle Mill at a saddle shop). There is more, I can't think of all of them. There is one out 16 somewhere(which is closer to me, but I always attend War Eagle and I think they have the best vendors so I gravitate towards that area).
