The first purchases made at the Holiday Hodgepodge this year were our Little Bucky Buddies. My 2 favorite ones walked out with the first 2 customers!! I almost wanted to take them away, but I knew they were going to good homes. One was headed to a condo in the Keys! How can I complain about that?! We've done several custom orders since the Hodgepodge. That is the fun part --making something just for that certain person-- Adapting it to their colors or likes or age or need.
I "invented" the Little Bucket Buddy when my grandson was trying to carry around his dad's 5 gallon tool bucket with the tool apron. The entire thing probably weighed 3 times as much as this little tot. I designed my own tiny version of the tool apron put it on a 2 gallon bucket. Then I woke up in the wee hours of the morning one morning and knew what I was supposed to call this "invention" and how to market it. Eureka, "Little Bucket Buddy" was born--a beach bucket, a "diaper" bucket, a carry in the car bucket, a gardening bucket, a toy bucket, an all purpose bucket. We've made them from denim and from designer drapery fabrics! They have been shipped out of state for gifts. Each one is my new favorite (until I make the next one). I'm glad I don't have to choose!!!!
