Time Flies When You Are Having Fun!




Oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness how time has flown by. Since I wrote last, we had our 5th Successful Holiday Hodgepodge. 5 Years?! So many of my "regular" customers came to see our wares. We had several new vendors and missed some of our old vendors. Just a few of our vendors: Linzee's wonderful pottery was a hit. Ali's vinyl signs. Lois' aprons and amazing hairbows. Kerian's bows and Scentsy. And of course, Linda's incredible floral arrangements and wreaths. And all the other great creators joined us for two weekends.

My top seller this year was my new Bitty Bucket Buddy. I just had a feeling folks would like them so I made a "gazillion" of them. Then I decided to do something different and cover the handles which really dresses them up. So I had to go back and cover handles for the earlier ones. One customer bought one for all of her grandchildren then tucked goodies in all the pockets. What a great idea! Wish I had thought of that. In fact, that is what I'm going to give all of them for their birthdays this year. She came back and bought them for her adult children for their cars. Again, I need to do that for my own children! We embroidered names on all of them, and that made them even more special. How much I enjoy making things that people love!
