Most Recent Craft Show Pictures!

Here are a bunch of pictures from our latest craft show - the Walhalla SC Oktoberfest. It was very disappointing because it rained the whole time and was VERY muddy, so not very many people showed up any of the 3 days. Linda was with me with her hair bows and my Mom was also with us, she made all the cute little pillows you see!



Pillows my Mom made! I made her a website, gotta add pictures and set everything up then I will be posting a link here!


Linda's hair bows. Here you mainly see her ponytail holders, I like them a lot!


Some more of my Mom's pillows and some washcloth candies!


Four diaper cakes and some of Linda's hair bows!


My main table, here you see diaper cakes, boo boo bunnies, diaper purses, receiving blanket honey buns, washcloth bunnies, and burp cloth candies.



Because of the mud we went out and bought 4 bales of hay to spread all around our tents and in front of them. We had a bale left, so we used it to display Linda's fluff claws and my fairy wands!


Mini diaper cakes and hair bow gift baskets!


Linda's main table.


All three tents together, we also had one tent in the back for us to sit in.

We got our spot info!!

Linda and i got our spot information for the Summerfest! I have spot number 100 and she has spot number 101. :) We will be located on the north end of Congress Street, my booth will be the first (or last depending on which way you come down the road) booth on the corner, and Linda will be right next to me. :)

This is perfect for those of you residing in Charlotte, NC who are looking to buy diaper cakes, baby shower favors, little girl hair bows, or any other baby shower needs as both Diaper Cakes by Wendy and Linda's Hair Candy will be here at the York SC Summerfest. It is a short ride from Charlotte, please visit this link for more info!

Got a lot done yesterday!

Well, kinda LOL! Linda came over and we spent the entire day making stuff, up until about 3:30am! I did get a diaper cake made (I hadn't planned on making any yet, but I wanted to see this particular one), two diaper wreaths, a whole bunch of butterfly bodies (will add wings later), and some cupcakes. Not too much for the entire day, but I had to get some orders out too, that's just all I did for the craft show. I should be making stuff now, August 22 is going to come quickly, but I will start for today in a little bit.

Now for my whining for the day. Why the hell can't people come up with their OWN ideas?? Why does everyone have to steal yours?? Mini diaper cakes, yeah they are super popular now, but when I started making them, I was the ONLY one doing it, now I understand sellers coming along and wanting to do it, but must you do it the exact same way as me??? Washcloth lollipops with pom poms - MY idea, now everyone does it. Single diaper butterflies - I started that too, now they are everywhere. I hate people who steal. Please if you have no creativity then you have no business making baby gifts for a living. Now I see washcloth baby dolls on eBay, they are UGLY but yeah they took that idea from me too.

Betcha can't do it like me, NO!

We Got Accepted!!

Linda and I both got postcards the other day from the Summerfest people and we both got accepted! I am planning on finishing up my eBay orders today and starting on festival stuff tomorrow or tonight, the only bad thing is I am broke and need some supplies lol. I guess right now is a slow time on eBay, I am not getting any orders, it's bad because I need the money for all my Summerfest stuff but it's good because I need the time to make my Summerfest stuff lol!

I'm So Nervous

Like I said, I sent in the application for me and Linda to go to the York SC Summerfest and now I know I am going to be sooo impatient waiting for some kind of reply from them. I really hope we both get in but what I hope even more is that we can be directly next to each other. I was reading more about it last night ( Click Here To Read About It! ) as they have updated their website with more info since I last checked. I didn't realize the craft show was the main attraction of the festival, so that makes me more nervous! This festival attracts people from all over SC, NSC and more, bringing in what they expect to be over 50,000 attendees this year!! Holy cow! So, with Linda and I, we are going to have a 20 foot wide, 10 foot deep tent and have it set up like a store where people can come in and have different things to look at, instead of just boring tables lol. So, I figure, a lot of people will probably at least stop by. Say only half the people who attend even walk by our tent, that would be 25,000 walking by, and then say just half of those actually stopped and looked at our stuff, that would be 12,500. Ok, now say just a quarter of those people bought ONE thing, that is still 3,125 things we would have sold!! Are these the kind of numbers I should be thinking of? Both of our stuff starts at $1 so it is very affordable. I have only done the Iris Festival and There wasn't many people there but I still had pretty good sales, though I didn't make back what I spent. The attendance for that was SUPPOSED to be a couple thousand, but I only feel like I saw some hundreds. Then again it was rainy all weekend and Sumter is a small town, near nothing too important. From what I read, thousands of people come from Charlotte, NC alone to attend the Summerfest. If anyone has been to one that would be great, let me know what to expect! So, I am thinking I really need to start making stuff NOW, but first I have to get all my eBay orders out and at least get a little stuff made for the other flea market this Sunday. But between Sunday and August, I will be doing nothing other than making extra stuff for this festival. What are your thoughts on the number of pieces I should take with me? Also, I don;t know how many to take of what item, as I don;t really know what will be most popular!! Ahhhh what to do?!?! Oh, and then I have a friend who is most likely going to let us borrow a portable CC machine, so that will be even more sales for us!!!
