April Festivals and Events
A little look back at my April events!
June Craft Fairs
This month I participated in the Coopertown Barrel Festival and the Westhaven Porchfest.
Last weekend and looking ahead!
We were out and about this weekend at the Pleasant View Tent Sale! We had a fair time, even though the weather was less than desirable! We had a pretty good turnout. There weren’t large crowds and lulls of no one, it was all pretty consistent traffic. I feel like I need to do a post about craft fair etiquette, because some people made some major faux pas this weekend. We had a lot of fun meeting some members of our town’s parks & rec department, and we may have scared them by screaming “YOU’RE LESLIE KNOPE!!” but I really feel like if that’s your job, you should watch the show about your job! 😀
-
- Hoops, hoops, hoops! Feed sack pillows! Purses!

- Our tent is a bright colorful force to be reckoned with!
-
- Coloring book portfolios out for display! These were a big hit!

Next weekend we’ll be out again at the Nashville Farmer’s Market as part of the Nashville Scene’s Crafts & Drafts benefiting Soles4Souls. A reminder to anyone who’s planning on coming to bring a pair of gently used shoes (or new shoes!) to donate. There’s going to be crafts, beers, craft beers! And a wide range of things to shop for and see. Come by and see us! We’ll be doing our best to stay warm and cheerful!
So what have you been up to out there? We’ve been sewing away! Hope you have been as well! Until next time, happy sewing!
Recap and Upcoming
Hi!
Saturday we had so much fun! It was a different experience going to a “mixed” craft fair. We were one of few completely handmade booths; there were a lot of booths were people were sales reps for bigger products, like Tupperware and those “it works” wraps…which we all know don’t work. We did pretty well, and we’re looking forward to participating again next year.
We also have an upcoming fair that’s in our little town!!! On Halloween we’re going to be at the Pleasant View Tent Sale at 1550 Dowlen Street Pleasant View, TN 37146. There will be kid friendly activities, pumpkins to paint, lots of vendors! And candy!! It’s sure to be a really fun event. If you’d like to find more info, here is a link to the event’s Facebook page.
So recently we’ve been working on a number of items to add to our shop, and really trying to crank them out. Mel’s been working on turning some antique quilts into pillows and hoop art, and I’ve been working on coloring book portfolios. We’re both just working away diligently, and we’ll try to work on other items once we feel like maybe we’ve got enough. We both feel like you can’t have enough though!
I also have some other projects to work on, I’ve got my Michael Miller challenge, which I may work on at the Guild meeting tomorrow. I’ve got a quilt top that I plan on giving as a Christmas gift, so I should probably get that quilted, and I’ve decided to make another quilt for a Christmas gift, so yea…there’s that. O_O Oh and I’ve signed up to be a part of our guild’s Secret Santa swap! Because I need more to sew.
I won’t be able to post the Christmas gift quilts until they’re gone to their homes (OBVIOUSLY, HELLO!!! SPOILER ALERTS!) But I’ll get them posted with their little stories as soon as I can.
So what have you been up to out there? Sewing away? Crafting it up? Us too. 🙂
Until next time, happy sewing!
