Happy Thanksgiving!

We, as in me, Tim and Maddy, will be heading to Oklahoma for the Thanksgiving holiday to see Papa Mel and Patty. When I return I can NOT wait to tell you about my weekend at the craft fair in Cape Girardeau Missouri!!!!! I'll give you a hint......I saw a lot of green.....if ya know what I mean!????!

I have put my shop on vacation while we are away. Business is booming, so it was a tough decision to make, but I can not spend quality time with my family always thinking of going to check my shop or convo's! So, I apologize for any inconvenience. It will reopen on Monday December 1st!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Take care, be safe, and above all.........be "Thankful" for all the great things in your life!

Warmly,

Leslie

What Have I Done???????

Annual Christmas Arts and Crafts Extravaganza - Cape Girardeau Art

Hello! Just wanted to drop in and let you all in on a little information. I am not sure how it happened, but a friend of mine wanted to participate in a juried arts and craft show, so she asked me if I wanted to share a booth and I said yes......just like that. Next thing I know I am filling out papers, typing artist statements, taking pictures, sending money, interviewing on the phone.......and just like that, I am accepted and in booth number 15 at the Show Me Center.

I guess I should have found out more about this event before accepting.....ya think? Because this is apparently one of the nations LARGEST shows. I was working on a Saturday at a health fair when my friend asked me to share a booth and I just said "yes"....without thinking. And now, I have a 10 x 10 booth all to myself.......and I am a little FREAKED....yeah that is the word.

I have been frantically buying supplies, display items, tablecloths, boxes, bags, etc....

Now, I have to somehow figure out how much jewelry to make. What kind to make....more earrings, more bracelets........ahhhh, the stress!!

Anyway, if there are any of you near or in the area, please come and support this crazy and nervous artist........did I mention that I have NEVER done anything like this. Not even a craft show.....

So, here is the information for those who are interested. If you need more information, just let me know! Wish me luck, send love, verbal flowers......Thanks!!!!
