Clever Craft Show Items & Displays

Had a great time at the Handmade For The Holidays Bazaar last weekend.  The event was very impressive for a first year event and was extremely well organized.  The raffle was awesome, with each of the awesome 78 vendors donating an item for giveaway.  There were some lovely items for sale.  Photographed a few of my favorite vendors - please tag yourself in the comments if you see your goodies here!

I'm always trying out something new with my display at craft shows.  I recently bought a birdcage to clip the feather hair pieces to (thought it was fitting!)  I'm trying to do a better job of utilizing vertical space to draw attention, which can sometimes be challenging with smaller items.

Next up is the Bellevue Club Holiday Bazaar!  Join me Saturday, November 5th from 9-3 PM.  I'm going with a more sleek Day and Night theme to the set up, with some very special jewelry designs from Parisienne Girl Designs being featured, as well as your favorite fascinators for some "instant fancy" this holiday season!  The line up looks amazing.  Hope to see you there...

Hand beaded floral fascinators with boutique feathers...

Decorative hats for you or to be part of your holiday decor

Shop Revamp and Upcoming Events!

Hello friends!  If you visit my Etsy shop, you might notice this announcement:

Hello! The shop is on vacation until 4/28/2011. We're getting ready to bring you NEW made-to-order items for your wedding including vintage style veils, fascinators and accessories! Check the blog for sneak peeks of what's in store next week - www.deedsandpetunia.blogspot.com

All orders placed before April 20th will be filled and shipped as promised. Please remember, all items are MADE TO ORDER by hand, so please allow up to THREE WEEKS from your purchase date before they are ready to ship.

Please message us in the meantime, we will still be checking our inbox and responding to your requests!

 Truth be told, I'm not REALLY on vacation (I wish) but instead finishing up last minute details for new shop listings and cranking out tons of pieces that will be for sale at TWO very exciting upcoming events!  So, you can still get in touch with me if you need to, I will still fill your order as promised if you placed one in the last month and it hasn't shipped yet, but I need a break from the wonderful flow of sales I've been getting to play catch up!  I'm only one woman, after all.  ;)

Events!  Both are on the same day, May 14th!  How am I going to be in two places at once you ask?  Well, I'm not.  I'll be at the one in Seattle, the Vintage Wedding Fair, and will have a representative at the other, the Artisan Sale at Brassfield's Salon in University Place, WA.  Most of the wedding goodies will be at the Vintage Wedding Fair from 12-5 PM, and I will have some sweet little pieces for sale just in time for Mother's Day, Prom, Summer, etc. at the Artisan Sale.

Thanks for your patience!

Crafty Craft Show Weekend Recap

What a fun weekend!  Met so many creative people like Laurie of La La Laurie (AMAZING paper craft!), Cheryl of Food Stuffs (eco-friendly food-storage), and Lori Meyer or Parisienne Girl Designs (lovely vintage-inspired jewelry).

It was great to be a part of such a talented group of people and I feel blessed with some good sales both days.  Hooray for handmade!!!

Here are some photos from the Artisan Sale:
