Glitter Haus Highlights

What a lovely, glittery event this was!  My favorite holiday show this year by far.  The people, the cozy home location and the talented vendors added up to a big success for our first year of Glitter Haus.

Laurie's house decked out her home for the holidays with the cutest vintage details everywhere you looked.

We served vegetarian-friendly hors d'oeuvres, cranberry embellished cocktails, and a dose of holiday cheer.

Cranberry Cosmopolitans!

Holiday clementines and figs with desert honey drizzle and pink sea salt

Glittering trees, adorable kids outfits, sparkling jewels, delicious seasonings, perfectly crafted paper wreaths, feathery clips were all on display.

Laurie's kittens were tucked away while the house was full. The turnout was amazing! Thanks Tacoma friends for venturing out...

Can't wait to bring you news of the next Glitter Haus event! It was so fun, we just have to do it again!

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...
