Boutique

Here I am at last week's boutique. It is amazing to see how your display evolves -- from a bare table to a beautiful display of creativity.

The doll in the right is my doll as a child. I remember it was so cool that she could open and close her eyes when lying down. She makes a great model for baby hats, don't you think?
On the left side is my homemade jam - rhubarb/strawberry jam -- notice they are red and green, that is because there are different types of rhubarb plants -- sweet red and tart green stalks. It makes a colorful display for the holidays.

In the middle is my prized creations of handbags. I just love these. I really don't have a favorite, they are all gorgeous. For me it is so much fun designing and putting the colors together. These handbags are versatile, colorful and , of course, uniquely designed.

Notice on the wall is a poster of Meryl Streep. Pretty cool me and my "friend" Meryl. LOL

Minnesota Musings -- Fall is here

Oh yes, Fall is arriving in Minnesota.
September was a beautiful month, sunny and mid seventies almost every day. As soon as October hit, bam the temps dropped below freezing right away. We have already had measureable snow.
It was really different seeing the snow on the red colored trees. usually the trees drop their leaves first and then it snows So we had "pink" trees for a couple of hours.

With fall brings Artisan Fairs. And I am so excited, the Artisan fair I started has filled up with vendors. The first Annual Chanhasssen Artisan Fair is slated for November 7,th 10 am to 3 pm at Chanhassen Recreation Center. This is the first time I am going to be selling at a fair, so any suggestions are appreciated.

I have been busy making and creating my items from purses to baby blankets. I should have a variety of items -- probably about 10 different items to sell. So this should be fun and I am definitely looking forward to it.
