I’m finally home after a long weekend of crafting, travelling and selling.  As I mentioned before, I took part in the annual Women’s Art Festival in Kingston, Ontario.  Sunday was a beautiful day.  It started off sunny with a nice light breeze, but the humidity quickly amped itself up and I was sweating buckets!  I had lots of people stop by to say hello and check out my new wares.  On Friday and Saturday I made a new line of fridge magnets (I’ll tell you more about them later) and I got some positive feedback on those.  Lots of my resin belt buckles found happy new homes and I’m pleased with that.

I spent most of Monday lost.  My doctor relocated her office and it’s not listed at all.  At one point I was on the phone with 411 and unknowingly sitting about 7 steps away from her office.  Thank goodness I started looking for her office with at least an hour to spare.  I found her just time time.  Just in time to sit for another hour in the waiting room.  A little annoying, but such is life at the end of the business day.

I also added to my injuries list while I was away.  I had a 6am fall down the stairs while I was carrying a tub of crafts.  The silver lining is that it woke me up (or shook me up) just in time for my hour long drive to the art festival.  I have a pretty (painful) carpet burn up my forarm and on my left knee.  Even tonight I slipped and fell in my craft room.  If standing on my two feet wasn’t so convinient I would stop it at this point.

Earlier today I got to take a trip to one of my favourite thrift stores in the world.  I bought a cart full of clothing, books, knick knacks and fabric for just over $80.  My grandmother thinks my husband is going to divorce me for bring home so much “junk.”  She’s the one that trained me to thrift store shop – she should know better than to call it junk.  A shameful word indeed.

I’ll spend tonight and tomorrow photographing some of my new vintage finds.  I’ll be adding them to my Etsy throughout the week.  Check back for updates!
