Logan Holiday Gift Show

So I mentioned this show in a previous post but realized I never really posted about it.

The Booth

Items pictured above (you may have to look close): tutus (hanging on the left), little guy tie onesies, stenciled onesies, christmas tree onesies, onesie dresses, carseat covers, hair bows, hair flowers, etc.

Items sold included: brain squeezers (baby headbands, top left), diaper changing pads (bottom left), binky clips, watch faces, watch bands, mini baby clips

 Lots and lots of onesie dresses

 Watch bands

It was fun...

A good experience...

But I probably won't be doing it again...

This was my first ever show. And I did make some money but it was pretty slow going and the products I make tend to make people say "What a great idea, I'm totally going to make that". Honestly? I'll save you the trouble if you would just buy it ;)

I've come to realize that I love to make the products but selling them in person is just not my thing. The amount of inventory I had to make was quite a lot of work and with Jared working full time I came to realize just how fortunate I am that Annie naps 3 hours a day. But my home was quite neglected as was my family. So for now, I'm sticking to Etsy but I'm more than happy to do custom orders. Just hop on over to my site :)

Holiday Boutique

Come on over!

I'm going to make some sweet treats and set up my booth from the Logan Holiday Gift Show. 

You're welcome to come even if you don't buy, it will make me feel better if I have at least a couple people show up ;)

p.s. I didn't put my address on the flier because I'm assuming if you read my blog, you know where I live. But for the sake of my family's safety just in case there are some crazies reading my blog, I took the address off. Email me if you need directions.

Don't Forget!!!!

Shameless plug...but wait, it's my blog, why should it be shameless???

It's not shameless at all. In fact I am super excited!!! I'm finally selling in a craft show. Well it's not really just a craft show. It's a Holiday Gift Show and they'll have everything!

Curious?!? Go see for yourself! You can go to the website, or better yet come see in person! I'll be there, in the handmade items room.

Jared's already made the frame for my display, can't wait to show you a sneak peak!!!

Friday & Saturday, November 4-5th from 10AM-7PM!

New Product!

Guess what you can find at Opie Designs???

Aren't these great?!?! They are my diaper changing pad clutches. 

 I just put a whole bunch of them on my etsy site. 

Go and have a look!

Here we go!

Well I've done it!

When Jared received his job offer, we decided that I would become a stay at home mom as long as I found some other means of income. The idea behind this would be that I would finally start to sell all the fun stuff I love to make.

So I've had a business name and in fact started on my own website. I've been sitting on it for about a year (awful, I know). I just hasn't felt right. I put hours upon hours into my website but I just don't have it the way I like it yet.

So in the mean time, I decided to open up an Etsy shop. Let's be honest, when I decided on a business name, I quickly snagged the Etsy name (over a year and a half ago) just in case I decided to go in that direction. Well I'm going in that direction.

Head on over to my shop. Tell me what you think...heck, buy something if you want ;)

If you know of something I make or have made in the past and I don't have it posted, just let me know and I'll get it up there for ya. I have quite a bit of inventory to get on there and would like to see some success before I list it all since they charge you even if you don't sell it.

I'm super excited to start selling my crafts so spread the word... I may even give you a discount if they tell me you sent them (wink, wink).
