a successful show!

The Queen Bee Market was a success!! This past Saturday, my talented sister and I put together a combined booth that turned out to be SO cute and so much fun!!  Both of our products meshed well together and the overall look of the booth was perfect.  Bright, happy and fun!!! :)   I had a display of new cards, tags, and cutouts!  My sister made amazing crowns, tiaras, headbands and wands! :)   All of my new items will be listed in the shop shortly.  If you see anything you'd like, contact me and I would be happy to arrange a custom order for you in my shop. :)     Like I said, I will be busy listing NEW items today and probably tomorrow as well, since there is a LOT to photograph and get posted.  Keep your eye on the shop for new additions- I am so proud of the items that I sold and am able to offer my customers now!    Thanks, Queen Bee! And thanks, Mallory, for being a fab sister & booth partner!!! :) xo!  

tomorrow's the day!

Tomorrow is the Queen Bee Market!!! I am sooo excited!!!  I will be there selling all of my paper goods with my sister, who will be selling her amazing kid's crowns, tiaras, headbands and wands.  YAY!   This is what my dining room table looks like at the moment.....   It is a pricing extravaganza!!!!  I am trying to get everything organized for the morning when we have to set up SUPER early before the show.   I truly hope that I am able to see some of you there!  Here are the specifics again...   Are you local to Southern California?! Then stop by and see me at the Queen Bee Market! Saturday, September 22nd from 9am to 3pm! Center for the Arts 340 N. Escondido Escondido, California   YAY!!!! I can't wait!!! OK, off to prep everything and make sure I am staying organized! Happy Friday to you all! xo!

FUN EVENT NEWS!
I will be joining other crafty Southern Californians on November 5th
for the

Bohemian Market's
Language Academy
Pre-Holiday Art & Craft Bazaar!

There will be lots more info to come, but I will be there selling lots of holiday goodies from noon to 4pm. I hope some of you can join me as vendors, and I hope many more of you will come by, shop a little, and say hello! :) Mark your calendars now! Pop over here for more info about the bazaar and how to become a vendor as well.

The San Diego Crafters for the Arts are dedicated to keeping art alive in our local schools, so this bazaar benefits the Language Academy directly. I adore this- I think art is an integral part of how we learn, how we live, and how we create- we simply cannot let that go to waste in our children's educations.

PS.
I know of one other crafty lady who will be joining me- my sister with her fantastic crowns, wands, and whimsical treats from her shop, Wendy Miracle.
xo!

the queen bee. :)

Wait.
The Queen Bee is over???!
I can hardly believe it.
It is just like Christmas.
You work so hard for it, anticipate it, and then all of a sudden, you are on the other side!
It was so much fun.
Lots and lots of late nights and hard work, but so much fun. :)


My booth, in all of it's holiday themed glory! :)


I will be listing the new holiday cards in the shop, as well as some new tag motifs today and in the next few days as well. I was so tired after the event, that I had to take a few days to recuperate! :)


LOVE how everything turned out though, and was so happy to share again in the Queen Bee crazy fun!!

I didn't get a chance to snap photos of all of the beautiful booths. And I mean, seriously BEAUTIFUL. Everything was magical and gorgeous and I wanted to buy everything. Here are some of the photos that I did manage to get. :)

Have I shared with you that I'll be a vendor again in the next
Queen Bee Market?!
Words cannot describe how excited I am. I am already planning my booth design and couldn't be more pumped! Last May, the first Queen Bee Market was held here in Southern California and was a fantastic success!! If you live anywhere near San Diego, mark your calendars because this show is going to be a fabulous & amazing event, I am sure of it!! :) With a much larger space and a wider array of vendors, it is sure to be the perfect place to do some shopping. And right before the holidays?? I am stocking up on Christmas gifts, let me tell you!
Will you be at the market?
I sure hope so!! :)

Now it's off to mail some recent Etsy orders and do a little shopping for new papers for the shop! Exciting stuff! :)
