Prairie Arts Festival 2010

This past Saturday was The Prairie Arts Festival in West Point, Mississippi and it was a blast.  I really enjoyed my first arts festival experience.  Overall I would say our booth was a success but we didn't sell all of our items.  For whatever reason, people seemed to be buying more yard art and polka dotted painted trash cans.  Also our booth was really close to the gospel stage which made it hard to talk to customers or to avoid the day long headache associated with standing near speakers.  But those were my only complaints.  I loved being a vendor,...

Prairie Arts Festival is tomorrow!

It's all happening.  Or at least the Prairie Arts Festival is happening tomorrow, September 4th.  For the past couple of weeks, I have had entirely too much spray glue in my life.  That being said I am happy with the notebooks and journals I have made recently.  My new notebooks and journals are way better than the first ones I made, so that is exciting. Here is a tiny preview of what you can expect from my corner of our booth.

Handmade Loveliness by Molly Gee Designs

At the Cotton District Arts Festival this year, my husband bought me a beautiful  handmade headband  by Molly Gee Designs.   The designer Molly Waggener is delightful.   I was instantly drawn to her booth because her display was lovely.  I must have asked her ten questions about her designs and her business.   Molly was really friendly and didn't seem bothered by me at all.  Oh did I mention she is from Mississippi.  I love that about her. Look at these pretty head pieces.  I can't decide which one is my favorite. Also the fact that her  photography was shot by the...
