Valentine Craftacular!

I have had a busy couple of months and plan to check in with an update and photos soon so you can see some of the new things I've been making! But first, I want to tell you about my first craft show of 2012! 

The Bookish Life will be participating in the Valentine Craftacular on February 4th at the East Side Club in Madison, WI. There will be around 50 artists and crafters, a photo booth and a make & take craft table. Fun for the whole family! Admission is free and the first 50 shoppers will get a free tote bag stuffed with goodies from the vendors.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the shops who will be at the show. You can go to the Valentine Craftacular website for more information and a full vendor list! Hope to see you there!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Craftacular last weekend! It was a really fantastic show. I spent the day with my fabulous sister-in-law and since it was busy almost the whole day, I really don't know what I would have done without her. Thanks Elizabeth! A big thanks also goes out to Laura and Sachi at Anthology and Naomi and Jerome at Glitter Workshop for organizing this awesome event. What a fun day! And thanks to everyone who stopped by our table to visit! It was great to see some familiar faces and meet lots of new people, too!

Our next show will be on December 12 at PointyKitty Studios on the northeast side of Madison. The show is called Buy Handmade for the Holidays and features more than a dozen artists. If you're in the Madison area please stop by!

I have been under the weather this week and haven't had time to do much of anything. I am focusing on keeping up with orders in my etsy shop but hope to make at least a few new things before next week's show. Our womens' owls in love & raining in my heart shirts were popular at the craftacular and I wish I had time to make more of those! I might just have to wait until after the holidays, though. Boo!

Hope you are having a magical holiday season! Enjoy the snow!

It's been a lovely week. We got to spend time with Chad's family near Chicago, had a lovely visit with our friends from New Mexico, and a quick visit with friend from Los Angeles, too. All in one week!

The rest of the week I plan to spend getting a few things ready for a trunk show on Saturday. I'll be at the Frequency (121 W. Main St in Madison) with other etsy artists and crafters from 12-5. It's a great weekend for it since Art Fair on the Square is happening at the same time. If you're in the area, come down and do both! Hope to see you there.





















After the trunk show Chad and I are doing dinner and going to see Frank Black. It's my special birthday thing…I am turning 31 on Monday.

So there you have it. Summer is busy. Good busy. And I love it.
