Craft Fair

Last Saturday me, Nora Lee and four other homeschooling families bought a booth at the Topanga Craft Fair and sold handmade items.  Over the last few years I've been learning more about crafting.  I've been particularly drawn to knitting and sewing and have been transforming worn out clothing into something new.  I'm looking forward to learning jewelry making, sewing with a machine, and crochet work.

Up until the craft fair, I had only made things for people I love and I wasn't sure what the general public would think of my work.  The day was a huge success!  It was so fun to spend the day with our friends and watch as they sold things they had made.  The fair was quite small, but we all still sold enough to feel really excited!  All of a sudden, I felt flooded with enthusiasm for selling my crafts!

At the fair I was asked if I had business cards and if I had a shop on Etsy.  The answer at the time to both questions was no, but now it's yes!

My shop is at www.etsy.com/shop/SaraJeanHandmade

Here are some of the things I've been working on lately.

We had two tables at our booth.  This was Nora Lee and my section.  She sold all 12 bookmarks that she made!
