I have been a busy little bee, trying to get ready for this Craft Show I am doing this weekend. Here are photos of the booth my sister and I are doing. It is the best we could come up with, hoping the products sell themselves!
My Sister, Sue Ruplinger, is with me in this boutique. I love her Baby Print Kits and Paw Print kits. Everything is there for you in the kit to make the memory of your baby or Pet. I love the pet ones. We were even saying that you could take a print of your pet gerbal, snake, or even fish. Sue is also a very accomplished artist. She has amazing prints to purchase and original works of fine art – go to Sue’s Gallery.
So for me, I’ve gone from “Oh, the sewing madness”, to “Oh, crap, this stuff better sell”. But if not, there is always Etsy.
Do you all know about Etsy, yet? It is the greatest place to buy and sell Handmade products online. I love it and need to spread the word around about it. Really great products, all handmade with love, easy to buy, fun to sell. I am part of a couple Etsy “street teams” that are great too. EtsyKids is a group made up of sellers who make products for kids and babies. Check out the EtsyKids Blog. Also, I am a member of EtsyGreetings. This group is made up of Greeting Card sellers. Check out the EtsyGreetings Blog. They have a great site dedicated to Mom’s for mother’s day coming up.
Wish me luck this weekend. I hope it’s not a bust. Really I just hope to come out even $$. And if you are in the area, come stop on by!

Your booth is amazing!!! Oh I so wish I was in town to come. Will you email me with details of where you’ll be? I would love to tell a few friends about it.
I just made a link to the craft show. It is in Lehi, Utah at the Lehi Legacy Center. It seems to be a great boutique. Lots of wood signs, purses and bags, and yummy treats. Yes, come check it out!
Hey Marie-
So funny that you sent a comment my way today. I was actually over at Bree’s house earlier and she was blogging on your site. I thought that when I got home I would send a comment your way and coincidentally you had already beat me to it. Your blog is adorabe and your kiddos darling. How do you find the time to be so crafty? I will check back often to get ideas and see what you are up to. Isn’t this blogging world great? You gotta love it!

Looks like fun! I wish I were there…I would come by. You don’t know me, but I found your site through Meriel and I love all of the stuff you do. I made my little girl a tutu from your directions and I even started a little etsy store. I don’t have very much yet, but I do make these cute baby books that I would love to sell. I am just wondering how you get your name and site out there and how you become a member on the etsykids blog. If you have any tips I would love to know…I love what you do. Thanks! Sally
