Kane County

So, last weekend I did Kane County with a new friend, Carrie. I met her at the Homewood Art and Garden Street Fair on Father's Day in May. It just so happened that the woman she was going to split with ended up getting sick and I wasn't going to have anyone help me so we decided that it'd be mutually beneficial to help each other out. You can see her goodies at www.etsy.com/shop/twotwigs22

Kane was not so great... I felt terrible because Carrie does kick butt handsewn vintage fabric children's clothes. Her skills and taste are impeccable. I've been out 3 times before this past weekend and NEVER had I been so dead. The other vendors there said the same thing- not a ton of traffic.. maybe because it's back to school time... people are taking last minute vacations with their kids... whatever it was- who knows?

But, I met some great new people and a couple of them graciously came back to visit http://www.outonalimbstudio.com/ and kindly purchased some more goodies! I sold one of my cool new necklaces and only one ring- that was kind of a disappointment- but at least they found new homes. I'm working on some new ones- hopefully business will pick up once kids are back in school and the weather gets cooler- better to do online shopping like that...

Anyhow- here are some new things. Hope you like!!!
