Crunch Time Getting Ready For the Craft Fair


My days for the last week or two ( after getting home from my sweetie's and my romantic get-away) has been very full. I have been washing and filling juice jars with raspberry-rhubarb or plain rhubarb juice plus crafting. I will be selling the juice, my beeswax gourd candles, hand dipped tapers, hand dipped and twisted tapers, knitted baby booties, along with my milk chocolate or mint chocolate fudge. This Friday and Saturday I will be busy selling my wares and in hopes to save enough money to get a new camera plus some needed items for the family and home. ( So if you wondered where I am and what I am doing...now you know. [o= )

  5. Wow, everything looks great. I hope you do really well at the craft fair. If we lived closer together I certainly would love to try the raspberry-rhubarb juice and get some of those beautiful taper candles.

  8. Praying blessings on this final day of craft fair prep! How did your candles turn out? Hope no one got cut. ;)

    Would you consider posting a tutorial for your juice making technique?

    Blessings and prayers, ~Lisa :)

  9. Praying blessings on this fair for you Mary! Here in Chicagoland, you cannot sell food products unless they were made in a licensed commercial kitchen. I used to make homemade chocolate boxes and turtle pretzels, and sold them at a church craft fair...but can't do it anymore. So sad! I'm glad you are able to do it where you are!

    Blessings,

  12. I love the candles! I have a friend at church who makes the most delicious-smelling soy candles. She taught me how to make soap this spring, and now I'm wishing we could make some candles together. Hers are poured (in a small mason jar). There are so many things I *could* do...but as you said on the 24 hours is all you get post...I guess we have to choose! :)

  13. Oops, I wasn't done yet...:) One thing I've been thinking is how I could combine time with my older two girls with crafting. That way we would be spending time together and also doing fun crafting things. I'm still trying to figure out how to squeeze it in! :)

    Hope you did well at your craft fair!
