Canterbury Bazaar

This year I got to go in with my friend Sally and her mom on their room at the Canterbury Bazaar. I agreed to it about 5 months ago and did most of my sewing the last 5 days. Ugh! But I got some stuff done and I was grateful for the stuff that hadn’t sold yet on Etsy.

So I got it all set up and got to admire all the stuff my friends had made, too. And then I went home and prayed that I would sell something…

some of my display

my bags

Sally’s niece made this adorable ring stacking toy!

Cheryl made these fun and whimsical baby sets

It worked!!!

I sold this quilt

 

and this quilt

some of my handmade soap

and all of the baby balls (in about 2 hours)

and all the coloring bags (in about 1 1/2 hours)

I have to admit I was pretty excited because I’ve never made anything that people actually bought. But now the debate is whether or not to make more of them for the bazaar I am doing with my sister in a month???  What the heck…

So I went out tonight and spent some of my earnings on fabric to make more bags and balls. It was all on sale and I didn’t spend that much, so I hope it pays off.

I bought this one because I love pink and green and had fabric at home to match. Bonus!

This one reminds me of Eric Carle’s “Very Hungry Caterpillar” though I don’t know why??? It’s fun, too!

this one is my FAV!!! The dragons’ fire is even glittery!!!

I just liked the doggy print with the paw-print accent

this one is for baby balls

This is for people who like more traditional baby prints

These are for people who like more unique baby prints ( I love these!!!)

Sally also told me about a cover she had seen once for notebooks, so I decided to give one a try. I figured I could do it, and I did… I love the way it turned out. I think I’ll make some of these for the bazaar, too. Maybe I’ll even make some for mommies without the handles (or the crayon holders)???

I’ve got a lot of sewing to do! I’d better get going…
