latest craft fair

I had what will most likely be my last craft show for 2010 in the Milwaukee, WI area on Saturday.
I took pictures of some of my newest items in case they sold at the show.  This pair of buttons earrings didn't so you will most likely see them on Etsy at some point in the near future.

I love this pair of vintage buttons.  They're more turquoise colored in person.

Here's my booth set up.  These booths were huge, which was awesome.  I was pretty happy with this set up.  It's pretty much what I did for the Iowa Arts Festival, but I added the side tables.  I will try this arrangement again in the future.

I did pretty well.  It started out very slowly, but things picked up as the day went on.  It was the most well run show I've been to so far and was generally a lot more fun than my last show.  If we stay in the midwest, I would do this one again.

I had some time to work on pieces before the show started so I put this olive green piece together, which is a variation of my original purple one.  I'm working on some olive green earrings to go with it, too.

I also made a new black and white version.  I made the original black and white for a present a couple years ago.  This one sold at the show, but I may make another one at some point.  The green one is still available.  You can speak for it now if you don't want to wait for it to go on Etsy.
