handmade st. louis
By all measures, my first time at the Rock & Roll Craft Show was a success. The group of girls that put on the show are an organized bunch...love to see that. The venue was the coolest...sitting in the shadows of the historical Anheuser-Busch Brewery buildings. The crafters were top notch...we even bought a handmade drum for my son for Christmas. I sold lots of my stuff...so happy when people "get" what I make.
Remember my altered train case? When my husband and I went to the preview sale and party on Friday night, it was already sold...seriously. I am so glad that someone liked it and bought it but my "show" piece never had the chance to be seen. Absolutely not complaining here...I'm just sayin'...wow!. I promise that if I find another beautiful case and alter it, I will offer it here on my blog.
I'll be updating my etsy shop a little at a time this week. There is still lots of time to shop for the holidays on etsy and if you find anything you like in my shop, I'll ship it out pronto.
Ok, that's enough about me (look what I made, blah-blah-blah)...I'm even sick of myself yammering on and on. Lots of good holiday stuff to share coming up and a giveaway that I hope everybody likes.
Glad to hear it was a success! (And sorry that we missed it with the weather woes.)

Congratulations! Sounds like the show was a blast, (but I had no doubt that you were going to do fantastic!) Wish I could have been there!

So happy for you! I LOVED that train case! I know what you mean about wishing you could have had that be your big "bang" on Saturday, but you sold it so that validates that others loved it too!
