 Folk Magazine Show at the Springfield Extravaganza {note 1}

Catching up on "stuff" that meets you at home when you unload your cargo. Orders that need to go out are almost finished. The kiddos are cleaning {or at the moment they are opening tubs acccck} Ok, that is under control now.

Karen Brady took this picture {thank you}. Luke was happy to be there on Saturday; he was--
1. the security guy/// "you must pay before you take that tray." Oh, my.
2. The salesman//// "You must buy all this stuff on top of the cart, then you can buy the cart"
3. The entertainer/// telling good stuff to folks he didn't know.
{always a good thing to have a 6 year old help you sell.}

HOW TO MAKE A VINTAGE CARNIVAL BANNER

lots of folks wanted to buy ours--{really nothing to "make" just buy & dye! :) }
1. Go to Hobby Lobby {party aisle}
2. Purchase their cloth carnival printed banner, complete with a cute rope. It's wide maybe 4-5 feet & 12" to 15" high. {if you have a coupon it's around $6.00}
3. Tea dye it {tea bags, use hot water, swish in your sink until desired color. I swished then let it sit in the tea dye bath for 20 minutes.}
4. Dry in the sun and hang in your booth, embellish a party or put in a kids room! The font is really cute!

I have more photos to put up from the show........
