Some more birdhouses for the market

More fun at the market

The Farmers market can be a great challenge but once we get there we always have fun! I am constantly trying to think of things to make and do for the farmers market and try to chage things up a bit. However sometimes the ol' creative mind will encounter a block. Soooo it's off to bed cause when I am sleeping that is the best way I get ideas. When I am awake my mind just cant seem to work properly. Anyway I have just created some cut birdhouses that I hope you will like. (if I can get the pics. to download. This first one is my favorite and I didn't even get it out of the van before 2 ladies wanted to buy it. I had to split them up (just kidding) and promise to make one for each so that I could at least see how the market people would respond. Well it didn't take long and about 20 min. later soneone bought it for her mother and ordered one for herself. I know that sounds kinda like bragging, but it was just exciting. When someone likes your stuff enough to pay money that is just a real adrenalin rush as well as a confidence builder. It always feels good to know that you might be creating something that will bring joy to someone's life. Anyway I need a name for her....

Model of the Year

The beautiful model below is Addison and her Very beautiful mother Maria. They were helping me out by putting on my aprons and modeling them so that I can put them up on eBay or Etsy. Anyway they look great on them. Thank you so much Addison and Maria.

How cute is this?

"Yard Coasters"

This is the tops of the "Yard Coasters" you can't really see the leaves. They are on a dowel that you poke into the ground and then you can use them either for decoration or for actually putting you cool summer drinks on them. Another thing to do would be to put a candle on them at night, I think that would be really nice.

So finally here is a picture of myself, Sharon and Mike at the Farmers Market in Puyallup. We have a great time and are enjoying creating and comeing up with new ideas. I will show you a few close-ups of my "Yard Coasters" as Rey calls them. They sold really well. I saw something similar in a magazine but didn't like the flower shape that they used and I wanted to try something a little different for the surface.
