Box for Bookmarks!

I decorated this cigar box for the bookmarks I made.

I think I might be equally excited about the box as about what is inside...

I ordered the photo corners from amazon, and I think they help pull the inside together.

Staunton Street Market

I have some pretty talented friends. My friends Alex and Merri reserved a table for the Staunton Street Market that happened today, in the shadow of the dedication ceremony for the Sears Hill Bridge, here in Staunton. You can see their good stuff on their Facebook page or their Etsy shop. They both knit and crochet, and make a variety of wonderful goodies. I helped them set up their book, and they kindly lent me some table real estate. 

I've been busy! Here you can see everything I've been up to recently- the bookmarks, the converted cigar boxes as well as the new hair clips I'll show you in more depth soon.

There are my business cards, and in the background, Alex and Merri's. Quite a yin/yang feeling going on there. Neither of us sold much, but it was great to see people milling around the area after so long without warm weather, and we we able to catch up as well. 

Cards!

These beauties came in the mail a few days ago! I love how simple they are, with the orange (my favorite color), and the nicely contrasting gray. I plan to use them as tags when I start selling things. The back is blank so I can scrawl down sizing and cost info.

I don't have an etsy store yet- when/if I do that it will be linked here and added to the next batch of cards, as well. I'm still working out many of the details involved with selling handmade goods, and don't want to take on more than I can handle just yet. Really, ever, but especially not now. I've had a nice break from classes to get many things started, but that's ending now too.
