I love fall. It's cool and crisp. The leaves rustle. I can sleep with my windows open. And it's the perfect time to get out there and really sell my warm woolen treasures. Even though wool is great year round, there is a general feeling out there, that it is for cool season only. Totally wrong, but that's for a future post. 

I've been going a little crazy prepping for my busy season. It is about now that the orders start rolling in, usually towards the end of September. I've decided this year to add a couple of art fairs to my fall/winter schedule. I've been doing The Winter Arts and Crafts Show at Brukner Nature Center for the past 2 years It's held the first weekend in December in Troy, OH. I plan on doing it again.

This year, I've added 2 venues. So, if you are in Ohio, I'd love to see you!

Waynesville 2nd Saturday Street Faire. Sept. 8. in Waynesville, Ohio.  Yes. I know. It's tomorrow. But I've been busy. Really busy! The weather might give us a bit of a late start, but you'll find me there! You'll also find other artisans, authors, a book swap, cruise in and a ghost dinner. It's my first time at the Street Faire. My girls will be helping me tomorrow. So stop on by and say, "Hi!"

CyclopsFest. Sept 15, 10am - 7pm. Yellow Springs Ohio. This one looks to be a lot of fun!  It's touted as, "An epic festival of handmade goods, music, culture, and DIY Wonderfulness." There will be tons of vendors. 7 different bands. Kids activities. Demos. Skate/BMX Demos. Roller Girls. CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED!

Here's the band schedule: 
Nicki Illiopolis - 10:00a-12:15p 
Grey Market - 12:30p-1:45pwww.reverbnation.com/greymarketrecords
Motel Beds – 2:00p-3:15pwww.reverbnation.com/motelbeds
Tin Armor – 3:30p-4:45ptinarmor.blogspot.com/
Ruckus Roboticus – 5:00p-7:00phttp://www.ruckusroboticus.com/

And the first 50 shoppers at CyclopsFest get a swag bag full of goodies from the artisans! I've contributed these cute little pincushions handcrafted from a felted sweater square and needle felted with a flower or butterfly. You'll also get a coupon for 20% off at my stand and 10% off a future on-line order! So come on by!
