Today's Craft Fair Experience.... You "Lucky Duck"

Like I said before, I am back into the swing of things, posting new items, seeking out new shops and artists to blog, and finding craft fairs to sell at!

Today I participated in a craft fair at a local church where I went to preschool! I did ok for only signing up for the booth a few days ago. Every little bit counts to help pay for my wedding!

My booth neighbor was sooooo kind and her items were so impressive, that I want to feature and share her shop, Lucky Ducky Designs, with you today! 

Lucky Ducky Designs sell things "for mama and her little duckling" has her saying puts it. When first seeing her booth (which put mine to shame it was so nice, organized, and everything fit well together), I immediately fell in love with the styles and colors of the fabrics she chose to create her aprons (both toddler, kid, and adult size), headbands, burp cloths, bibs, diaper bags, and other super fun creations.

As many of you know, I do not have any children, but my friends are all suddenly about to give birth, so time to shop! 

I have been looking for quite some time on Etsy to find a seller to buy from with children's items (it is overwhelming who to pick and what to buy), but I also wanted to support an Indiana seller if possible! This worked out just great and I was able to see things in person, which is even better.

I think of myself very fortunate to have found her and see her items up close in personal, not only for my purchasing pleasure, but also to share her items with YOU! I highly suggest the children's aprons because they come in so many colors and you can get a matching adult size and cook/create together! Your child can only match you for so long before they notice and you defiantly want the aprons added to your wardrobe!

I purchased a bib with the cutest  safari animals on it (see photo at the top)! Her prices are VERY reasonable and amazing for the quality and care she puts into her work. You can bet I will be back for more!

Please visit her personal website for the most selection currently: www.lddbaby.com

She also started an Etsy site that could use some love : www.luckyduckydesigns.etsy.com

Her E-Mail: sandy@lldbaby.com

The pictures do not do her justice, but I can guarantee quality service and quality products!

Please let me know what you think of today's feature. If you leave your store address, you might just be next!

I AM BACK!

Hi Everyone!

Boy! It has been 2 months since I have blogged. That is the longest ever... I am so sorry for those who have been following me or attempting to follow me. I even got some great e-mails and comments asking when I would be back!

The good news is that I am back. We finally closed and moved into our new home (my FIRST!) at the start of this month. Teaching is going well. As you can seen in an earlier post below, my second book on artist trading cards  (ATC) is now out and available for purchase thorough my ETSY shop.

Only 4 months till my wedding! I now have 6 bridesmaids, which is very exciting. I also found some great things though ETSY that I will be purchasing and featuring since I will be using them in my wedding.

Sales are UPUPUP finally. For those Etsy sellers out there, it is picking back up, so work hard and do not lose hope! I was in last weekend's Etsy Weekend Deals and made about 25+ sales just in one day alone! Very cool.... I also signed up for a craft fair for this weekend at the last minute. I need all the sales I can get to afford my wedding. I am sure I am not the only one in this boat.

I promise there will be more features, great links, and exciting product reviews to come. Everyone needs a vacation once and a while, but not I AM BACK! If you made it though this entire post, I hope I did not bore you with my life, but I like to also work things out in my mind as I type.

Feel free to post comments! I like hearing from my readers!
