The fashionable wearings of, Two Seaside Babes, is an Etsy shop created by mother and fiber artist, Jessi. She specializes in various styles of crocheted hats and accessories. They are also the original creator of the Buckle Beanie, which I own! Her original and very high quality handmade items are a HUGE seller and very popular both locally in the Indianapolis area and on Etsy. In fact, Two Seaside Babes are high up on the list of Etsy top sellers!

With such a large selection of colors and sizes, it is easy to shop for anyone in your family or friends. She also specializes in custom orders, so when you need a set of matching hats for a family photo shoot, or a super cute beanie or headband for your newborn, you will know where to go!

November Already?!

I cannot believe how quickly this year had flown by! Where did September and October go? Well, it is time to play catch up in my blogging and share some photos with you!

Here is a photo of my pumpkin this year. Can you guess what the art is supposed to resemble? Too bad I did not get a photo of it lit up....or even a chance to put a candle in it. It molded 2 days later!

I had an after school workshop for pumpkin carving with linoleum tools for grades 4-7. Here is a pumpkin from a 6th grader, which I LOVED! The kids had a blast. My second workshop for october was tie-dye pumpkin shirts (and have about 50+ students attend. So much for my "only the first 30 accepted," but I hate turning kids away.

For Halloween I was Lady Gaga. I bought a wig and made a dress out of bubble wrap! I had a ton of fun and got honorable mention at a costume contest!

Today I went shopping at a local craft fair! I never get to shop, or at least take my time and shop for fun since I have signed up for about 10 shows total this season. It was nice to buy some fun items! Take a look at my purchases!

These Owls are a HOOT! The artists did not put their name on any of the tags, but they are so cute, I had to take a photo with my webcam!

I am in huge need of soap (Do not worry, I have been using soap, but it has been my husband's Axe body wash, which smells good, but I needed a change-Ha!), so I bought this REALLY good smelling Cranberry Yuzu bar from "Get Lathered." You will be able to buy your own bar too at the Hoosier Artisan Boutique where we will both have a booth on November 27 in Noblesville, IN. I cannot stop smelling it!

Well, that is about it for tonight. I have a big announcement tomorrow to make about a great BOGO deal in my shop, so check back in tomorrow!

I would love to hear any comments you may have, so feel free to write a message below! Have a great weekend!

Trick-Or-Treat and Giveaway

Happy October! Today I wanted to share my two most new Rainbow Crayons for Halloween. The first (above) are my new Jumbo Candy Corn Rainbow Crayons, which have been quite a hit at my craft fairs the past two weekends! This trick-or-TREAT looks so good you could eat it! Different from my typical Rainbow Crayons, the Jumbo Candy Corns come in the traditional candy corn colors.

My second newest Rainbow Crayon set are my Jumbo Hat Rainbow Crayons, perfect for your little witches. The points on these crayons are great for little hands to color with!

Well... It Was Not Quite Moby Dick...

The last three days have been the longest ever while I participated in the "Whale of a Sale" Children's Consignment Event in Zionsville. While the children and baby items were a great deal if you have kids, it was not a huge catch for me and far from the "Moby Dick" I was expecting. For those of you "crafters and artists" out there who participate in shows and events, I am sure going to have a hard time from now on, participating in any type of show that is not specifically an art, craft, or holiday boutique. Here are a few photos I took...

On the plus side, I did get a few great finds from the

sale and hang out with some wonderfully talented ladies!

(Above)

I LOVE Vera Bradley! I for the big bag for only $7.50 and the small purse for $5!

They were almost brand new!

I bought this super cute hat from Two Seaside Babes and the necklace from MadrinDesigns! Oops...I think I left the tag on all day... My husband loves the hat!

The photos below are some of the gorgeous work of MadrinDesigns. Each time I visited her booth, I saw something new that I had not seen the first time. She creates her unique pieces with a vintage-modern flair and floral theme.

My favorite part was looking at all the talent and meeting new people. I had many good things come from talking with other vendors and artists these past three days and am glad things worked out the way they did!
