First OH Craft Fair

Hello world! Did my first craft fair in Ohio last weekend. It was sooooo slow. Unnervingly slow, really. But, we did ok and got lots of compliments! Here's some pics of my setup:

I hung the dog collars on wire shelving from our pantry. And that white box there in the bottom photo was actually a plastic crate that I covered in white packing paper to make it look a little nicer. I'm going to sew a cover for it soon.

They wouldn't let me have Mocha with me because it was an indoor craft show and they were selling food (to the 20 people that came...) so I brought my laptop and had a slideshow playing of Mocha and Ninja modeling the sweaters.

So, now what? We're doing another show, of course! December 7th at the Falcon Academy of Creative Arts (FACA) in Mogodore, OH. Sure hope it goes well!

Also... I opened a shop on Zibbet. It's a website that's really committed to selling handmade, like Etsy used to be. So, here's the link (I'll try to find a widget too): www.zibbet.com/inspiredbymocha

Just a couple things on there, but a super nice community. I'm interested to see how the site does.

Quick update!

So remiss in updating my blog!  Guess I'll never be a famous blogger :-/

The craft fair went pretty well.  It was nice to get my name out there, but March at 80 degrees isn't really the time to sell doggie sweaters...

There was one really cool vendor who hand paints wooden eggs.  His work was beautiful!  Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it, but I wanted to share it!  Here's one of my favorites:

Isn't that georgous?
The Egg Man is his website

I also got a custom made coat for Mocha.  It's just as beautiful as I had hoped, lined with fleece.  Wicked cute, I can't even stand it.  Here's a few pics I took:

It has a little hood, even though you can't really see it, and a D-ring on the back so it can be used as a harness :)  Got it from this shop on Etsy - http://www.etsy.com/shop/KozyCanines

And finally (don't I sound like I'm writing an essay? lol) Mocha and Ninja have been getting along sooooo well.  Mocha's been enjoying agility classes while Ninja goes through puppy kindergarten.  They love to play together, chase the balls, etc.  Then they conk out.  I think Mocha's pretty happy with the whole "I have a little brother" thing :)
