Phew! I made it thru...

Firefly Handmade ended on Sunday at 3pm.

My last show of the season.

Some much needed rest is coming my way.

After selling out of most of my merchandise last weekend, at Holiday Handmade,

I never could have made it thru the week without my GIRLS!!!!

Natalie and Darci...

Thanks for roughing it by my spaceheater, in my freezing cold studio.

$21 at Taco Bell, and some really GOOD conversation helped me through the day.

Thank you for helping me get so much done!

And...the next day Darci and Slug helped me "bust" out some flower gardens.

More FANTASTIC conversation.

At that point, I was going on very LITTLE sleep.

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much, ladies.

I also have to thank Scott - 

What would I do without your love, support, and passion?

Fern and Sprout would not be thriving if I didn't have you.

Does this sound like an Oscar speech?

Sorry. :)

I'm so grateful.

Thank you, Firefly!!!!  What a weekend!

Boulder treated us WELL!

Thank you, Rachel, my sweet friend!  We rocked it on Friday night!

Both of my helpers were FABULOUS!!

Here's a few pieces that sold over the weekend...

We had such a blast!!!  I can't believe it's over.

Thank you to EVERYONE who helped with the event,

And thank you to Ali, Kristen, and Denise - for organizing such a SUPERFLY market!!!!

And, of course, thank you to all of the lovely shoppers!

You all look DELIGHTFUL in your new goodies!

And now...

...it's time to get ready for Christmas!!

Some holiday decor pics are coming soon!

The homestretch...

Only one more show left during this holiday season...

It's gonna be so great!!!!!!

Denver, YOU ROCK!!!

A huge thank you to Fancy Tiger, the Sherman Street Event Center, all the volunteers, everyone who helped us in our booths, my friends and family, and most importantly...

ALL OF THE SHOPPERS!!!

You all made HOLIDAY HANDMADE a HUGE success!

About halfway through the 2nd day of the show, it hit me that I am a part of the HUGE urban craft movement that is taking over Denver right now.  I am so honored to be part of it.  We had over 1600 people come through the show in just 4 HOURS!!

Needless to say, we were so busy that I didn't take a ton of pictures.  (I know.  That rarely happens.)

Here are just a few shots of the weekend's BIG EVENT...

My Mommee helped me on the first night.  Thanks, Mommee!!  What would I have done without you?

Here's a few shots from the booth next door.  It was a "Christmas explosion."

Mr. Christmas sure is handsome.  I know him. I know him.  :)

Thanks for all of your help, AJ!!!!!!  We love you!

Here's a couple of happy customers...

...although there were WAY too many happy customers for me to count.  :)

We were so busy on Saturday, I didn't take many pictures, but we sure had fun.  The whole gang was on hand to help out.  I have to say a SPECIAL THANK YOU to our "gang," Kimmy, Anna, Mark, George, and Jef for helping out at the show, and for helping us load up.  We had a blast with you!!!!!!!

I took a much needed day off yesterday.

I used the time to "deck the halls" of my home with Christmas cheer.  Here's a preview...

More Christmas decor photos to come...

Fern and Sprout's next show is this Wednesday!!!!!!

Talulah Jones at 17th and Park Ave.

5:30 to 7:30

10% of all sales go to the Waldorf School!!!!

And then, this weekend...

Thank you, again to EVERYONE involved with Holiday Handmade!  See you at the next show!

'Twas the night before Holiday Handmade...

...and all through the house, not a creature was stirring...

...except for my pup who was chewing VERY LOUDLY on his chewie.  Keep it down, Po Po. Heehee.

So - it's finally here - the mother of all events, the big show, the cream-of-the-crop craft fair.

I am so honored to be a part of it.

Doors open at 5,

but get there early tomorrow so you can be one of the first 50 customers,

and get your free "swag bag" with tons o' goodies in it.

Not too mention, you don't want to miss out on all the good stuff.

I'll be there with bells on - literally.

A good time

Tonight was the first night for DIZZIE IZZIE'S HIP HOLIDAY MARKET!

What a great time it was!

There is still one more night to stop by and stock up on some great gifts.

The festivities begin again at 4:30, tomorrow.

9201 East 33rd in Stapleton

Only 2 more days until...

DON'T MISS IT!!!!!!!

In case you do have to miss HOLIDAY HANDMADE, there's always

Talulah Jones - 24 Days of local artists

Wednesday, December 8 - Fern and Sprout

10% of all sales go to the Waldorf School

And...if you still can't make it to that show,

there's always

THE FIREFLY - in Boulder.

I've been busy.

Cheers to a GREAT holiday season!

JINGLE ALL THE WAY!!

Here's one way to spread Christmas cheer! 

New, limited edition jingle flower gardens from Fern and Sprout!

(Don't worry, they are not too jingly.)

How 'bout a jingly cluster?

Jingly shoeclips are the perfect adornment for any holiday party.

Just in time for all the holiday shows!

This week is NONSTOP for Fern and Sprout.

Don't miss...

DIZZIE IZZIE'S HIP HOLIDAY MARKET

tomorrow and Thursday from 4:30-9:00.

(See sidebar for details.)

And I'm counting down to the biggest show of the season...

HOLIDAY HANDMADE!!!!

BUSY!  BUSY! BUSY!

I'm so nervous that I haven't made enough product.  Last year, I stayed up 'til 3am making more product for the second day of the show.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

So excited!!  See you there!

Gonna need lots o' coffee this week.

The trunk show at Kismet was so much fun!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  

Now, it's time to drink my coffee and eat my spinach (just like Popeye,)

so I can stay up extra late and work, work, work to prepare for two GINORMOUS shows coming up this week...

(See sidebar for detailed information.)  Do NOT miss these events!  There will be so many local, handmade vendors with unique goodies for all!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is making headbands for all to wear!

BTW - Did I mention that Holiday Handmade info was in the Denver Post, today!?

They included a picture of a Fern and Sprout Flower Garden headband in the article!

In case you missed it, I will TRY to give you a peek this week,

Ho ho ho to all,

and to all a good night.
