Delayed- but here are my craft show pictures

So, for those of you interested in my show I did recently I now have pictures to show you of a glimpse of the products I had- not near all of them, but it will give you an idea.  If any of you are curious what sells the best for a crafty lady at a show my answer to you would be- there is no way to know. Make what comes from the heart, display the best way and most original way possible and then you will succeed in your heart. Do not make things just to make them- make the things you love!  For instance as far as original display's you will see how I had my jewelry and pins displayed and I had even more jewelry I have on a glass cake stand. And brooches in a white ornate bowl. I had my cards Decoratively wrapped in plastic bags to protect them and tied with a sweet tie and a jeweled tag.  Some of you may not want to go to that much work for a craft show- but I promise with each show I have upped the last with both display and customer service & it pays off! (this year I gift wrapped all purchased gifts for free with a personalized sticker). Also get to know the other vendors who's items you like- but aren't your type of product and who's personality you click with. Then you can throw a vendor fair at one of your homes with private friends and family in a much more relaxed setting.  2 of the vendor's there and myself are already cooking something up- hope to tell you soon all about it!  From the fun foods we will serve to the fun drinks and the success or lack there of- but I am thinking positively on this one! Hope you enjoyed this long post- and the pics!

So In Love!

I am always amazed by the blog world. There are a few blogs I usually frequent, dreamy whites is one  of them- she did a article on Jeanne Oliver/ jeanneoliverdesigns.com/blog/ Oh my- she has a line of gorgeous clothes, bags and amazing style sort of vintage, but new. I had to share this exciting find with all of you- visit her- she is giving away 500.00 gift card to her shop of fab finds. Hope you take a peak it is truly worth your time. Love her header on her blog, love her style and I think you will too!

A precious package

Today I am hoping to add bliss to someone else's day, a hand written note. A sweetly wrapped gift, hopefully a cherished item or two. I want to put together a love box for a very special person in my life. Do you do things for people just because? If you did what would it be and would you take the time to sweetly wrap it up elegantly, would you send something via email gift wrapped, or buy something unique from a local shop and send it miles away- or maybe something from the crafty folks on etsy. However you would send your love gift, let me know. Here is to hoping you have a blissful day.

Somerset Life

Have you ever read Somerset Life? Oh how I could get lost in the glorious pages.  Filled with ideas of making your life a bit more well..... blissful if I may. It truly gives you such lovely ideas and wonderful articles to get lost in with a good cup of tea.  It has a fairly high price tag for a magazine of 14.99, but well worth every penny if you ask me. It is one of those I buy to save for a plane ride or for a quiet night when my husband is away with friends.  It gives me that bit of bliss. They also have other glorious versions if you are into jewelry making- I get that one as well, also they do have versions for people who love to stamp or make aprons, which I love all of the above.  Some day I wish to have every magazine they make every month, I adore them that much.  So I highly recommend them for anyone who longs for a crafty life.
Goodbye for now my friends- until next time- grab yourself a blissful magazine and carve out some time for yourself- go on, you deserve it!

Merci!

To all of you who visited with me at my table at the vendor fair at the hospital. It is always fun meeting new faces, seeing how people take in my work. You all were wonderful. I love what I do, I hope that you left with that blissful feeling, even if it meant walking by my table and enjoying the view or enjoying a sample from Gypsy girl Granola- with my dear friend Suzi! Or my wonderful neighbor selling the fab salt city candles, I have two warmers and loads of bricks to burn my favorite blissful blend of lavender vanilla! I hope you enjoyed your day, I hope it made your work day a bit more well- blissful:)  Please feel free to contact me with any questions! I hope you love your purchase or if you bought a gift that they loved theirs! Merci to you all! ~Jessica

Craft show week!

I can not believe when I looked my planner over for the week that this is my big craft show week!  I am excited and feeling a tad unprepared- I always do until they table is set and ready to go.  I do still have pricing to do and such.  I try to use a lot of old silver platers and pretty pie plates to put my things on. I am amping it up a bit this year so I hope it turns out as I have planned in my head! I will take pictures, and post them lots to do this week! Enjoy your week!

Bienvenue ~ Welcome!

Spring always bring to me a since of welcoming.  Everyone decorating the outdoors of their homes and spring cleaning the indoors! I thought about what I was doing around my house to welcome others.  What I needed to do to host what I hope is a tea party for some friends, which of course has to be the creme de la crem. I am thinking of favor bags maybe tied in a vintage hanky. In my opinion I think of French and I think of such welcoming things- for instance my last posting of my love of lavender. Not to mention their fabulous linens and well extraordinare way they have of making things feel extra fancy.  Some day let me take a trip to paris- I will say "oh la la " as soon as I set eyes on it I am sure!
