If you’re in the area, be sure to check out the Handmade Brigade of Orange County Indie Holiday Craft Show at The Camp in Costa Mesa this coming Sunday on November 1st, 2009. Click here for a Google map to The Camp. There are over 40 vendors selling the most amazing creations and I’ll have a table with my wares too. Here’s a tiny smattering (there was too much to choose from for my nine-pic mosaic!) of what you might find. This will not be your typical craft show! Come early and get a free goody bag – a handmade HBOC printed recycled t-shirt bag filled, well, really stuffed to the gills with great swag and goodies from vendors and sponsors. You don’t want to miss out on these!

I only got to vend at two other Los Angeles Derby Dolls bouts and this will be my last one <sniff… sniff…>. They were a ton of fun to attend and the people that go to the bouts are really awesome. Today I am finally going to list a ton of stuff (UGH!) that I created for Patchwork on my Etsy shop and have just sitting around the house. There are a ton of really cute sundae parfait ice cream necklaces that are totally cute! I posted pretty much everything on my Flickr page including my jellybean charm bracelet and earrings, banana strawberry sundae necklace, citrus parfait necklace, green tea icecream with mochi Japanese parfait, sushi cell phone charm, doughnut shoppe purse charm, my fun chocolate fudge ice cream popsicle keychains (or purse charms), and tons of other stuff!

Patchwork is over and I am so tired! But it’s back to work today and this weekend photographing all the stuff that I created for the show and didn’t get to list in my Etsy shop yet. The show was great and I had a ton of sales and wonderful people come to visit my little booth. I even got to use my tiny fridge and stove that I bought (thanks PeachyChicBoutique and bunnypig !!!!) and tons of compliments on them! By the way… disregard the ol’ crappy Ford Probe on the right, that’s NOT part of my display! Yeah, that wooden hand sculpture on top of the rice box is giving the bird! I love that thing!

Until later! ®oscata

So I’m doing another craft fair that I’m really excited about. It’s an event through Handmade District (thanks Kayte of Lucky Find Designs!!!) at To Die For Clothing in Costa Mesa, CA. The best part is that there are only a small number of vendors and hopefully there will be tons of people that want to buy my little stuff!
There is $1 fee to cover the cost of printing and posting flyers around. The event is sponsored by Handmade District, To Die For, KidRobot and tons of others! This one will be fun and have some amazing stuff!

I’m so excited! I get to go to Patchwork in Santa Ana! I’ve been working like crazy to get enough stuff together and have a lot of awesome inventory for the show. I’ve been making some really cute fudge covered ice cream treats (remember Dove Bars?) with gooey fudge dripping down over ice cream on a stick! I also added cute crystal embellishments to make them ultra-girly! I’ll take pictures tonight and post them later.
