T Stands for Food and Fun!
Well, that week just flew by.....and now it's time to join Elizabeth and the T-gang once again for a food and/or drink post....... a weekly gathering of friends!
I'm dropping back to December, when my Bible Art Journaling group came together for a Christmas lunch and a quick craft. I'm not sure which they like to do better....eat or craft or Bible Journaling!
We had a veggie Quiche, chips and dips, pizza, tamales, pasta salad, pumpkin pie and I can't remember what else........I just know it was way more than the 5 of us could ever eat in a day!
Before lunch we did a quick little Christmas craft. We painted pint jars with Mod Podge and then rolled them in a mix of Epson salt and glitter. We used jute and little holiday pieces for the decoration. They are little luminaries made for the battery operated candles......or regular small candles.
This is Miss Pattie showing off the two she made.
BACK TO THIS PAST WEEK AND A CRAFT FAIR
no, the arch on the wall is not mine. |
A painting friend wanted to participate in a local craft fair, and wanted me to go with her. I had to hurry and get something whipped up besides just my painting........which were NOT priced for a craft fair........but we wanted to get our names, as painters, out.
They had a fair amount of crafters, still mostly vendors of home party items. It was a nice set up BUT it was in a really hard to find location, without much foot traffic,and we nearly froze, the building was so cold. We were wishing we had chose to be outside.......but at the time we committed it was blowing cold and raining.
These types of things really are not what I like to do, guess it's because I did so many of them YEARS ago, but I wanted to support my friend.
Did we make money?........LOL! We made enough to pay for our spots and a couple bucks. People don't shop craft fairs, around here, like they used to. When she asked me if I would do an other one.....I said not thank you to this particular venue. I might consider one in the fall, just because I like to make Christmas stuff......LOL!
Last week we had a pretty good storm roll through. A lot of wind and rain, and snow in the mountains, closing a few roads for a couple of hours. The sun is shinning today, or right now anyway, I have two forecasts.......one just says cloudy and one says 50% chance of rain this afternoon. I guess I'll just wait and see.
I see that the mid west and east coast are getting a lot of snow. I pray all of you in these parts of the country stay safe and warm.
Well, that's a "WRAP" for this week. Thanks for stopping by, hope you take a moment to leave me a comment.
Have a blessed day and a glorious week!

Happy T day!
Have a great T Day
Love Chrissie xx
I don't think I would enjoy having my own booth though-Happy T hugs Kathy
I remember how much work craft fairs were and am really glad I don't have to do them anymore. Christmas ones were the most fun because like you said, Christmas stuff is fun to make, but also because people like to buy Christmas stuff ;-)
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
Our reading Group gatherings always seem to have far too much food for us to eat as well and we are always tempted to eat more than we really need to.
Craft fairs are hard to make profits, at least you covered your costs and were able to show your wonderful art pieces.
Happy T day wishes.

Happy T-Day dear Krisha!
Big hugs, Susi
Your craft fair table looks lovely but I hear craft fairs are a lot of work.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I want some of that quiche and did I see deviled eggs? It all looks great. BTW, I love the candle holders, but what is the purpose of the epsom salts? I understand Mod Podge and glitter, but the epson salts don't seem to fit.
I have only been to one craft fair in the past three years. The problem is, the venues all charge between four and six dollars just to get into the events. I won't pay that just to get in to look at crafts. Art fairs are better. There, you don't pay and you get to meet some pretty incredible artists, real artists, like yourself, NOT crafters. At least you made enough to pay for your booth/table and that was important.
Thanks for sharing these two events and your candle holders with us for T this Tuesday.
Those candle holders look really nice and seem very easy to make.
Very kind of you to help your friend out at the craft fair. It's not really my thing either. It's not really worth the trouble (and the cold). Nowadays people sell on Etsy online.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Happy belated T Day!
