Come to the Spring Spree!

As you may remember, I am going to be part of a spring bazaar this coming Saturday, March 20th. It's officially called the Spring Spree, and it will be held at Kankakee First Church of the Nazarene from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Here's the official poster for the event:

Sorry if that info at the bottom is hard to see. Basically it's trying to entice you to come by telling you about some of the big name vendors: Scentsy, Mary Kay, Tupperware, Lia Sophia, Avon, and the like. (Just for the record, I think "Scentsy" is a pretty dumb name.) There are 31 vendors total, and their wares run the gamut of possibilities. I'm looking at the list now, and really, there's a great variety. I only see one other booth with anything close to what I'm selling (girls' dresses, in her case--I'm assuming handmade), so maybe I'll stand out?? I don't really care how I do, honestly. I'm just excited to do it. Also, Julie, the director, put my table close to the moms' group (some friends of mine), and they are doing a bake sale, so COOKIES.

Oh, yeah, the info. So you know the time. Kankakee First Church is located at 1000 N. Entrance Ave. in Kankakee, IL (zip code 60901), just south of Bishop McNamara High School. Here is the Google map (I hope. I'm not very good at Google Maps, for whatever reason.) (Side note: Who would put a negative review of a church on a map site? I don't think she's doing that at the correct place.) Kankakee is about an hour south of Chicago, right off of I-57, and it, Bourbonnais, and Bradley all work together to form a thriving and not-so-small community.

Please come out if you can! All of these vendors would appreciate your support, and I especially will, as I am still nervous. I'm excited, but it's a very nervous excited, like everything inside of me is very wobbly.

Oh yeah! What am I selling? Well, here's a sneak peek.

First up, nursing covers:

This is a selection of the vibrantly-colored nursing covers I will have for sale. Nurse your baby in style and don't be ashamed of it is really my philosophy on the subject.

I also have lots of coordinating bibs and burp rags. Here are some of the (unfinished) bibs:

Bibs and burp rags were a great way to use up the small amounts of fabric I had leftover after making my covers. Plus they are easy and fun to put together. (Pardon the messy state of my ironing board. Pretty much my entire house looks like it has vomited fabric and thread.)

I'm also going to sell some hand-embroidered onesies and baby shirts:

I know that's not a very close-up shot, but all of those designs are made of hand-felted wool that I have stitched on with embroidery thread. By hand. I like making them, but they take a while, I'll be honest.

So if anything here catches your fancy (or if you just want to come chat and cheer me on), come visit the Spring Spree this Saturday. And if you're not able to come, be watching my Etsy site for any leftovers that don't get sold this Saturday. Little Miss Fat Bottom herself would be thrilled to send you one of her fabulous originals.

(In case you didn't know, "Little Miss Fat Bottom" is one of our nicknames for Baby C. She is a natural at running a business, I tell you what.)
