Saturday is an event called "WhiMsy" in our community. It is a craft/home-based business/independent consultant/gathering of creative people. Last fall was the first time it was held, sponsored by the area chamber of commerce. There were people from Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Tupperware, At Home America, Scentsy, Watkins, Fuller Brush, Close to My Heart scrapbooking, china painting, crafts of all kinds, foods, and lots more. Jamie, my neighbor and fellow librarian, and I are going to have a table of all kinds of scrapbooking ideas, my fairy quilts in a jar, muslin gift bags, calendars and photo albums, and lots more. She also will have a table with her Pampered Chef and Close to My Heart items for sale, too. Here's a photo of some of our "Memory Boxes" we had last fall at the Whimsy. We will be having a sale on the ones we have left on Saturday.
Our community is just under 3,000 people, and it is sometimes difficult to get people to turn out in droves for these kinds of shows. We are fortunate this weekend that there is a big volleyball tournament in town with something like 40 teams from around the area and state. So we are hoping that gals will come and check out our goodies when there is a break in their kids' games. Part of the challenge will be to make some clever signage, etc., along the highways that will entice people to stop in! Jamie has her Cricut going and Nancy and Kendra from the chamber are helping put together some pretty cool signs for along the highways!
