Fall in LOVE with handmade urban craft fair joins forces with Heart of the Winter Celebration!

I am sooo sooo so excited about this! I will post more soon but here is most of the info. that you would

need to be a vendor.....

Fall in Love with Handmade Urban Craft fair was invited to join forces with Caramel Crisp & Cafe to be a part of their Heart of the winter celebration (which is also a huge fund raiser for a local shelter). If you know Chanda the owner of Caramel Crisp/ organizer of this event ,she is passionate about our community here in Oshkosh & makes things happen. This event has been going on now for a few years. It will be held at the Oshkosh Convention Center right down town on the river all the way to the Leach Amphitheater & events will take place from a craft show (which is where we come in) to ice sculptors, a possible ice skating rink, food, dog sleds, a mini marathon (the snowflake shuffle) & sooo much more! I am super excited to be asked to be a part of this, all of this is to raise money for the local Day by Day warming shelter.

I have been given about 7000 sq ft space to run our craft show, so Fall in Love with Handmade will take place at the Convention Center from 9-2, Saturday February 13th (this is in the center of all of the activities & where most people have to go
to sign up for the different events throughout the day. We can host 39 vendors with 8x8 booth spaces, tables provided as well as table cloths & some booths can have electricity (no extra cost) but please specify if you need it. The cost is $50 for a booth & the best part I will be donating half of our collected booth fees to the Day by Day warming shelter! This is already getting a lot of attention & we will be ordering over 200 posters, flyers & is a huge networking system of amazing people in Oshkosh that make great things happen! 😊

If you are interested please email me at handmadefortheholidays@hotmail.com with your business name & a $25 down payment to hold your booth space (the other $25 will be due by Feb. 1st, 2016.) This is still a juried show & we may be full in certain categories, vendors will be accepted first come, first serve. 

You can send payment via paypal to daintydasies01@hotmail.com  (please be sure to spell my email address the way it is shown here, you can also email me for a mailing address to mail a check.)

 Happy New Year!!! smile emoticon

If I missed any info. please feel free to email me.

Happy Holidays everyone!!! xo! 

Life lately...

.....has consisted of 

lots of making, craft shows &

our families.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with 

both of our families & 

now the hustle & bustle of the 

end of the holiday season! 

I swear it goes soooo fast each year!

I have been having a lot

of fun making these sweet little yarn 

wreaths & I am so thankful

that many of them found 

new homes this season. 

I tend to work on them late at 

night watching TV with a fire &

my hubby by my side. 

I recently got new glasses! I 

can't say enough about Zenni Optical. 

I love their glasses & you

can't beat their prices.

We had all of our kids this past weekend 

& headed out to cut down our tree..

well to save you from a really long but 

funny story we stopped by 

Lowe's & picked this fresh tree.

It's really beautiful but

not exactly what we had planned

thanks to a bad website with a link address

to a parking lot

& no time! 

I have two more shows this 

season but I am looking forward to 

enjoying the season & trying to slow it 

down! 

xoxo! 

Thank you for buying handmade this holiday season!

Phew! I don't know about you

but with 3 holiday shows under my belt

this season is flying by! 

This past Saturday was the event that

I organize & put my heart, soul

into

Handmade for the Holidays! 

It was a huge success & I am so thankful

for the Oshkosh area

community! 

Thank you Oshkosh

& the Fox Valley! 

( Santa photo of me & my hubby!)

My booth at the Crafty Fair in Madison

a few weeks ago...

 & some adorable Santa mugs that I 

made for HFTH. I

sold most of them but a few will 

head to Madison with me 

Saturday for the 

Holiday Craftacular!

Happy Monday friends! 

I have so much to be thankful for 

this Thanksgiving & everyday!

xo! 

I ♥ Fall!

I  love Fall! 

I love the coziness of

this time of year & I think 

that is when I fall in 

love with warm coffee drinks all over again. 

I used to be pretty set in my ways with coffee

but I have been trying new things. 

I work from home so many

days I don't even leave my house.. 

let alone get to the coffee shop.

I must say I do love 

our local coffee shops here in 

Oshkosh so it is a treat for me! :)

I came up with a new morning coffee

that tastes better then the average 

caramel cafe latte. 

I bring 1 1/2 cups of milk (I use skim)'

to a boil & add 3 heaping 

tablespoons of Maxwell House international

vanilla caramel latte mix!

So yummy! You could even 

add whip cream if you want!

It's my new Fall favorite treat! 

I also recently (as in yesterday)

finally got my hair cut! I went 

pretty short again &

I LOVE IT! 

I had to show off my new knit cowl

that I traded my friend Vanessa

of Baily Belle for &

my recently thrifted Fall

jumper (I beleive it was $1.99)

Happy Fall!!! 

I added a new show to my list so 

NEXT UP... The Artery holiday show

in Downtown Appleton Nov. 7th! 

(I will post more info. soon)

xoxo! 

Fall finds!

I am kind of loving Fall 

right now with chilly

mornings & warm afternoons!

October may be one of my

very favorite months.

Speaking of Fall, I needed some

new seasonal clothing items.

I have decided to try & thrift

95% of my wardrobe. 

There are just some things

you shouldn't thrift.. you know! ;)

This shouldn't be hard since I do this 

anyway but after 

buying a new & kind of expensive dress,

wearing it once & having it rip that

was it! 

I have been so happy with my 

finds! Today I found

this sweater for $2.39, shoes (never worn) $2

& the vintage knit hat for $3.

I also bought a few dresses

& spent under $30 total. 

That new dress that I was 

talking about.. was $40 for

one dress!

I also recently bought 

new glasses as my prescription

changed while ago. 

I found these cute frames 

at Zenni optical online. 

I bought both pairs

for under $25. with 

shipping! 

Happy Fall friends! xo!

This is the last

week at our apartment so

it's moving crunch time!

Happy Tuesday friends..

I'm off to box up more stuff! :) 

Scenes from our new home!

We are currently moving into 

our new home! I say moving because

 we have been living between our 

apartment & new house this month! 

We bought some new curtains &

got at least the new living room set up

so it feels like a home!

It's been a bit stressful living between two 

homes but I have found what helps is 

keeping one of the two organized! I guess 

as organized as you can be during a move.

Our new house has a lot more storage &

a full basement!

We have plenty of room for storage which

we lacked in our apartment. 

We apparently LOVE foxes! :)

I love this picture of  our collection

of prints from our bedroom. 

The new kitchen is looking as kitschy 

as ever with my collection of vintage

salt & pepper shakers! 

I am kind of in love with the retro 

goodness that is our kitchen 

not too mention that window over

looks our backyard! 

Did I mention that we have a 

BACKYARD!!! I am

so excited to have our own 

yard!!

Beautiful pears from our PEAR TREE! 

We have a pear tree in our backyard!

We know nothing about it but

figure we will learn! 

We have picked over 40 pears, 

our landlord picked some &

some friends of ours stopped by 

& grabbed a bunch! That is 

alot of pears! 

Our friends also brought us a

sweet house warming gift. 

A cute little plant &

some Cupcake brand 

Moscato wine! :)

This week has been busy! I registered this guy, 

my handsome son for 7th grade! Where

did the time go? We went for lunch after, it was nice

to get some one on one time with him!

I will be busy, busy the next few weeks but

I promise to pop back in as I can!

I will also be at the downtown

Appleton farmers market this Saturday

from 8-12:30 selling my wares!

I have new fall scarves &

a huge sale bin of goodies

for under $5. Stop by!

but they left some of the original

character like the pink & black subway tile

in the bathroom & the vanity.

 

 

The kitchen is pink too! I am so in love

with the retro style, pink counter &

back splash not too mention

the frosted glass cupboard doors!

 

Things have been a bit crazy around here!

I have been busy, busy with

the farmers market & keeping up
