Aiken's Makin' 2011

Lori and I were at Aiken's Makin' this weekend. It's a great street craft fair in Aiken, SC, held every September. Aiken a beautiful little city, with a wonderful downtown area.

Here's our booth on Friday.

We made some changes on Saturday, including adding a shelf for the fabric baskets. I think it helped a lot.

If you look across the walkway from our booth, you will see what may be the most interesting tree in history, judging by the number of children who stopped to check it out. We heard them guessing what it was, everything from a raccoon house to a trash can.

Silly children, of course fairies live there.

Yikes! I can't believe I've been down for TWO WEEKS with this cold! I think I'm on the road to recovery, just still have a little sniffle and a slight cough (feeling sorry for me yet?).

In the meantime, I've gotten enough energy back to panic about the big craft show in Aiken this weekend. We're in Aiken's Makin' for the first time and I'm so excited. It's got a great reputation as a successful show for lots of crafters. This past weekend was a flurry of last minute sewing and crocheting, and I'm hoping to get at least one more shopping tote made before the show starts tomorrow.

Wish me luck!
