My Little Peeplet ~ How exciting! We are having a little girl =D She is definitely swimming around quite a lot, apparently she’s just like her mama who doesn’t like to sit still for a moment! I can already tell that some of these shows I am signed up for are going to be a bit difficult not buying all sorts of things for her. Just very very excited for this peeplet to join our lives.

Craft Show Review ~ This past weekend was the first craft show of the year for wearableJULES at Crafty Balboa April Showers. This was the second year of attending the show and I have to admit its a lovely indie craft show. There are 45 vendors at the top of their game. The beginning of the show generally runs a little slow but by the last half traffic picks up (both years). This is not a huge money maker, but for the price of the booth + short hours + low overhead = a pretty good show to get your name out there and add a bit of cash for your business. Major downfall is parking… I was lucky enough to get a prime spot but last year took me 45 minutes to find a spot. All in all though I give this show a thumbs up and will hopefully do the show again next year.

More Shows To Come ~ Happy to announce wearableJULES will be attending for the first time the Baltimore Artscape this year from July 20-22. I have been told several years now that this is a must attend show. Plus I love Baltimore so I always love a reason to go! Once I find out more details about booth location I will be sure to let you know closer to the event!
