Artisan fair, an ode to Grandmothers

It's been a busy week...  getting ready for this Artisan Fair at Regent College, preparing for all the little things happening here in my "day job" and the mommy part.  But I got to sit today from 9am-5pm and knit.  And talk.  And drink coffee.  And barter my goods for other people's lovely handmade things.  All in all, a fun and worth while day.  
 I sold a lot of hats, and a  few pairs of earrings.  These headbands were pretty popular and I'm still working on making some more now!  In a moment of inspiration last night around midnight I printed off these little cards to be both a price tag and sort of business card with my contact info.  Who knew they would be so useful?  I have 6 orders to get done next week already!  That is pretty exciting for me!  My other moment of inspiration was cutting bangs.  I'm not sure that was such a good idea though.
 Anyway, it was a fun day and I'm glad I had a chance for a creative outlet.  I should call this my "grandmothers' table"
One side is a trade I learned from one grandmother, and the other side a trade I learned from the other.
Grandmothers are wonderful, aren't they?  Thanks Gigi and Gram for the time spent giving me something beautiful to do!
