Such wonderful things! I am going to Texas next month and will check out Diane in Katy, Texas.
ReplyDeleteIs this not the greatest advertising tool? Your booth looks so pretty and well organized. Hope you have a wonderful show!

You guys make it look so easy! But I know it isn't. That's part of your craft, you make beauty and style look effortless. Please God, let me make it to Canton just once! THAT'S ALL I ASK!!! :-)

Hi Troy:
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I saw that I liked was that bunny! So, if you do shipping, could I get a pair of baby shoes? (dliljegren at brynwoodneedleworks dot com) Thanks for the photos. Now I feel REALLY bad that we live so far apart!

Troy, sorry I didn't get over to see y'all, a tooth ache wouldn't let me stay long!
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHH junk! I looooooove junk! Wish I lived in canton!
ReplyDeleteReally like the picket fence signs......very unique! Lynn
ReplyDeleteHello Troy and Rod! I'm one of those 'I read your blog and so excited to meet you' shoppers from Canton. Bought some of your stuff the first day I was there (cold and rainy) and came back the next day (beautiful!) and bought even more! Canton is something to see - amazing! Nothing like it in Nebraska! I knew you were on my favorites list but I see that I have been following you for awhile as well. So great to meet 'celebrity' bloggers! I'll show pics of my trip after I unpack all of my treasures so I hope you'll come and visit me! -- Connie
