Oh, poor blog, you've been so neglected lately! I didn't even mention that I had a table at Crafty Wonderland last weekend. Well, I'll at least let you know the results: a great trade with Moss!
First up is a delightful embroidered bee necklace. Bees are one of my three or four favorite animals, so when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, I was a few dollars shy of the asking price, so Kieran (my trusty sidekick) initiated a trade. (Trades, of course, being the most favorite of my favorite animals.)
The lovely proprietress of Moss, Lady Diana, seems to love trades as much as me, and we began the delicate "No, your stuff is underpriced!" "No, your stuff is underpriced!" "No, I insist, take two!" "No, no, you take three!" argument that is so amazingly free of ego (ah, the undervaluing of one's own goods...) and resulted in this lucky girl walking home with this beauty as well:
A tiny crocheted acorn! This piece is so beautiful and delicate. She crochets them out of embroidery floss, to give you an idea of the size.
Of course, now I'm coveting one of these, so I'll have to save up before the next Crafty Wonderland:
I just love a good craft fair.
