Craft Show! : Christmas in Medina Celebration 2011
Things have finally slowed down enough for me to post pictures from the Christmas in Medina show!
The Barn Owls are super popular! Almost all of them were gone by the end of the day!
This is my sister-in-law-to-be, Nicole! (with kitty ears she bought from me!) She, her mother, and my brother were in town for Thanksgiving from Staten Island.

I wish they'd do something cool with this abandoned theater. It made me happy that they at least changed the marquee`.
Luna hanging out.
After packing up my booth, we had dinner at the Shirt Factory Cafe, then went back to the truck to watch the "Parade of Lights". Our friends met us there with their kids, and the kids sat in the bed of the truck with me to watch the parade. We always have a perfect parking spot to watch the parade due to packing up from the craft show.
There were a lot of fun floats. This is the only parade I've gone to at night. It's pretty fun seeing all the floats & vehicles lit up with Christmas lights.

CLOTHING SWAP TONIGHT!
This weekend was a whirlwind with the First Friday (and Saturday) Craftmas Show at the Hungerford, but it was a blast! I promise I'll update the blog with pictures from my recent shows soon! Tonight is my last major event commitment for the month...then I am focusing on getting gifts made and wrapped for family members!
I have no idea how tonight will go or how many people will be coming...but those of us that are there will have fun! (Need directions?...Check the Facebook Event!)
I've been having fun designing the signage for this! I designed a bunch of signs to put on the tables to organize the clothes...
