As many of you know – once apple season slows down – crafting season begins for me! One of the big things that I do in December is the Craftacular in Madison. The show is actually going to be tomorrow, December 3rd from 10-5 at the East Side Club. I hope you stop by if you have a chance or are in the area.
Also – the apple store itself will be open tomorrow from 9 to 12. If you need cider, apples, honey, canned goods, etc, feel free to stop on in.
Here’s some links to ‘sneak peaks’ I’ve given about vendors you’ll see there:
If you’re just tuning in here are previous Craftacular Posts:
Now, I’m going to talk a little about what I’m offering and how I altered my display a bit.
One thing that is going to be different this year is that I won’t have a lot of quilts, bags, or aprons. If there was anything that you wanted to look at please let me know now and I’ll be sure to pack it along.
One of the new things I’m offering this year are tutu’s. I made both my girls one for their Halloween costume and I loved them so much I had to make more for you all to pick from! Not only are there fantastic tutu’s but there is also a good selection of ‘Magic Apple Wands’, funky headbands, and fun hair pins.
If any of you remember my display from previous years it was all just brown wood. Well, earlier this week I decided to modify it a bit – I spray painted the earring racks and other display items with chalkboard paint. I tried to spray paint a few of my apple crates white but that really didn’t work so I had to go to brush painting white. I think the white will really help you see into the crates at what’s displayed inside. Overall – I’m really happy with the new look and can’t wait to see what you all think tomorrow!

Another new item I have this year are hand-dyed t-shirt rosette head bands. Of course, I had to get some fun manikin heads to put them on! 
Here is a close-up of my earring racks. I organized my earrings this year by price and then wrote with a chalk pen next to them how much they are. This will hopefully ease your ability to shop for the perfect pair! 
Every time I tried a different tutu on Capri she would come up with a new dance move! It’s amazing what those little circles of tulle will do to your child!
I will also be having a few ‘craftacular’ specials on earrings and ornaments so be sure to stop by my booth! Hope to see many of you at the show tomorrow!
