Well here we are halfway through the Holiday Craft season and it just seems to be getting crazier each year. This year I started making name ornaments and those have been keeping us busy, busy, busy. We are having fun doing it but I believe both my wife and I are really looking forward to the end of the holiday craft season. We picked up 2 more shows this year. Both of the shows are in Glens Falls NY, one of them was at the Catholic School and the last one is at the Methodist church a few miles down the road.
Here are some pictures of our latest set up. The top picture is of our bi-fold doors. They seem to make a
great ornament stand for all of our holiday ornaments.
The next picture is of my lovely wife setting out some fingerless gloves and old fashioned hand warmer muffs that our youngest daughter asked us to sell for her. She is trying to get into the craft show circuit with her own talents and tastes.
I have been working on our son-in-law trying to drag him into the scroll saw business with me but he does live to far away so he helps me out part time when he and our oldest daughter have the time.
This year our newest endeavour is wine bottle balancers. They have been slow to sell but everyone who walks by us has to stop and take a look or three at the display. When they ask how do they do that I tell them "my wife says it physics but I believe its magic" Most folks just smile but I did have one physics teacher tell me it was simple physics. Some people just don't have a sense of humor. I took a few different patterns and combined them into the wine balancers. In the area we live in, covered bridges are a big thing so those are our biggest sellers to date.
Well Mom is on her way to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. I have an Aunt and Cousin who will be here for the big day also so I have to cut this short and get to cleaning and getting ready for the festivities. Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
