Cascade Heights and PCC!

These past two weeks have been a whirl wind! Between getting ready for finals, slaying finals, bazaars and custom orders we are ready for Christmas break!

Saturday the first we were at Cascade Heights public charter school. Now Karis and I have never heard of this school and I vaguely knew what a charter school was. To say the least we didn't know what to expect. We set up shop the night before and arrived Saturday morning expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

It was a blast! We were busy most of the day and most of the people we were having transactions with were kids. They were pretty amazing.

 Karis of course.
Soon I'll put up pictures of both of us. So you know we are both real.

We loved this bazaar! I heard whispers and them doing it again next year but trying to advertise it more. We will be there. ;D

We met a wonderful lady who was selling reusable sandwich bags that Karis fell in love with. Check her out at her Etsy shop!

And our box farm animals. Always a hit!

The Portland Community College bazaar was interesting. We knew about this one because Karis used to go to PCC for Japanese. So it is understood by all persons involved PCC is a FLYING PONY away from our house. To get there we took the Sellwood bridge which is a nightmare in the morning. After traversing the treacherous roads we made camp in the college center of the campus. It was a very long bazaar (8am - 6pm) and it felt like it was slow going. We did loose quite a bit of sales because we do not accept debit while we are at bazaars. So next year, or maybe as soon as spring, expect us to have the fancy square! The marvelous device that quickly and simply allows us to take your money.

WOW! This is a longer than usual post. I am sorry for the longedness and dryedness. I hope future posts are more joyful and glorious.

I want to give a shout out to one of our followers Markus. Follow his blog here. Here is a cute male fellow who lives in Europe, as I'm told. He has an adorable pattern on his blog for a christmas tree. Thanks for being amazing Markus!

Beaverton Bazaar 2012

Can I say that we got 17 pages views yesterday. While I am going to assume it wasn't all the same person that is pretty freakn awesome. 

Sorry for the late update but here is some info on the Beaverton Bazaar. 
Karis and I left home with high hopes as we headed to the delightful town of Beaverton. We could smell the winds of change and money. We had a very positive feeling and hopes the day would bode well for us. 

So of course it started out pretty difficult. Beaverton is a little bit of a jaunt for us to go to. The rain was very intense ( as it usually is in beautiful Oregon) so Karis got to feel what hydroplaning is. But don't worry! We live in Oregon, we know what to do. 

When we set our eyes on Beaverton high school we parked up front, for easier unloading of course. We had some early trouble finding our table but soon settled down and set up shop. 

<------ There I am. I don't know what I was thinking when I made that face.

                                                                                   There is Karis. Like I said, we were having a tough morning.

And toys! Of course toys. And don't worry you guys, we told every customer they could find us on Etsy. (Return customers perhaps?)

All in all it was a great day at Beaverton. We had really great sales and we bought some stuff for christmas.

Try to buy local! Hazzah!

Thanks to the lady who helped find us a table and spot, thanks to the band players who put on beautiful music brought us pizza to buy and bought some toys from us.

This up coming weekend, December 1st, we are going to be at Cascade Heights public charter school. We have never been to this bazaar and I have never heard of this school. We don't really know what to expect, but you know we are going to look good doing it. ;D

We will update you guys soon. 

Etsy friends

Since opening our shop on Etsy we've met so many talented kind people!

Today I'd like to promote a little shop named Texaslils

She has some fabulous scarves and adorable booties! She's a fellow crocheter living in NC (Which we assume is North Carolina)

Here's our favorite item from her shop <3
