BREAK TIME!

PHEW! Thankfully I am on a break until my next show which will be the Glenwood Avenue Arts Festival in Chicago, August 21-22, 2010!

I will be debuting new felt clippies and lots of GLITTER!

Baby Will is making his arrival in a little under 2 weeks and we have been busy getting our house and lives in order along with a little weekend fun with the kids.

Thank you to the ladies in Minooka who made last Saturday so much fun! It was my last home party until September. I still have some dates open for the remainder of the year so email me if you are interested in hosting a non-pressure, super fun, bow party!

Thank you again, and again, and again for all of your love and support!

YAWZA! I'm behind!

I have been so busy with home shows/craft shows that I haven't updated out here in a MONTH! YIKES!

As everyone who has seen me lately or has been reading knows we will have a new, sweet, addition to our family in just under 4 weeks. If you read our family blog you will know we have so much to do and so little time. Story of our lives. :o)

I am finishing up one more home show at the end of the month and then will be taking a fairly short break (a little over a month) to get settled in to being a mom of 3 all while getting inventory ready for my big yearly event in the city in August. (More info to come!)

September's weekends are filled with more home shows and craft shows, and October and November are filling up fast also.

Thank you all for your continued support of Bootsie Marie and handmade goods!

Custom Shop Closed

If you are a fan on Facebook you will know that I have accepted all of the custom orders that I secretly can't handle. :o) If you are not a Facebook fan yet, shame on you!

I have plenty in regular inventory and will be featured at home parties in June. If you would like an invite to one of them, email me! I will not be publicly advertising the locations due to the parties being held in private homes.

I will be completely off in July for the birth of Baby Will and then will pick back up at the end of August with my big show in the city. WOOT!

The rest of the year is PACKED, PACKED, PACKED with craft shows and plenty of new inventory!

Thank you all for your support!

What is your style?

I was asked this question not so long ago so I thought I would take a few minutes out of my day and let you know. :o)

Simple, "every day wear" items.

As most of you know, I do not do fancy schmancy over the top bows. OK, sometimes I do fancy schmancy flip flops for special occasions or vacations but I like that my items can be worn with any thing, any day. Hey, even I put a aqua bow in Josie's hair when she is wearing pink!

I like clean and simple in my everyday life and I have tranferred that to my work.

I have been working my big, fat, pregnant fingers to get flip flops and bows done for my next show!

Come see me at Marklund in Geneva on May 1st! This is my last real craft show until Baby Will makes his appearance although I have quite a few home shows scheduled before I officially lose any sanity that I may have left. :o)

One more show...one more show...

Pregnant women should not be allowed to do craft shows, let alone two in a row.

It took me 3 days to recover from the CRAZY Saturday at Minooka High School!

This Saturday I will be at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora from 9-3.

COME SEE ME!

Waubonsie High School is on the corner of Ogden & Eola in Aurora and admission is $2.
