Reevaluating


It was not an easy decision to stop doing local craft fairs, but I think it was for the best. I love the interaction with people and the ideas and feedback. My umbrellas just did not sell well in this environment. I think it is an item that is bought mostly for oneself, and not as a gift. If I am lucky, I may run into 2-3 people at any given show that need a second line umbrella. While people hop on google to specifically look for an umbrella for their event. I also enjoy having my weekends back.

Chickens: Part 1




Here our lovely ladies are only 3-4 weeks old. I located them on craigslist, and picked them up a few hours later. Twelve dollars bought me 6 chicks and five pounds of chicken feed. Not a bad deal. They are black sexlinks with a nice temperment. These are old pictures from early March. I will post new ones as soon as I get around to taking them.

Treme Under the Bridge Market


Well, going to give this market a spin on saturday from 11-3. I always like trying new venues. If for no other reason...it is always interesting. I am going to brink out more of my gothic and steampunk umbrellas as to not clash with the local second line folks who may live in the neighborhood.
