Occoquan Craft Show Results

 

We had a wonderful time at the Occoquan Fall Arts & Crafts Fair over the weekend.  We kept my booth setup unchanged and the pink Frigidaire and pink stove drew lots of people in to check out my Retro Revival products.

 

 

 

We sold a good number of shower caps and pot mitts, and a few sleep masks and insulated travel flat iron cases, but as is normal for our shows, the biggest hit was my aprons.  This was my 13th show and I'm still tickled to see the smiling faces of my customers, and I'm always delighted when they so willingly pose for pictures!

 

 

I've designed my aprons to fit most, ladies sized 2 -22.  My customers are all sizes and shapes and ages too, but most of my customers at this show were between 24 and 32.  I love that so many younger women are into aprons!

 

 

My favorite picture of the weekend:

 

 

 

Doing these shows really is exhausting.  The loading, unloading and packing up, and standing on your feet all day.  But it's totally worth it because nothing beats interacting with the happiest people ~ apron lovers!

Merry July & Happy Summer {Christmas Aprons}

Let me explain!

 

 

 

I know it's obnoxious to walk through stores in the middle of summer and be assaulted with aisles of Christmas decorations!  But while most Americans are wading in the ocean waters, picnicking, and perfecting their grilling techniques, retailers are gearing up for the holiday season, the busiest and most fruitful time of the year.

 

 

Like a Santa elf, I've been holed up in my studio, stitching away, creating a sack full of Retro Revival Christmas-themed aprons in preparation for my fall shows.  Christmas fabric or not, as I'm sewing, I'm daydreaming about our upcoming trip to the beach!  Sand and jingle bells ~ weird, right?!

 

 

Merry July and happy summer!
