fall fun...

autumn is full of fun!

~~~

one of my favorite

fun things to do

is to shop craft fairs!

~~~

this autumn,

i will not only shop craft fairs,

i am getting ready

to take my crafts

to be

in a craft fair!

~~~

this craft fair is known

for it's handmade

and homemade items

and is always held

the opening day

of pheasant season

(the third saturday

in october~

october 16 this year).

~~~

i have taken my crafts

to craft fairs before.

it's lots of work

and lots of fun!

i'm especially excited to be

in this particular craft fair.

what makes it

even more fun

is that

i will be

in the booth

next to

my friend debbie

from tyme flies,

who is also bringing

her handmade goodies

to this craft fair!

~~~

i sewed

this cozy wool autumn handbag

for the craft fair.

~~~

this handbag is made from

a repurposed wool skirt

and a felted wool scarf.

~~~

the bag itself and the handle

are made from the skirt

and the leaves

are made from the scarf.

~~~

the fringe was on the skirt

which adds more fun.

~~~

the leaves were cut out

and sewed on

before i put the bag together.

~~~

the button is purely decorative.

the handbag holds

all your goodies securely

with a magnetic closure.
~~~

i love this bag!

~~~

i love it's

autumn colors

and autumn leaves

and it's wool coziness.

~~~

what do you think?

will it sell?

~~~

only 39 days

until the craft fair!

~~~

i better get

busy, busy, busy....

wishing you fall fun...
