Thank goodness that the weather is finally co-operating with us , after all the rain , the market is going great. I have a bunch of orders for new rugs, the only thing is that I've been waiting for an order of warp that I really need to complete about 5 rugs for one customer.
Last week was the REC annual meeting and craft show. It went very well, the weather was great and everyone had an good time. The food that they provided was very good, we are grateful for that, since we all get into our booths by 7:30 am and are not done until around 3pm.
Burgundy seems to be the IN color these days will fall approaching. People are buying burgundy left and right and all that I have left is a small rug for in front of your recliner or for a small kitchen to possibly put in front of your sink.
Another popular item is my pocket purses/pouches. I have been selling out of my pocket purses/pouches weekly and make about 20 for each market. Tuesdays are usually a slow day but when Saturday comes around the display disappears in a hurry. That's a good thing! I will be busy cutting pockets off of the jeans for some time to build up my inventory.
Our dairy farmer neighbor at the market has graciously donated a bunch of his denim jeans to me for use. The denim will be recycled in a hurry since I need pockets and also need to replenish my stock of denim rugs. I am excited to get them cut and sewn so that I can begin weaving denim rugs. The newest addition to my inventory are woven bags. The denim purse/bag is lined and has a shoulder handle, and velcro closure. Its nice to see that they are a popular item for those who make big vegetable purchases at the farmers markets. They are very versatile and can be used for many purposes!
Thats the latest here- hope to see you this Saturday at the market.
A weavin' we go!
