It’ll Just Be A Room Full Of Nerdy Women…
Published on Sunday, March 17, 2013 by

“Mom, do I look cute?” my daughter asked as she studied herself in the full-length mirror.  “Yes, you do look cute.  But honey, it really won’t matter how you look.  We will be in a building full of nothing but nerdy women.”

(Turns out… I was wrong!)

Soon after, we were on the road with grandma and a friend for the 27th Annual Virginia Beach Spring Craft Market.

sea glass necklaces

The young woman who made this was extremely talented and shared tips on drilling sea glass. I was happy to find sea glass drilling is slow for EVERYONE, not just me.

You have to admit… it would work!

I fell in LOVE with this necklace.  I didn’t have any money with me, but want it like a little girl jumping up and down crying kind of  want it.  You can see this woman’s incredible work HERE.  I hope that whomever gets this piece will love it just as much as I did!

If you know Totoro, you know this little guy!

I had to walk closer to read the sign… see below.

After all, we WERE at a craft show!

My daughter’s first purchase was for the dogs.  I love that girl.  Here is what she came home with:

craft store purchases

Homemade dog treats, natural pina colada lip balm and polymer clay earrings.

As we walked towards the car after our adventure, I asked my daughter and her friend what they liked the most.  Her friend blurted out, “THE SOUP!”

Ummm… weren’t we at a CRAFT SHOW?

My daughter explained.  “Yea Mom.  These people were selling soup packets they made and had free samples.  She was hungry and went to every-single-one!  They were SO GOOD!”

Some people go to Craft Shows for sea-glass jewelry ideas.  Others go to look at handmade clothing and art.  And then there are those who go for…. The Soup.

    Bwhahahahahahahaha! Katherine, I LOVE the Redneck Fire Alarm! OMG…that is beyond brilliant!

    Ooooo….and I am so impressed with the handmade jewelry piece you shared here. I quickly took a peek at the Gilded Lily Glass website and you’re right…she is VERY talented. I need to check out her Esty Store as well.

    LOVE the Husband’s Waiting Area – HA!

    Boy, your daughter came home with some great stuff! The hamburger doggy treats are adorable!

    Glad you had great weekend, my friend!

      You know what Ron, some of those doggie treats actually looked TASTY. We were holding them up to our noses smelling, going… hmmmm……

    That looks like a fun outing. The dog made out well it appears. (sweet girl to buy treats for her pet)

    I totally agree with your daughters friend…I love craft shows that have the soups you sample.

      With this being my first craft show, I had NO idea they had food samples. I think the girls tasted every single one!

  • Heather

    Love all the pictures!

  • Barb

    My favorite craft show I ever went to was giving out samples of wine made into a slushie!!!! ;)

    • http://www.shoot-me-now.com Katherine Murray

      I WANT TO GO TO THAT ONE!!

  • Mel

    Ohhhhhhh noooooooooo…..you’re not the only one who thinks it takes forEVER to drill through sea glass!! Just sayin’…..
    And I adore the work that gal who made the necklace does–yes, went snooping…….amazing stuff!
    *laughing* I like the men’s waiting area–but mostly, I loved that you had to admit you were WRONG. ;-)
    What great kiddos…..LOLOL

      Mel… after Easter I plan to post some pix of seaglass jewelry I’ve been making. I haven’t purchased silver chain yet… I’ll have to save up. But even with the cheap stuff I’m happy with what I’ve done. And I don’t have a crafty bone in my body! Her stuff is so beautiful… and she was so sweet!

      • http://decksidethoughts.blogspot.com Cheryl

        I wondered why you hadn’t started marketing your stuff. If all you need is silver chain, send me an email with the gauge & number of yards you want and I’ll get that shit in the mail STAT! I have a friend who’s a jewelry maker & I’m sure she can direct me to the best place to grab that stuff.

    I totally want that kitty necklace, too. I love craft shows. Used to go to so many of them when I lived in L.A. The Harvest Festival took over the entire convention center.

      I cannot IMAGINE what you saw at craft shows in LA! Things must have been spectacular!!!

    We have some marvelous craft fairs here in Upstate New York, but I rarely get to them. How fun to have your daughter to go with!

    • http://www.shoot-me-now.com Katherine Murray

      I had never actually been to a craft fair. We have little craft shows here and there at churches and schools.. but hadn’t been to anything big like that. Some of the artists simply blew me away!
