The Christmas Tree is Up (not ours!)
Way to early for us to put up a Christmas tree but Ian and I went into the town centre yesterday for a much needed coffee together and I was surprised to see the tree is up already!

Fun Flower Rings
I've just added a few new flower rings to my shop. I was at a craft sale on Saturday, and these cute little rings were my biggest seller. Teenage girls especially loved them. I can see why - they add a lovely punch of color and very affordable.

First Signs of Frost
It was an early start today as our youngest son had hockey practice at 7am. As he and Ian were leaving I noticed on our front door step all the frost that had accumulated on the pot plants and couldn't resist snapping a few shots. Here's a couple. Happy Sunday!

First craft sale of the holiday season this coming Saturday
Tomorrow is my first craft sale of the holiday season. It's called Craftstock and is at White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville so if you happen to live in the area, come by and say hello. I'll be at table #8.
I've been reworking my table display over the last couple of weeks.
I found some lovely French cream and floral fabric on sale that I used to make a new table covering. I also scoured the thrift shops in the area for picture frames which I repainted and used for displaying necklaces. I managed to pick up a few trays which I also painted and I'm using them to display necklaces and earrings.
But my big find was a gold metal fruit tray that I bought for 99c. My very patient husband attached it to a stand and made it so that it would rotate. It's turned in a wonderful necklace carousel plus I've filled it with little packages of bobby pins.
I have nearly everything ready to go for tomorrow. I sprained my ankle last weekend so thank goodness I have a helper for the day.
Wish me luck!
