Busy weekend ahead!

I have been looking forward to this upcoming weekend since...well, last year! It is time for Manoa Elementary's Craft Fair--one of my favorites from last year's holiday season.

Details:

Date: October 19, 2013

Location: Manoa Elementary

            3155 Manoa Road

Time: 8:30 - 2:00

Also, to add a very, very sweet cherry to this weekend, Leaflet has been blessed with an opportunity to sell some of our items at Diamond One in Pearlridge Shopping Center!!! Pearlridge is having a mall-wide sidewalk sale from Friday to Sunday (October 18-20). Diamond One will be selling our owl necklace/earring sets, our "dork" glasses necklaces, and our rose side-swept necklaces. 

Yay for a very fun-filled Leaflet weekend! Hope to see you at the Manoa Elementary Craft Fair, and hope you get a chance to stop by Pearlridge to support one of Oahu's local businesses. :)

A Review: Holiday Craft Fair at the Betsuin

I feel like I'm lucking out with the craft fairs I'm choosing to do this year--every fair so far this holiday season has been a great experience because of the people and family-friendly environment. Leaflet feels right at home! 

This past weekend, the Hongwanji actually cancelled their church services that Sunday in order to accommodate all the vendors and to make sure we had a great selling experience. They had several fundraisers to support the different programs they offer, and there was a plethora of volunteers who stuck around all day and ready to help at a moment's notice.

SO. I have some good and bad news... good news is that our DIY kits are starting to pick up sales. Bad news: we are currently out of "You're a Fruitcake!" DIY bracelet kits. Good news again: we will have more in stock in November! Right now at the craft fairs we have the Button Bling, I 'Heart' You gift tags, Flower Me Up Studs, and Christmas Ornament kits. $3 - $4 ea. More details on those later. :)

A Review: Trinity Lutheran Fall Festival

My, my this craft fair was a lot of fun! From where I was sitting, I had a clear view of the "Splat!" booth which gave the students an opportunity to soak their principal and several of their teachers if they hit the balloon target. All the faculty and staff were such great sports that it was very entertaining to watch! The booth fee was such a reasonable price for the crowd the school drew in, and I was thankful that even though it was pouring at times, we were tucked way, way under the lanai coverings.

Definitely looking forward to doing this fair next year! :)
