{baby fever}

No, I don't have it.

Just to set the record straight from the start.

But on Tuesday I was surrounded by more babies and pregnant woman than I have ever been in my life. Our local hospital held its first ever baby fair and I was lucky enough to have a booth space to sell my knitted hats, hair clips, button blooms and {new!} headbands. Here are a few {grainy} shots of my booth. I had SO much fun decorating it!

I made the fun banner with scrapbook paper, hand-cut letters and yarn. Super simple. And I got A LOT of questions about my shop name. {giggle}Its simple people. I love squirrels! :)

My trusty aqua suitcases added a pop of color and height to my display. The digital picture frame was a great way to showcase my hats in action. And of course my spray-painted squirrel book-end was the perfect finishing touch {and a great prop for the frame!} See the headbands?! The ones that didn't go home with moms-to-be will be in the shop soon!

I loved this little vignette in the center of the table with the metal basket and frame to showcase one of my favorite fluffy pom pom caps. I used little wooden clothes pins to hang some hair pins on the basket. Some of my milk glass vases stood in as perfect little hat models.

And of course I couldn't forget all of the moms, so I did a special display for my button blooms. I had picked this chalkboard frame up recently at Big Lots and it was the perfect way to showcase them. I also tacked a few of them to the table cloth {my Dad's chenille crib blanket :) } with more of the mini clothes pins.

 I haven't done very many craft fairs, but this one was by far the best in terms of profit and exposure. I handed out tons of business cards {ran out after the first two hours!} and received so many sweet comments about my items. It was a lovely day and I think the ego boost will last me for months. :)

P.S. My shop will be in vacation mode for a little bit while I recover from the fair, plan and celebrate my boys' 3rd birthday {!!!} which is coming up VERY soon, and catch up on my Brave Girl's Club Soul Restoration Workshop. So stay tuned for new items!
