Sturgis Falls Arts and Craft Fair 2012

Perfect = Boring, by Laura

 Last weekend was the Sturgis Falls Arts And Craft Fair in Cedar Falls.  It was NOT the perfect weather-- it was HOT!  But the day was anything but boring! We had a great spot on the end where we could spread out a bit, there was a bit of shade from a tree and we occasionally got a glimpse of a cross-breeze that people further down didn't get. We enjoyed strawberry smoothies in the hottest part of the day and amused ourselves with ice cubes, cold water bottles from the cooler and a spray bottle fan from Disney World.

Many of our favorite special customers made appearances!  We are considering a frequent flyer club or a punch card or SOME kind of special perks for those repeat customers who are brave enough to come back again and again.  ;-)  At the least, we probably should have misted them with our fan! Did I mention it was HOT-a-la-leela!   


Here are some highlights of our booth:

Mamma Winger (Connie) created several skinny abc's that all sold right away! Plus she had some new dolls for sale.
Ya gotta love those mustachioed fellas!

That's me (Jill) in the mirror - my apologies to the unsuspecting lady in orange whose bust I unwittingly captured.

well hello to you too!  (Laura's bird) (Sold)

A crowd favorite that everyone who came into our booth had to read out loud: "No whining (ever.) -sincerely your parents."

"Always take your rainbows with you."  Ask Connie if you'd like to know exactly how one would go about doing this. :-)

Yes, I believe that bird is wearing a purple bustier.
