i love...: i heart...crafts

A few years ago, my girl-friends and i would get together regularly for our craft circle or sunday funday crafting. sometimes we would make ornaments, holiday cards, we'd sew, make jewelry, you name it, we probably did it and it usually involved yummy snacks and cocktails...oh yeah we also had clothing swaps. more on that at another time.

during those times we also attended every craft fair and flea market, Renegade, Bazaar Bazaar, Alameda Faire, etc...that we could get to. they were inspiring, gave us ideas, made us dream and hope and kept us sane during our every day lives.

fast forward to now, Dallas, 2015. i am happily surprised that since i have been back, i have been to two craft shows. the first being the etsy holiday show, and last weekend The Dallas Flea.
