The Little Nuthatch — craft shows

Yesterday was The Big Crafty in downtown Asheville, NC. I had a table selling my art and I had so much fun meeting people! Being a birder and selling bird art is really fun, people will talk birding with me and I got a few tips for the area. The Big Crafty was a huge event with 150 booths!  As you can imagine there was a lot of talent and some great arts and crafts. I was pretty busy with my own table, during the last half hour it was slowing down so I darted around and took a few...

It was a great day to be out and I think everybody was feeling it.  I had an awesome time hanging out there! I snapped a few photos on the instagram.

Attendance was pretty slow, which was too bad because there was some amazing talent there! I was very impressed with the selection. It was a beautiful day with some great music playing, and a good time. Now I am ready for some more shows. Here is the table I shared with my friend Nancy (Seam So Scene). She sews cute things out of vintage fabric, which made the table look so adorable. I was...
