It's that time of year again! Craft shows and farmer's markets are gearing up for the summer. Memorial Day weekend has come and gone and it's long over due for me to start planting in the garden. Life has thrown our family some curve balls lately, so there's no better time for me to go out and dig in the yard and relieve some stress! Of course, in typical Northern Nevada style, it's been cool and raining all last week (never mind the extremely dry and warm winter that we've had). I was loving all the rain! Of course, now we are back to being really hot. As the saying goes, "If you don't like the weather in Nevada, just wait 5 minutes."

I'm also stocking up for my first shows of the year! I decided not to do as many summer shows this year. Mostly because of the heat and my skin care items not holding up as well as I'd like in the heat and to also spend a bit more time with the family. I have so many new items to share with you all! Many new upcycled items including a new crochet tote bag made from plastic shopping bags, a few different styles of market bags made from old t-shirts, and some really cute garden aprons made from old jeans. I'll also be introducing a few new skin care items including tinted lip balms and lotions with sunscreen in them (all natural/organic ingredients, of course). And of course I'll have all my old favorites with me!
My first show coming up is the Creekside Mercantile Artisan Craft Show on Saturday, June 6th from 10am-5pm. I'll be there with many other local artists, businesses, and food vendors. The Children's Cabinet will also be there and will be accepting donations of new clothing items for infants through teens, non-perishable foods, new baby items, new stuffed animals, etc. Cash donations will also be accepted. Please stop by the event page to more about the event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1432221547072283/

The second show I'll be participating in is the Summer Fun at Arlington Gardens on Saturday, June 13th from 10am-4pm. I'll be there selling all my handcrafted goodies as well as selling Wildtree products with my team member, Nykki. There will be many great direct sales ladies there, local businesses inside the mall, local artists, and food trucks. We will also have some bins set up to accept pet food donations for the Nevada Humane Society. You can see all the event details on the Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/SummerFunatArlingtonGardens.
I hope to see all you locals at the events! As always, if you need something custom, I'm happy to make that something special for you!
