Big Shanty Festival – Kennesaw

Posted on April 22, 2012 by sean.harp

This was our very first craft fair!  It started off a little rough because we were late arriving to the festival grounds.  We couldn’t park anywhere near where we had to set up our tent and we had to carry everything quite a distance.  But, we got it all setup and stopped sweating by the time the people started to browse.

 

All in all, we did pretty well for our first time out.  We actually did a little better than some vendors that make their living by going to craft fairs, so that’s not all bad.  I couldn’t get anyone to buy any of the doll beds though!!

Craft Hope – Project 16 – The Little Warriors

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Stephenie Harp

Our good friend Darcy Childress put us in touch with an amazing charity, Craft Hope. PeetiePie was able to knit 25 beanies for children with cancer. It was really hard to not to cry each time I visited the site to check on the progress of this Craft Hope initiative – always so sad to read the stories of the little ones that lost their battle at such an early age. At the same time it was very inspirational to read the stories about the little ones that are beating the odds. We were very pleased to be able to donate our time, energy and products to such a wonderful organization – our hearts and thoughts go out to the families that this organization helps.

To learn more about Craft Hope and how you can volunteer and make a difference for these sweet little ones please visit http://www.crafthope.com/ or you can also find out more about them on facebook as well.
