Update | Preparing for a Local Craft Fair

Since getting accepted for a local craft fair, I've been preparing new junk journals (and a few hot air balloons). This year I'm just focusing on the repurposed items because they fit the theme of the fair so well. I'll just have hot air balloons and journals for sale.

I also recently ordered washi tape and stickers from Washi Wednesday. They have adorable products and wonderful customer service--I totally recommend them. I had to move all of my tapes into a larger container since they didn't fit in the tin I originally had. They now rest on the corner of my desk for easy access. And now I have a ton of patterns to choose from and I'm prepared for nearly any occasion.

Here's a few new product shots. So far I've created nine new journals and have at least six more themes planned and ready to cut. I haven't had a huge influx of burnt out bulbs, so I've only made two new hot air balloons for the sale, but there are plenty available.

One of the most exciting recent changes was this metal jewelry tree to display the small hot air balloons at the craft sale. The large balloons will be hung on a mini Christmas tree.

The junk journals will be displayed in a wooden crate and between bookends. I'm planning a step-by-step junk journal tutorial for next month, so keep an eye out for that. Back to printing price tags, cutting paper, and bookkeeping!
