SIFF & SAFF

Where did the time go!  I have been wanting for so long to get a few posts up about the Southern Indiana Fiberarts Festival and my trip to SAFF!  I figure I can use today as a little catch up time for the poor wittle neglected blog.

I was a vendor at SIFF this year.  The festival takes place around the same time as Rhinebeck, so many of you may not have heard of it before.  It is a small festival and each year, it gets a little better.

One of the big plusses for this festival .. it is almost ENTIRELY in doors!   You can't beat a festival where your booth is out of the rain;)  Also, I simply love the comradery of my fellow vendors at this show.

I am definitely looking forward to next year!  And I must apologize for not getting all the vendor booth photos.  These are the ones who were set up  when I was finished setting up  on Thursday.  Trust me there were many vendors I missed getting photos of.

Next up...... my SAFF trip;)

My booth ;)

One of my customers showing off the shawl she made from the BFL Sock in Apple Pie with Cinnabar edge.

I bought the gray one for my Nephew in Japan.  These lovely bears are made of Soft Hypo-Allergenic Alpaca.

Look at the size of her......  Bunny!

The bunnies were hiding under the tables;)

Mmmm..  I was in smelly heaven here!

One of her yarns graces the cover of a Cat Bordhi book!

Soap Balls- These were perfect for washing your hands.  Next year, I will have to remember to get a few!
