Chatty Crafty Weekend

So it's taken me a week and a half now to get this up! My goodness...blogging is still not my strong point.  

Anyhow, April 21-22 was the Chatty Crafty Festival.  My good friend Claudia (from Claudia Kay Photo - amazing photographer - she takes all model shots!) and I took a little road trip to Chattanooga for the weekend. We had a great time, and boy was I thankful to have her with me!  From getting the tent up and breaking it down, to helping me make last minute paper flowers (as I accidentally left my original ones at home), to holding down the tent and jewelry from the crazy blowing wind! To simply keeping me company and having some great laughs!  Thank you Claudia for going with me!

This river we could view from our tent. Granted these pictures were taken much closer than from our booth, but it was nice having a water front view!

Here is our table - full of wrap bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces. 
I was pretty impressed with our last minute tissue paper flowers!


I must say the weather was pretty crazy - chances of rain all day on Saturday with what only ended up to be a short light shower (thank goodness). Then Sunday morning the temperature dropped, making it FREEZING - Claudia and I changed into the warmest things we brought in our suitcases which really wasn't much. Throughout the day we would have these crazy winds cutting through us and making it hard to even enjoy interacting with customers because we were so worried everything would blow away if we weren't watching it close. 



Overall we had a great time. Chattanooga is such a cute and friendly town.  I want to go back soon and check out Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain, and the Aquarium.
