A bit of reorganizing....

I have decided to do a bit of reorganizing and combine my two blogs.  I have been posting about the items I have been creating for the etsy shop on my other blog.  If you follow me here, but don't follow there, please consider following me there, since I will no longer be posting here.  Also that blog will be renamed from In The Shade Of the Old Oak Tree to Under The Old Oak Tree to streamline things a bit.

Richmond Waldorf School Fest of Fall

Fest of Fall at the Richmond Waldorf School

The Richmond Waldorf School will be holding their Chalk Walk and Fest of Fall this Saturday, October 16th.  The Chalk Walk starts at 8:30 followed by the Fest of Fall from 10:00 to 3:00.  Under The Old Oak Tree will be sharing a table with a friend this year.  Please come see us! The address is 1000 Westover Hills Boulevard, Richmond, VA 23225.  Hope to see you there!


Here's a sneak peak at some of the items that will be for sale!  Any left overs will be put up on The Under The Old Oak Tree Etsy site the following day.

The latest creation

My latest creation was this gardening doll.  It was commissioned by my cousin to give to my aunt for her birthday and I just finished it very late last night and sent it out to my cousin this morning.  Making these dolls is a labor of love (especially when they are for people I love).  This was my first time making a "straw" hat on a doll and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

Richmond Waldorf School Holiday Bazaar

Under the Old Oak Tree will be sharing a table with another mom from my natural and attatchment parenting group at the Richmond Waldorf School Holiday Bazaar on November 21, 2009 from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM.

Come see us and buys some Christmas presents. I hear this bazaar is amazing and magical!

Westhampton United Methodist Church Arts and Crafts Sale

This evening I did the majority of my setting up for this sale tomorrow. After setting up I of course came home and made a few more items! I am sharing a table with my friend Jane who has beautiful cards, tags, jewlery, journals and artwork for sale. I am happy with my little corner of the table. It's my first sale and I have worked really hard to get ready for it and to build up some stock. Whatever is not sold will go up on the etsy shop tomorrow after the sale. I have taken the shop off of vacation mode as of this evening.

Thanks to Jane for letting me share the table with her.

The sale is at Westhampton United Methodist Church 6100 Patterson Ave. Richmond, VA from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.

DS and I are planning to be there all day. Come and say hi...and maybe give one of my creations a good home!

Shop on vacation this week.

In an attempt to preserve my sanity, I am putting the shop on vacation till next week as I prepare for the Arts and Crafts sale and try to get some stock built up. Anything left from the sale will be put on the Etsy shop afterwards.
