The first part of this statement has already been revealed.That would be the December Trunk Show that i'm doing at the Columbus Museum Of Art.It's going to be AWESOME.

Next on my list of announcements is my NEW creations(pictured).
You get a sneak peek at my NEW Matryoshka Doll design.
The face is painted onto the fabric.Then I cut out the fabric for the body and attached with some fun stiches.
I think shes ADORABLE :o)

I also created a NEW line of Zippy Cosmetic bags.
There bigger than my other style of zippies, so you can put more stuff in them.
I made a mini sized Geisha Girl (pictured) and a Martyoshka Doll (pictured) to put on the front of them.
This would be a great bag to carry your essentials in as well, when you want to leave your purse at home.

I was to busy talking to customers and talking to my neighbors.

This is definetly my favorite picture I took.
My Baby B with her mommy in her cool shirt I got for her at What The Rock ?!

Mary Moon Designs sets up shop at first ever Oddmall

This last weekend I set up shop in Hudson,Ohio for the first ever Oddmall Emporium of the Weird.
Me and Mr.Moon drove up Friday night and set up the booth when we got there.We went out for dinner afterwards,it was late when we got back so we headed off to bed.It was nice to wake up knowing all I had to do was put out a few things and touch up my display.
It did take some thought as to how to set up my booth though.We were given a 8 foot by 6 foot space.Most of the shows we do have the standard 10' by 10' space but there usually outdoor events.I went with the "lemonade stand" style set up and worked from behind the table.
The customers were great,I really enjoyed talking to them and showing them my creations.It's so nice to get out of your local scene and meet new people and introduce them to Mary Moon Designs.We had really good neighbors as well,Deb(Artistic Flair) and her sister-in-law kept us entertained.

Special thanks to Jill(Pink Sky) for taking a photo of my booth.Mr.Moon had his camera but never took it out of his pocket.At least I have one photo from the event.
The vendors of the Oddmall were mostly from northern Ohio.I met a bunch of new talented and creative artists.I was able to find some great fun gifts for my kiddies as well.
Overall I say the show was a success.Being it was the "first ever" Oddmall,it brought in a good crowd that were making purchases.I sold pretty well and met new people and artists.I had a few local friends to chat with (SDS) and had some quality time with Mr.Moon.

Next week I will be setting up shop in Whetstone for the first ever Eco Chic Craftacular hosted by Etsy Team Columbus.You need to come out and check this show out,it is going to be something special,I can't wait.

Another Trip To The Post Office

One of my two favorite things, sending mail ( the other is receiving mail) I love to send mail out to customers,I also have several pen pals.
I LOVE my mailman ( No Joke) ask my hubby! In fact,true story, today I received 3small packages in my mailbox.I had checked the mail before the hubby and I went out to lunch.When we pulled back in the driveway here comes my mailman again,he had forgotten a package.I joked with him that 3 packages weren't enough and that he had to bring me one more! So 4 packages in one day,WHOO HOO!!!! ( Now I probably won't get anything like forever!)

O H I O

This is a cool close up pic of my Ohio tags.My husband cuts them out of wood and sands the edges.I decorate them and put them on select bags.
