bazaar times

I've been looking at different ways to get C involved in the coming holiday, he seems ready and willing to skip over Thanksgiving and head straight to "Santa's eve" as he calls it.  I saw these awesome little candle centerpiece ideas on a friend K's blog and just needed to share them!

Another holiday that has come and gone this year with slight bit of regret on my part is Veterans Day. M and I took C to the Veterans day parade that makes it's way through the hollywood district starting at Grant HS. Now, I know several Veterans, and people who are actively serving in the military, C's godfather B for example. Therefore I feel like I could do more to honor the men and women who have served our country throughout the years. I think in years to come I would like to get C involved in some kind of service project to help veterans, homeless veterans perhaps.  But for now here are some pictures from our fun at the parade.

Sunday this past week Mom and I participated in a bazaar of sorts at Fabric Depot.  It was an employee crafts bazaar and the intent was it would only be open for employees to shop with the hopes that it's the foundation for a yearly craft fair there.  I was selling earrings and mom made various rings.  we didn't sell much but that wasn't the point, it was to be the first so that it can evlolve into something bigger and better in years to come.

I think I am going to look into an online outlet to sell my earrings, etsy or something similar, I hear from my friend S that etsy isn't as great as it used to be, so perhaps zibbet where she sells.
