Midsummer Night's Dream

      Well, our second vendor event looms over us; it starts at noon tomorrow.  The theme is "Midsummer Night's Dream" with an emphasis on woodland creatures, renaissance costuming, fairies, magical (?) critters, and other things found in Shakespeare's time, and specifically, his play of the same name.  

     Our first event on the 4th of July resulted in sales even better than our highest expectations!  We were so happy, and immediately came home and made a few additional wizard gnomes and critters better suited to this theme.  I want to share a few of those with you in this post.

     First, the wizard brothers who are also known for their haberdashery, including the weaving of marvelous and magical coat trims.  

 

     Then there's the sleeping gnome cat, napping until the fairies arrive.  Her fur is so incredibly soft and a smaller version of her inspired a bidding war at the earlier event so I had to make another one!

     Finally, there's the head wizard who's been traveling, having left home headed for the Midsummer Night Faire.  He travels with his apothecary of magical potions and is in charge of all things mystical at the Faire.


     

     That's it for this post.  Have a wonderful midsummer day and Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
