Bridgepark this Saturday...

After quite the weekend at Joint Base Lewis-McChord we are ready to do it again. It was fun and a learning experience last weekend. We met some great people, made good sales and learned more from other vendors. They are just the best teachers, some with years more experience than we have and others with great ideas to share. It's sometimes as important to make these connections with other vendors as it can be to make a great sale. Each one teaches us something!

Connie and I worked hard to bring some of the best we have to these craft shows. One day I hope I can sew nearly as well as she does. Probably not going to happen but one can try! She is incredibly talented. The handbags were a hit at the show, as well as the new shaped Ta-Toe Baker. We also sold a good number of our new IdentiFly Bands. If you are a traveler at all you should get one or six of these for you and yours. A great stocking stuffer!

This weekend we are at Bridgepark in West Seattle for their 2nd Annual Holiday Craft Show. Shop LOCAL, shop UNIQUE, shop HANDMADE crafts from a variety of local artists! Enjoy the comfort of their home with hot apple cider, pumpkin bread and other scrumptious homemade treats while you do some stress-free holiday shopping!

There will be hourly door prizes and lots of free parking at 3204 SW Morgan Street. Turn East on Morgan St and travel one block to Bridgepark Retirement Community.

If you stop in at our booth and spend $50 you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate for dinner at a restaurant in the area. We will give one away each hour of the show. Just think of that, one chance every hour to some lucky person who shops our booth! Don’t miss out, you could enjoy a great night out on us, or have another holiday gift out of the way that was free!

See you there...
Diane & Connie

Holiday Bazaar This Weekend @ Ft Lewis

It’s almost here! The biggest weekend of the year I think, for holiday bazaars anyway. They really get into full swing and we will be part of it all. The 30th Annual Holiday Bazaar, held by the Lewis Community Spouses Club happens this weekend on Joint Base Lewis/McChord. The Bazaar will be held on Saturday, November 6th, 10am to 6pm and Sunday, November 7th 12 noon to 5pm at the American Lake Club on North Fort, Building 8085 NCO Beach Rd.

We’ve made lots of new items. There are loads of new purses, both handbags and clutches. There is a new Ta-toe Baker® bag in a new shape with lots of new materials. We’ve sold out of these every year and hope that everyone will like the new ones as well. We have great new stocking stuffer gifts that you won’t want to leave without and of course the flavored nuts are back, better than ever! Bet you can’t eat just one!





If you stop in at our booth and spend $50 you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate for dinner at a restaurant in the area. We will give one away each hour of the show. Just think of that, one chance every hour to some lucky person who shops our booth! Don’t miss out, you could enjoy a great night out on us, or have another holiday gift out of the way that was free!

Don’t forget to buy raffle tickets. Like always we will be contributing to the raffle. Raffle prizes include a spectacular quilt. The quilt will be displayed at various locations throughout the JBLM Community, at which time raffle tickets can be purchased for $2 each. There will also be a silent auction featuring various local and not so local items for you to bid on. Door prizes will be given away throughout the event.

Come out and support the JBLM community spouses’ club’s biggest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds go back to JBLM and surrounding area organizations. The bazaar will take place at the American Lake Community Center on JBLM Lewis North.

The show is open to the public and it’s not all that difficult to get on base Just go to the Main Gate at JBLM, show them your ID, Registration and Proof of Insurance and they will give you a pass. It’s as simple as that. Here are driving directions to get you to the North Fort and the American Lake Club. We are looking forward to seeing you there! Happy shopping…
