The last two years my family and I have provided free wagon rides for the little ones along the R.O.P.E. Walk. (Where my husband and I are standing in the photo above.) This year, I am trying something different. I'll by selling my handmade crafts to kids only at kids' prices at my 3-2-1 Fun! Table. That's right, all items will be three dollars and under. We always have vendors with beautifully made items at the fair, but their prices are out of the reach of most of our young people. I thought it might be fun to aim my wares at this particularly underserved market. We'll see how that goes...

Speaking of beautifully made items, make sure you stop by to see Alice who will be there selling handmade items from her gorgeousgoddesshair collection. Take a look at her Etsy shop, too, for an idea of what she has and her price range. (Shameless Mom plug.)

I hope I'll see you Saturday. Stop by and say hi, and buy a ticket for my amazing Craft Stash Raffle--more on that tomorrow!
