Ferndale DIY Street Fair a Success

The DIY Fair is over...what, oh what will the Rutherfords do now? Lots of things! We're getting our stuff listed at libbie.etsy.com, updating the website, completing custom orders from the show and gearing up for a vacation at October's end. What an awesome experience the DIY Fair was. In 2004, we participated in an art show over Labor Day in Franklin. Not knowing how to market ourselves, our tent seemed boring and empty (in fact, I'm sure it was), and passersby were less than inspired. This time around we worked tirelessly for a complete 180 and were happy about the results. We sold a good deal of our items, doled out about 200 business cards, and generated some positive Form Vibrations awareness. DIY 2010, here we come!

A many thanks are in order for our awesome friends and family who came out to support us during those two longs days. It was a nice reprieve to see a familiar smiling face (or waggly tale, in the case of Dewey and Porter). You guys seriously rock!

Good Stuff

It's mid-September! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So many good things have happened since my last post. Our neighbors, Mark and Julie tied the not (allowing Chris and me and excuse to get RIDICULOUS of the dance floor), our Allentown, PA friends, Chrirs and Anna-Lena came for a Labor Day visit, and now the DIY Street Fair in just five days! We're super pumped, excited, and on a roll!

We are impressively close to being finished. All of our finished "for sale" merch is tagged and ready to go and we only have a few minute products to finish before the big day. Chris has built our hanging mechanisms, my magnetic chalkboards and wine signs are ready, and our first wine barrel wine rack is about to be unveiled. We'll see if those make it to the fair (they're pretty cool).

Come visit us this Saturday, September 19 from 11-9 or on Sunday, September 20 from 11-6. We'll be hanging out in booth 64. Either check out this map, or count seven down from the beer tent. We know where you'll be.
