This spring, I had the immense pleasure of being a vendor at two markets around Alberta! I don’t get to do too many markets & craft shows these days, so doing TWO (on back-to-back weekends) was a pretty big deal for me! There were lots of reasons to be excited, including having actual booths at both markets instead of a single table, and focusing primarily on selling my Love Catcher & Dreamcatcher designs. Today I’m sharing how I tackled my display at the shows.

Around Town: All Things Pretty Market
Wasn’t I just at a market?! YES!! I am doing back to back weekends of vintage markets this spring. Coming up THIS weekend I will be at the All Things Pretty Market in Red Deer, AB. There is a shopping night event on April 30th, which you might still be able to purchase a couple tickets for. The market will open to the public on Sunday, May 1st.
Around Town: Vixens of Vintage Calgary

One Bad Day
When Balancing Mamahood With Business,
Makes You Want to Quit
I woke up this morning with 21 tasks on my to-do list. Some of them were tasks for my handmade business {it was going to be a work day}, some of them were tasks for “home”. Some were things I’d marked in red as “must do” and others were just chores that would be great to get done {especially since we’d been sick the week prior}, but if I had to shift them to another day, then I would.
By the end of the day, I had completed a grand total of three tasks. THREE.
In the Shop: Unicorn Dreams
Please welcome my newest friend, the Unicorn Dreamcatcher! She’s almost too cute, isn’t she?! I fell in love with this dreamy fabric on Spoonflower and just knew it would make the best Dreamcatchers for a little girl’s room. And I adore all the pastel colours in the design!
In the Shop: Dino Dreams
They’re HERE! I welcomed these Dino Dreamcatchers to the shop last week! Pretty excited to have T-Rex and his friends join the new line of Dreamcatchers, perfect for kid’s room decor. Kind of easy to tell who my inspiration for these were. Our Sammy is still a huge dino fan and an eager little paleontologist. He already has his very own Dino Dreamcatcher hanging above his bed.
Around Town: Vixens of Vintage
Yes, truly ecstatic to be included in this upcoming market! FINALLY! It’s been on the list of shows I’ve wanted to attend for quite a while, but could just never squeeze into the schedule. Well, to heck with that this year. I’m diving in and so very pleased that Vixens of Vintage has welcomed me!
In the Shop: Terrarium Love
Another new line of Dreamcatchers is now available in the shop! There are three Terrarium Dreamcatcher designs to choose from. These will look wonderful, not just hanging in your baby’s room, but in your kids room {hey, a plant they can’t knock over} or in a front entryway {no special sunlight required}. Check out the other designs and colour combos:
Most Popular in 2015
Got this idea from a fellow Etsy Alberta teammate and thought it would be fun to look back on the most popular Bubblegum Sass items sold in 2015. Of course, my most popular item by far, were the Love Catchers. So I put together the top three selling colour combos, along with the most popular Love Catcher designs. Here are the results:
In the Shop: Mermaid Dreams
I’m so tickled to have some brand new Dreamcatcher designs in the shop! Feels like the perfect way to start the New Year!
