It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hey all! Whew! What a week. Jen is just wrapping up at Oh Sweet Sadie! tomorrow night and I was out last weekend at Greensboro's First Friday Indie Mart and Shop Local (also in Greensboro).

Can you believe the holiday season is just around the corner??? It didn't just sneak up on us this year. It pulled some serious Crouching Tiger moves and pounced! That said, have you started your December shopping? We're hunkering down in our studios and loading up on goodies in the SHOP. If you haven't been in a while, come on over and check us out. We've added some new items like Jen's ADORABLE paper mobiles and needle felted mobiles that we're really excited about and have updated some oldies but goodies such as our hoop-dee-doo clocks. And if you're the type, like me, that lusts after online goodies but puts off the buy until shipping costs total more than the purchase, watch for us at Greensboro's December First Friday Indie Mart, Holiday Mart at the Greek Orthodox Church on Friendly, Durham's Rock and Shop, or The Beehive Bazaar in Provo. Check out dates and times below:

Have you heard?

In case you didn't know, SquackDoodle is a collaboration between myself, Heather, and my sassy younger sister, Jen. Unfortunately we don't share a zip code. Boo. I live in Greensboro, NC and Jen lives in Salt Lake City, UT. However, we still come together to bring you our crafty little creations no matter where the venue. That said, we are excited to share with you of some upcoming shows we'll be participating in. Hooray!

If you live in the Triad or Triangle area (and you care to make the drive!), SquackDoodle will be at Shop Local on State Street in Greensboro Saturday, November 6 from 11:00 am-5:00 pm.



If you live in the Salt Lake area, come down to Oh Sweet Sadie! located in SoDa Row at Daybreak. This is going to be a fun three day event full of fabulous handmade shopping and crafty make and take classes.

Oh Sweet Sadie runs from:
Thursday, November 11 from 5:00-10:00 pm
Friday, November 12 from 3:30-10:00 pm
Saturday, November 13 from 10:00 am- 4:30 pm

For more information, check out the Oh Sweet Sadie! site HERE.

Also going on in the Provo area (it's just a little further south y'all) is The Beehive Bazaar being held at The Women’s Center. We have never participated at this venue so we're really excited to be a part of it. Stop in for some more fabulous shopping (perfect for slackers like me who haven't even thought of starting Chrismas shopping) handmade style in this three day event.

The Beehive Bazaar runs from:

Thursday, December 2 from 9:00 pm – 12:00 am
Friday, December 3 from 10:00 am – 10:00 pm
Saturday, December 4 from 10:00 am – 8:00 pm

Thanks to everyone at Shop Local, Oh Sweet Sadie!, and The Beehive Bazaar for letting us be a part of their fun. All of these events were highly sought after and we feel very appreciative for being chosen to participate. :)

Can't wait to see you there!!!

What a great weekend!!!

So SquackDoodle participated in the Tate Street Festival here in Greensboro on Saturday and all I can say is thank you to those supported us and, really, all things handmade. It was so much fun! The crowd was lively, the music was great, the food was yummy, and the weather (though a little hot) was beautiful. I've heard from other vendors that it has rained the last three years in a row but not this time. The sun was out in all its glory for this little duckie! Check out our pics below to feel like you were right there with us joining in the festivities. ;)









Did I mention there were roller derby girls skating around??? I CANNOT wait to check out a match!!! If only you lived in Greensboro Jen. Sigh.

Wishing for sweater weather (sigh)

When is this crazy hot weather going to end??? It's almost October! I can't wait for cold nights and seeing my breath in the air and walking out to frost on the grass in the morning. ♥♥♥ LOVE ♥♥♥

In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to daydream about boot wearing, sweater loving days of red leaves and cool breezes via these fun little articles of clothing.



Oh how I wish I could wear a trapper hat!
