Destashing Fabric!

Once again I've sorted through my ginormous fabric stash and have found more than a few yards with which I'm willing to part. My loss shall be your gain! Prices are $3 per yard and less, with much of this fabric being closer to $2 per yard. Shipping is extra, of course, however quite a bit of fabric will fit in a flat-rate Priority box!! These pieces vary from half a yard to about 3 yards; I'd rather sell an entire piece, however if you want quite a few pieces, I can probably sell you just as much as you need. And if you're in the Sacramento area, arrangements can be made for you to pick up your fabric to save on shipping!

The first couple of pictures are mostly Autumn and Halloween fabrics, then there's a couple pictures of Americana fabrics, and one of Christmas fabrics. After that are a few odds and ends ... isn't that Cupid toile soooooo sweet?!

If you'd like to buy some of this fabric, you can email me at prairieprimitives@sbcglobal.net. Please tell me which picture the fabric you want is in (1st, 2nd, etc.) and describe the fabric (colors or pattern). Thanks!

Fall Preview & Craft Supply "Destash" Sale

Come meet several of the artists from the Sac Etsy Team, this Sunday (August 16th) in beautiful downtown Diamond Springs!

This will be first of hopefully many team sales events featuring local (Sacramento area) artists who sell their artistic creations on the Etsy.com web site! Some of the artists who will be participating include Shell Benesch (http://BrightAndBeautiful88.etsy.com & http://BridgetsCottageBiz.etsy.com), Tana Taylor (http://PrairiePrimitives.etsy.com & http://PrairiePrimitivesToo.etsy.com), Sara (http://MomwithaHook.etsy.com & http://SnailMailPals.etsy.com), and Sarah Hawke (http://Beadskinz.etsy.com). In addition to the wonderful handmade items, we'll also be offering many of our leftover craft supplies for sale!

You can find us at 512 Main Street, #7 in Diamond Springs. We should be open by 9am or so and will stay till we sell out or get tired, whichever comes first ... I'm sure we'll be there till at least 2pm!

Diamond Springs is near Placerville and about an hour from downtown Sacramento.

There is also a weekly swap meet nearby, so bring the hubby and kids and send them over there while you peruse the treasures at our sale!

California Chit Chat Girls of Etsy

My favorite Etsy forum is the weekly one featuring the California Chit Chat Girls. The only requirement to chat in this particular forum is that you live in California! You don't even have to be a girl (but we all are, or ummm ... claim to be!).

(I'll try to get an image of the Treasury in here, but Blogger isn't cooperating at the moment ... grrrr!!!)

Yoli, the Mistress of this particular forum, has compiled a Treasury and she was kind enough to include my blue ditty bag! If you're registered on Etsy, log in and then you can vote by clicking on your favorite items in the Treasury. You have 12 votes per Treasury and can use them all on one item, one on each item, or any combination you choose! Of course I would be delighted if you saw fit to vote for my ditty bag ... early and often as they say! :-)
