Meet the Vendor: Barbara and Brian Nick of Nana's Attic

Hi All!!! It's that time again. Please give a warm hello to 2 of our returning vendors.

Hello.  My name is Barbara Evans Nick.  My grandchildren and great-grandchildren call me Nana, hence, Nanalove.  My husband, Brian Nick, and I own Nana’s Attic and make handcrafted things.  At the moment we only prepared with our jewelry, earrings, bracelets, watches, rings and necklaces.  I also make paper beads and some of our pieces are made using these beads.  Making paper beads is addicting but so much fun.

By the spring we hope to have expanded our inventory to include, handmade greeting cards, journals, mini books made of tile, soap and anything else that uses lots of color.

We hope you will visit us at Southwest’s Craftacular.  Its great fun and just might find some Christmas gifts for family and friends.  

See you there.

Warm hugs,

Barbara & Brian Nick

Scholastic Book Fair

Have I mentioned that SWE PTA's Craftacular Craft & Vendor Fair is coming up on Saturday, November 15 from 9 to 2 at 2320 Cook Rd. in Durham? I have? Oh, well have I mentioned that on that day we will also have our Scholastic Book Fair open to the public while the craft fair is going on? Yep.
In the school's media center you will be able to purchase books from Scholastic. There are a number of books that are available only in hardback at your regular bookstore but Scholastic sells paperback versions. Your purchases at the book fair also directly benefit our school as a portion of those sales gets donated back to us.
Stop in. Check it out. Tell your friends.

Meet the Vendor: Tam Schellenberg

Today I get to introduce you to one of my best friends who has a knack for doing EVERYTHING brilliantly. I kid you not, you could give her some Popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners and she would come up with the best looking porch swing you've ever seen!
I'm thrilled to tell you folks with pooches that she has been dedicating her time to making healthy treats for pups. Here's what she says:

I started making these treats for my own dogs as a healthy alternative to the chemical-laden store bought treats. My Homemade Dog Treats are baked in my kitchen from only human grade ingredients. You wont find any ingredients that you wouldn't use for yourself, so there are no mystery ingredients. 

This year I will have three different flavors that will be sold by weight so you can mix and match to meet your pups palate.

 Perfect stocking stuffers for your pooch!

Meet the Vendor: A Crafty Pear

I am excited to introduce yet another vendor that will be attending our 2nd SWE PTA's Craftacular Craft & Vendor Fair this Saturday, November 15 from 9 to 2 at 2320 Cook Rd. in Durham.
Ladies and Germs: A Crafty Pear!
"The ladies of A Crafty Pear love to craft! We have crafts and gifts for all ages. Teacher gifts; stocking stuffers; bows and bow ties; treasure boxes; felted handbags and soap; burlap utensil holders, table runners, wreaths and more is what you will find at A Crafty Pear."

Look at all that adorableness. I am going to be next to this booth. That doesn't bode well for my wallet!
Make sure you stop by their booth and say hi!

Meet The Vendor!

This is where I get to introduce you to some of the vendors that we will have at our SWE PTA's Craftacular Craft & Vendor Fair that will be happening on Saturday, November 15, 2014 from 9am to 2pm at 2320 Cook Rd. in Durham not far from Southpoint Mall.
The next vendor you will meet is ME! I am Cheryl. I am an Independent Consultant for Jamberry Nail Wraps.
First a bit about myself.

That's me with my rug rats. They attend Southwest Elementary School where the fair will take place. They love the school and their parents (that's my husband and I) love the school. That's why I feel that events such as this are important. The money earned goes back to the school to help with programs and items that directly affect my little beasties.
As for Jamberry, I started selling it to help make some money for my little family. I had never thought about Direct sales before. Well, I thought about it I just didn't think it was for me. A friend introduced me to Jamberry Nail Wraps, which are these cool vinyl sicker like things that you apply to your nails with heat and pressure, and I was hooked after trying them. These things can last for almost 2 weeks on  your fingers and 4 to 6 on your toes. You don't need any special equipment. A hairdryer will do.
Here is a link to my website: http://cnavalinsky.jamberrynails.net/

Make sure to check me out at Craftacular. I will be having a drawing at my table AND you can find out how to host your own party at home or on Facebook.
