Kalamazoo Week: Off We Go!

Second Post of the Day

I'm leaving this morning for Kalamazoo with my long time friend and Leslie's bestie, Gretchen.


Gretchen is also an event volunteer and has to be there early Friday and stay late Sunday. 


Lisa and Gretchen disrupting clowning around paying attention respectfully while attending a Feast meeting.

I hitched a ride with her last year and am doing so again. Which means we will arrive in Kalamazoo both hoarse from all the gabbing as we drove, but maybe some chocolate will remedy that, right Gretchen?

My Jolis Chevaux items rode up ahead of time on Wednesday.


Rick and Leslie have already brought my things into the North Expo and have begun setting up my booth for me. Mine are the three brown tables in the front; theirs are the other two and plus those in the back already covered with block print table covers.


Then they got out my block print table covers and put the clothing racks up for me, too.


They also hung my garment bags up on the racks. 


I am incredibly grateful to them for their help. I've got some fancy chocolates for them, but I think that after all that they've done, I will get them a gift card to their favorite restaurant, too.


Hard to believe that after the weeks and weeks of sewing and preparing, the event is finally here. I am so excited!

I have written some blog posts ahead of time and scheduled them to post on Saturday and Sunday. That way you will have more opportunities to comment and enter the March Give Away.


Stay 'tooned!
