What would you do if you had an infant business, limited stock and no market experience, and you received this email: "a question: if a place in the indie craft section at the Stitches and Craft Show in March was to become available would you be interested? 5 days, lots of fun, 10,000's of visitors? I took the liberty of putting your name forward to Living Creatively and they are really interested in Tinniegirl."You'd say yes. You know you would. What else can you do when opportunity kicks your door down? So from March 11th - 15th you'll find me at the Stitches and Craft Show. I'll be selling Tinnies as well as launching some new goodies that you're just going to love.
I'll be sharing my stall with a very fabulous blogger and crafter - I'll tell you who it is as soon as she's posted about it too. I'm so glad I get a buddy to hold hands with for this.
Please come and say Hi. I'm pretty nervous and excited, overwhelmed by what I need to organise and so looking forward to it. I'd love to see you there.Now if that's not a reason to Love Fridays I don't know what is. Thanks Dear Fii. I think you might have just changed my life!

Ms L and I have been to Coles tonight to buy all the things we are donating to different appeals. Toiletries to go to the Salvos, pet food for an appeal happening at work and lots of goodies to go into the Rainbow Comfort Packs. We loved the idea of getting more bang for our buck by buying our donations on the day Coles is donating all their profits.
Cash has gone off to the Red Cross and Wildlife Victoria, and tomorrow I'm going to Nikki's Sewing Bee. I'll be sending a few Tinnies off to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Etsy Shop over the weekend so keep an eye out if you'd like to buy one and support the appeals.I hope that your Friday is good. I feel like my shock has subsided a little and I am able to actually start thinking about how to help. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and putting my creativity to good use.
