Welcome to Fiber Arts Friday! This week I am frantically getting labeled, packed and ready for the Michigan Fiber Festival where I will be a vendor. SQUEAL!!!!! I am going to be a vendor at the Michigan Fiber Festival! Pinch me! Wait! Don't pinch me that would hurt. Really, after months of knowing that I would be a vendor the time has finally came for reality to settle in. I am going to be one of the booths that people are searching out because they want to spin, knit, weave and adore the WONDER OF ALPACA! 
Fiber Artists are going to seek me out to buy my roving and yarns that I have carefully Certified Sorted so that they will get the best quality Alpaca products that is out there.I have been busy over the last few months spinning yarn, creating batts and working with my favorite mills to create amazing yarn and roving to sell. The most recent blends arrived last week ( yes, just in the nick of time) from my favorite mill that has worked with me since the beginning of my farm to make the most beautiful Suri Alpaca roving out there.
Although I have a few colors that I always stock, I have a few new colors for 2011. I won't be listing any of these items in my Etsy shop until after I get back from festival but I wanted to share my my color blends.
Next week's Fiber Arts Friday will be posted right from the Michigan Fiber Festival. If you get a chance to make it to Allegan, Michigan next weekend, make sure to stop by my booth, the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm in the Caulkin's Barn. It's still like a magical dream knowing that I am a vendor at my favorite Fiber Festival. Aw, now I feel like a Disney Princess, "Dreams really do come true!"

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful samples, happy Fibre Arts Friday:)
Can't wait to see you and all your fabulous fiber next weekend. I've been saving my pennies so I could pick up some pretties. This will be my first time taking a class so that should be fun too! Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the finer festival!
ReplyDeleteOh, Andrea...what fun awaits! I was actually IN Allegan when I visited Dawn last spring. I know you will have the time of your life, and with your delightful and charming personality, I am sure that you'll make quite a few 'Alpaca converts' before the festival is through! Have fun!XO
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Boy is it a lot of work to get it all in order, roving, spun samples, knit swatches and more. Good luck and I hope all your hard work pays off!
ReplyDeleteGood luck next week. The green fibre is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFun! Fun! Fun! Can't wait to hear all about your vending experience!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations (and good luck getting everything together in time!)! I wish I could be there, your rovings and yarns look just beautiful, and I'd definitely be hanging out at your booth petting them. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning! I love the photos you have taken, showing the "raw" product, spun product and then knitted product. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteENJOY the festival, and I am sure you will have time to pop around and have a look at the other vendors as well.
Wowee! Your excitement is palpable! Have a wonderful time and hope your vendor experience is everything you hope it to be. Cannot wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteYour new colors are so pretty, I can't wait to see them in person! I'm thinking good thoughts for excellent weather and lots of customers for all my fiber friends who are participating in this much anticipated yearly event!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the joy coming right thru the screen. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the photos with the roving, yarn and knitted sample.
Best of luck next weekend. I think you will do well.
Awesome!! I hope you sell so much that you need to take custom orders!!! Have a blast!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tease ... "here's what I have, but it's NOT for sale!"
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the festival!
Wish I could visit your booth. Hint hint hint...maybe you should consider the Hoosier Hills Fiber Arts Festival also...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours!! Have a great time :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to have some green at MFF? I may be interested in some of that...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you show samples of the roving, yarn & knitted! For a novice like me it really gives me a better idea of what my finished product might look like.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the festival next weekend! and once again, I don't know how you manage to have time for all these things you do, you energizer bunny!
ReplyDeleteAllyB - Yes, I will definitely have some of that green blend for you.
ReplyDeleteSpinsterBeth - If you see a blend you want, you know I will set up a custom order for one of my favorite customers.
Everyone else - Thank you for the lovely compliments. I am super excited to be a vendor at this great Fiber Festival.
