Operation Craft Fair: Complete

Some of you may know that my older sister Laurie and I have been running our very own sweat shop with ourselves as the only employees for the past few months. I made a TON of jewelry, picture frames, and a whole lot of baby gifts. Laurie is a nurse at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Mn. Every year they have a massive craft fair and this year we decided, 'Why not rent a booth?' Well, the day finally arrived after an 11 hour drive to Minnesota -not to mention a couple near death experiences due to middle-of-the-night driving adventure with my parents. This was our first venture at a Craft Fair, so we learned a lot, but more importantly, we made a decent amount of cash!! I also want to mention my INCREDIBLE mom and sister, Rachael who worked tirelessly at sewing and contributing to our inventory.

We also managed to fit in a trip to the Pannekoeken-Dutch Family Restaurant. Famous of course for their Dutch style pancakes. While Laurie had the seasonal Pumpkin Pannekoeken and my mom had the traditional Pecan Pannekoeken, I kept it Southern and had a Bacon Pannekoeken. IT WAS ABSOLUTLEY FAB!! A little syrup+bacon= pure heaven. The best thing about this place is the fact that the waitresses bring each Pannekoeken out chanting, "Pannekoeken, Pannekeoken, Pannekeon" (see Northern Fargo accent). I guess it's just one of those places you have to visit first hand to get the full experience.

Here are a few of our best sellers- Tie and Bow Tie onesies and my neice, Charlotte modeling the Ruffle Onesie...
