That's fantastic! I love that CL often features crafts people's items in their magazine at some point during the year as well. It's really worth the money to get the exposure at the fair...so many people pass through during the weekend that I'd think most stalls would do pretty well. Their standard for vendors is high, that's why I went...I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. When Etsy started out, it was good. Now it's hard to get noticed and there are so many people reselling pre-made items bought off alibaba in bulk that I don't really look there...it's a shame as it started off on the right foot but has gone downhill the past few years.
I love my fireplace..I haven't used it in a few years as it hasn't been too cold, but I think we might be in store for a real winter this year and I'm looking forward to firing it up...just not looking forward to going near my spider infested woodpile.
