What a wonderful day!!

So... My mother and I have been selling our crafts at local craft bazaars now for a few years. This year has by far been the worst year so far. Besides that I get to spend some quality time with my mom and we get to see everyone else’s crafts and best of all we get to barter with other people.

Today I got an alpaca teddy bear for Ava, I feel a little bad that it was made out of real Alpaca fur... BUT it was from Peru and they eat Alpacas down there so I felt a little bit better. I also barter some of my photography for some felted Alpaca balls for Ava to play with, but since we have been home the dogs keep stealing them.  In our rounds at the bazaar this lady handmade baby dresses and there was one that was Ava's size and it was BEAUTIFUL, but I was being a good crafter and not spending the money I didn't have. As we were packing up to leave the lady walks up with a black bag and hand it to me. She said that she wanted my daughter to have this dress, and that she knew she would look beautiful in it. I was so blown away, and she insisted that I have the beautiful dress. My mom took her a pair of earrings as a thank you gift. Then the ladies across from us gave Ava a handmade tutu, she is quite the charmer :)

So the moral of my story is that people even in hard time are incredibly generous and we are very thankful for the wonderful gifts!

I hope everyone else is enjoying the wonderful Holiday Season!!!

 Cheers,
