Upcoming Events

Apparently, I don't know how to "ease" back into my business, as I have taken on three events next month!  They are all Quartermanias, which are a lot of fun to vendor at.  I have tried marking up a calendar, alternating between baking and sewing...we'll see if I can follow it.

Below is the information about what a Quartermania is, as well as the dates.  Please let me know if you'd like to come and I will get tickets for you!  I will be introducing a couple of new items, and I will blog more about each event after it happens.  Contact me for the addresses and tickets!

QUARTERMANIA DATES:

 

Sunday, February 9th   Bristol, PA  (fundraising for the school softball team)

 

Friday, February 21st   Hamilton, NJ  (fundraising for Crockett Middle School)

 

Saturday, March 1st  New Egypt, NJ  (fundraising for Mid-Atlantic Bulldog Rescue)

What is a Quartermania Paddle Fundraiser? It's a cross between an auction and a home show! Local direct sales vendors, as well as local businesses will be auctioning off new items for only 1-4 quarters per bid! You can win items retailing up to $100 for mere quarters! If you like Bingo or Tricky Trays you will love QUARTERMANIA!

Tickets can be purchased in advance only for $5 each - you will receive 2 game paddles
Additional Paddles may be purchased... for $2.00 each
MUST BE 21 TO ATTEND.
50/50
***Don't Forget to Bring Your Quarters!!!!***

How It Works:
- Each item up for bid will be displayed for all guests to see.
- There will be a brief description, retail value and how many quarters you will need to bid. Guests that want to play will give their bid (quarters) and hold up their numbered paddle.
- When all bids are collected, the auctioneer will draw a numbered ball from the container. If the number on your paddle matches the number on the ball drawn, you've won that item! If a matching numbered paddle is not held up, the auctioneer will draw again, until we have a winner.
- Once we have a winner all balls will be placed back in the container and go to the next item to be auctioned.

Quartermania Tomorrow!

Tomorrow's the big day...Quartermania!!  If you want more info about the event, click here for my post.  I think I am ready.  Just need to label everything and pack up all my goodies. 

Two of my auctions will be cookie baskets...here's a preview of them:

Spring theme...

St. Patrick's Day theme...

 

I hope to see you there tomorrow!  Just remember to tell the person at the door that you're here to see Three Peas and a Dog!

Quartermania!

I love holiday weekends!  We were so productive today!  The hubby organized the Peas toys, while I cleaned up the kitchen, sorted through school artwork and did some sewing.  I was working on my sandwich/large snack bag (different from my sandwich wrap)...I'm still working on placement of the "pulls", which help with separating the velcro.  I will try one more idea I have tomorrow. 

 

Sooooo, I've been hesitant about participating in craft shows right now because I really need to focus on building up my inventory.  However, this event came up and I couldn't pass it by!!!

 

QUARTERMANIA!!  I've never actually been to one, but everyone I've talked to that's gone said it's a blast.  This will be my first official event, so I'm super excited!  If you're in Central Jersey and you're free on March 2nd, please come and support me!  Here is the information, as per the Facebook event page:
