Kottage Kupboard Boutique

It is time for the Kottage Kupboard Spring Boutique! I am so excited! Don't let all of the superfluous K's in the name deter you. This is one of my favorite shows because the shopping is so fantastic there. It is also a dangerous show, because it is really hard to not spend more than I earn. The other vendors are so incredibly talented and they have such unique and well-made items. It almost makes me feel inadequate when I walk in the door. Almost.

We set up for the show yesterday afternoon and I already found several items that I want to purchase. I found the cutest little pair of sandals for Nadia. I bought shoes for Nadia from this same vendor at the Christmas show, and they have been the best pair of shoes I ever bought. They do have squeakers in them which I promptly removed because the only people who think that hearing a squeak every time their kids take a step is adorable are the delusional parents of that child. Everyone else is just annoyed by it. Anyhow, I am really hoping that the sandals are there when I go back after the show is open. I was tempted to take them and hide them so that nobody else would get to them first! The guy who makes gourmet jellies and carmel sauces is there too, and I won't have to resort to any devious behaviors to get my hands on a jar of yummy carmel pecan sauce. Maybe my mom would like one for Mother's Day. Hmmm....

The other booths are also fabulous. I don't think I will be winning any "Best Booth" awards at this show. (Speaking of which, Amy actually remembered to take pictures of our "Award Winning Booth Design" which I will post as soon as I have a copy of the photos!) After Amy and I finished setting up our booth yesterday, we wandered around a little bit and looked at some of the other booths and were so impressed at the fancy booth designs that we saw. But the sound of the power tools required to put these fabulous booths together was enough to deter us from wanting to go in that direction. At least we can take our entire booth apart by hand and fit it in one HUGE bag.

If you would like to check out the fabulousness that is this show, I have all of the info on the sidebar to the right. It opens today and runs through Saturday. It is at the Golden Spike Event Center in North Ogden. It is worth the drive!
