All is Faire...

Brett and I are busy gearing up for our 5th weekend at the Bristol Renaissance Faire. So far, it has been an amazing experience! We are lucky enough to have wonderful merchant neighbors who are always willing to lend a hand and I get to listen to the Mud Show 5 times a day, which isn't as annoying as I thought it would be :) If you live anywhere near the Southeastern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois border, I strongly recommend you visit the Faire. The food, the shows, the shopping, the scenery!

I have to say, meeting the Bristol Renaissance Faire patrons has been my favorite part of this whole adventure. They are a friendly, spirited group of people who know how to have a good time. I've gotten sucked into many conversations, some serious and some silly, and I've enjoyed each one. And the giggles! My mom, who is helping me sell during the weekends while Brett is pouring more veggies, can't believe how often people laugh while passing by our booth. It's a great feeling to know that our products are producing such a positive response.

Speaking of patrons, we had one young lady in particular who was completely taken with our Pond Dwellers. She carefully selected a Pond Dweller and made sure he said goodbye to his family members. I am happy to report that she is an excellent caregiver and her Pond Dweller, Mr. Fuzzles is very content.

So for now, enjoy some photos and look forward to seeing more in the near future!

Picture 1: Mr. Fuzzles is saying goodbye to his cousin, Scummie. Scummie likes to hang out by the pirate tent on wet weekends and acts as the pirates' moat monster.

Picture 2: Mr. Fuzzles shows off his fancy, yet comfy, bed created by his new owner, Analisa.

Picture 3: Analisa modeling Mr. Fuzzles' sleeping bag. He is one spoiled little Pond Dweller!

I Want My MTV

Gobbledygook Creature Decor products were featured in the Style Lounge at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards! We participated in The Sampler gift bags which were handed out to actors, musicians, magazine/newspaper editors, and the like. Perhaps some famous person will fall in love with our goodies and catapult us to the top!

Photos will be posted soon!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Come visit us at the Bristol Renaissance Faire! Gobbledygook Creature Decor will be selling our Veggie Folk and Pond Dwellers at the Ren Faire this summer. Our little shop will be directly across from the Mud Show, located in Trader's Wharf.

The Bristol Renaissance Faire is located in Bristol, Wisconsin. It is open every Saturday and Sunday beginning July 5 and lasts through Labor Day. We have created 2 more Veggie Folk especially for the Faire - a garlic and a green pepper. These veggies will not be for sale on our website until the Ren Faire season is over. If you want one sooner, come see us at our booth :)

Read the Interview

We had the honor of being interviewed by the talented Jamie Chan of www.craftgossip.com. Jamie is the Indie Crafts editor and purchased some items from our Etsy shop after seeing us on the Sampler website.

Update

Long time, no post! We've been busy at Gobbledygook Creature Decor developing new products and getting ready for the summer season.

We are pleased to announce that our fairies are up on the website, along with Easter items - Baffled Bunnies and Maurice of the Cottontail Clan. As always, our products are handmade and will bring a unique touch to your seasonal and holiday decor.

Other exciting news.... we are participating in the March 2008 Sampler at www.homeofthesampler.com. You can purchase a sampler package that contains items from a variety of artists, musicians, writers, and other creative types.

And our goblins were on a television show! Dr. Destruction's Crimson Theater ran a segment on a local shop that carries our goblins and there was a great shot of our little creatures. Lucie, the shop's owner, did a super job of talking about our goblins. She gave a nice interview and we hope more people go and explore her store.

Additionally, Gobbledygook Creature Decor had the pleasure of making a GIANT egg for a local school's production of "Seussical the Musical." The elephant-bird Horton hatches will look adorable popping out of a huge purple, polka-dotted egg. It was a lot of work, but the kids are loving the egg :)

Keep an eye out for a few more new products at www.gcdecor.com over the next few months. Also check back to find out where we will be selling products this summer.
Happy decorating!

Merry Christmas!

Here are some pics from the Gobbledygook Creature Decor Employee Christmas Party.

Brett cooking up some goodies for the party.

Tamera making festive party hats 'cause it ain't a real party unless you are sporting a crazy hat.

Brett scarfing down the munchies and Tamera partying a little too hard. If only it wasn't just sparkling pear juice... and notice the lovely hats?

Merry Christmas and Happy Decorating!

Christmas Carrots

The Murray family is at it again! They sent me some photos of their carrots arranged in their Christmas tree. How cute is that?!? I tell you, that family is creative. Enjoy!
