It's about 6:30 am here in Charlotte, and today is the first official day of the ICA Show. Yesterday was a setup day for most vendors. Lee Ann and I came down a day early and most of the work was done, so we spent most of yesterday greeting some of the early buyers that showed up.
I wish I had more Easter eggs. I had no idea they would be such a hot item. I am nearly sold out, and the show has not officially opened to the general public yet. It was a little bit of a egg feeding frenzy yesterday.
Lee Ann and I talked over dinner last night and decided that next year I will need to make several hundred of these little guys.
We are "eggspecting" a huge crowd today, so I better sign off and get going. I will post more later tonight and promise some fun pictures.
So EGG-CITING! I think Chicken Frenzy has hit - not only eggs are selling, but anything "chicken"! I sold 2 chicken pins from my etsy shop last week - so I better get busy and make more of them!

What Is The Greentiques Solution?
The Greentiques Solution is the simple idea that by restoring, recycling, repurposing, and creating things with their own 2 hands, americans can make a positive impact on the economy and help save the planet.
What is a Greentique?
A "greentique" is simply this....Pretty much any old thing that can be recycled, restored, repurposed, fixed or made beautiful again, including furniture, picture frames, piano keys, bicycle spokes, old clothes and maybe even a dirt clod or two.

As a young boy my parents could not afford new furniture. We spent a lot of time at auctions, garage sales and searching trash cans for what we thought might be usable after a bit of elbow grease. My first job was stripping furniture for an antique shop located in a small town in Kansas. I have had a number of adventures and occupations since then, but the most rewarding and empowering endeavors were the ones where I made something out of nothing using my own two hands, and teaching others how to do the same thing.
