(One of my favorite parts &#8211; putting their money where their mouth is.)<\/p>\n<p>There will be a Craft and Free Trade Marketplace where I will have an awesome booth that everyone can visit and buy tons of stuff. \u00a0I have been working on a ton of stuff to bring including lots of furniture, flour sack produce bags, reusable wine gift bags, wood signs, and a few new products I am trying out. \u00a0Over the next couple of weeks I will have some sneak peaks of what I will be bringing.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I am just trying to keep organized and get something done everyday. \u00a0I am using the same strategy as with the Habitat Luncheon &#8211; a piece of paper with a hand drawn calendar and a to do list. \u00a0Funny thing is I have tried a few different apps to have the same thing digitally but I haven&#8217;t found a way to make it work. \u00a0One day.<\/p>\n<p>There is so much to do there in addition to the festival. \u00a0You can camp and hike, check out the historical Waterloo Village or attend a workshop. \u00a0Check out the <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/highlandsfestivalatwaterloo.org\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/highlandsfestivalatwaterloo.org\/\">festival&#8217;s website for all the info<\/a>! \u00a0I look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so excited to tell you that I am going to be a vendor at the Highlands Festival at Waterloo Village in Allamuchy, NJ on September 19th and 20th!! &nbsp; I was first told about the festival when I&hellip; <br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"http:\/\/ridiculousredhead.com\/?p=2589\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[260,376],"tags":[420,421,336],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/ridiculousredhead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Waterloo-Flyer.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1J4KT-FL","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2609,"url":"http:\/\/ridiculousredhead.com\/?p=2609","url_meta":{"origin":2589,"position":0},"title":"Fall Craft Shows","date":"November 10, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I have been MIA lately but for good reason. \u00a0I have been crazy busy. \u00a0I have been trying to grow my business is all kinds of ways. \u00a0One of those has been to do more craft shows.
