Wicker Baby Booties For Sale....Cheap Cheap!

Let's say you have an opportunity for your husband to raid a craft store that's going out of business and you can take WHATEVER you want.  Amigurumi-makers out there, you can score eyeballs!!!  There are patterns galore, doll parts, artsy stuff, there's fake flowers and little birdies and goodness only knows what!

Now, let's say you are mother to a toddler and a nursing infant, so you feel that rummaging around a giant warehouse searching for elusive craft treasures, with your weens in tow, isn't exactly your idea of fun, so off you send your husband with the hopes of scoring amazing things!  Fabulous things!  Things you can craft to your heart's extent with, and hopefully sell some of what you got and make piles and piles of money!!!! 

Enter reality, stage left.

I'm sorry, I didn't hear you correctly....You brought home what?

Oh, these super wicker baby booties.  Aren't they nifty!  I am pretty sure there are people ready to line up at our door, begging to buy these!!  I got about a million of them!!!!

To do what with?

Oh, I don't know, crafty stuff.  Come on, there's lots of things you can do with these.  Everybody is going to want them.

Right....

****note**** When given the task to raid a warehouse full of crafting goodness,  Do Not Send Husbands.  In his defense, he was not alone in making these decisions.  Another husband was with him.  Oh, and one more note, The Mister has probably never actually used the word "nifty". Creative license.

Many years later....ask me how many of these baby booties we have sold....Hmmmmm....about 36, because we had a yard sale last week and I practically begged people to take them off my hands.

To give you an idea how small they are.  The cup next to the booty is a plastic cup you would give a child when at a picnic.  Very small.  Now, this doesn't mean these booties aren't totally cute and could be completely useful...just, you have to be the right person.  AKA somebody who is throwing a baby shower and wants to use them as favors, filled with candy.  Or somebody who knows somebody who's having a baby and wants to attach them to the present as a cute touch.  You could even attach them to a baby's Christmas present.  Very cute, just....not many people need miniature wicker baby booties.

I'll show you what I made with them, to give my people at the yard sale an idea of what can be done, tomorrow.  I am also going to host a contest in the next month or so to see what ideas you out there in blogville come up with.  The prize will be GRAND!!!  (probably a box of baby booties for your own use.)  Stay tuned for details.

If you, yes you reading this blog, want some, please contact me.  I am more than happy to sell you some and ship them to your location.  Cheap.

Thanks for reading!
