The Cleveland Strawberry Festival in Clayton, NC

Bertie with Hug Me Slugs and Hug Me Sock Kittens, original art toys by Elizabeth RuffingSome of my toys are going to the Cleveland Strawberry Festival in Clayton, NC tomorrow. This is the first time I’ve tried them out at an event. It’s their first time out of the house too 🙂 They’ll be at the Alley Cats and and Angels booth.

I made a whole lot of tags for them, not knowing how many I’d need. I had picked out almost again as many toys as are in this box.

I made this little sign for the side of my box.

These cigars are a big hit in our house. (I borrowed these two photos below from the rescue.) I have to get some more of those.
