with the teacher theme. I put this collection of items together from Etsy as a starting point
for your creative shopping to jump off from. Be inventive, be personal, be useful and

Bottle Cap Key Chains by Old Yarn Girls

| Click for Jessi Kirby's Blog |
Well, we were recently asked by author Jessi Kirby to come up with a tchotchke-type something for the release of her new novel In Honor due out this May. Of course we had already read the book long ago, so after some brainstorming on the storyline, the Old Yarn Girls came up with this totally-revelvent-to-the- story-themed-keychain. The Keychain incorporates the red boots featured on the cover, maps from Arizona to California, the keychain to tie in the road trip journey and the bottle cap to give that All-American feel you enjoy throughout the story. Check out Kirby's Blog for more book details and Page Girl's Page for the book review.

The Old Yarn Girls Try Out The Flea Market
SO the Old Yarn Girls tried out our first Flea Market in Ventura California this weekend. We were up at 3 a.m. with the cars packed and loaded and set off in the dark. It was freezing cold and the wind was whipping. But, by the time the sun rose and the Flea Market opened at 7a.m. we were set up and feeling good. 
We definatly learned some things, such as a canopy cover is great for drizzily rain or blistering sun, but not so great for gusty gale force winds. At one point I think we almost blew away. We had to make some alterations to our outdoor shop as the day went on, but sometimes you just have to move where the wind takes you. 
We talked to people, sold some things, shopped for ourselves and had a good time being together. A special thank you to Brian, Jamel and Bella who helped out that day, you were our anchors, literally! And we can't forget to mention all of the dads that cooked us dinner and were the key baby wranglers for the day! The Old Yarn Girls could not have done it without you!
