Our First Reading Fall Street Faire

Hello Friends! Swirly participated in our first Fall Street Faire in our hometown a few weeks ago.

We visit the event every year with the kids and always left saying "Gee, next year we should get a booth and give it a try". Well, things happen and we always seem forget to register. :-(

This year, however, we remembered! And we're glad we did. The weather was sunny and pleasant, which brought in the crowds. The event organizer estimated approx 10,000 people visited this one day event, choc full of local businesses. Having two kids in the school system here, we were visited by many of our school friends, parents, teachers and neighbors. It was funny that they were all kind of surprised and a little puzzled to actually see what we make and do for a living. I guess we aren't the heaviest self promoters of what we do when socializing with our community.

Crowds of people roam the streets visiting and supporting the community.

Our booth is all set up and ready. (It was quite windy that day, so our table cloths were blowing)

A framed process helps explain what polymer clay is and how we make our Swirlies.

All and all it was a fun day. Having our kids join us for a large part of the day helping pass out business cards was great. And when the event was over and the car was packed up it was especially nice to know we were only a 5 minute car ride home!

Remember to Shop Local and Buy Handmade!

Where is our Halloween update?

Next week is the start of Autumn. The kids have returned to school, the days are getting cooler and we are busy gearing up for the upcoming Holiday season.

However, we are usually gearing up and preparing for our BIG Swirly Halloween launch right about now...BUT after much debate (well, as much as two people can have:) we decided we weren't going to do a large Halloween/Autumn collection launch this year. Boo!Hiss! I know! Instead we are focusing more on our very popular Christmas collection.

We didn't want to totally pass by one of our favorite Holiday seasons without some acknowledgment, so to celebrate, we have updated our Autumn & Halloween ornament section in our shop with some of our favorite Swirly Designs. And if you are on our mailing list you will have an opportunity to order a special Halloween and/or Autumn Swirly ornament set coming shortly. So be on the look out for that.

Hope you are enjoying the season! Happy Autumn!

Look who Swirled by the Studio

It's always nice to have visitors come to the Swirly Studio. It's a great way for us to really get the studio clean and organized. (Don't mind the vacuum cleaner, trying to get it spotless!)

Plus it give us another reason to decorate the studio with seasonal flowers.

The visitor we had the pleasure of finally meeting, after working with her only threw social media for the a few years now, is Iris Weiss from Polyform Products. Which makes our all-time favorite crafting material!

Even though there is two of us working here most of the time, it's always nice to exchange stories and ideas with other creative professionals. It was so nice of Iris to visit our little Swirly studio. We had a wonderful time talking shop, sharing marketing ideas and giving her a peak into our new Sculpey & Swirly Halloween and Christmas Holiday how-to projects coming soon!

Be sure to follow Polyform Products on Facebook and Swirly Designs to stay updated on our upcoming how-to projects.
