Notepad Sets

5-1/2" x 6-1/2" Notepad Set
It holds a 4" x 6" pad and a pen.
Here's the piece de resistence - my dad made the pens. Hand turned on the lathe. Isn't that cool?
This is my favorite part! My experience has been that people love this personal touch. People loved knowing that Dad made the wood frames for some of my pieces. I have a little bio sheet I include with each purchase - people often ask for extras, especially if the item is a gift for someone else. I've started leaving spares on the table and I've seen people take a bio sheet even if they don't purchase anything.
I'm selling them for $14. The pen alone is worth twice that but Dad's being a stinker about pricing. "I don't want to be in the pen business. I make them when I want to. No deadlines for me." At 77, he's certainly earned that right.
I'll put any leftovers on the Pine Tree Designs website.

As much pre-craft show anxiety as I felt yesterday morning, by the time I got home from work, I was very calm and relaxed. As I finished up a few things I was thinking how happy I was because participating in craft shows is so darn much fun. I get to talk to my customers, stitch during the slow times, hang with my crafty vendor friends - and make money.
Because this show is just before Mother's Day, I'm featuring gift sets. Check out this newest one.

If there are leftovers, save some for me! I love that gift set!
Yes, it's a great set! I understand your dad's feelings regarding the pens. My dad was a wood worker and enjoyed making new things, but he only made as many as he wanted. My sister and I were at home and were the lucky recipients of many things that no one else got, because he was done making them and off to something else.
