Happy September Candy Fans!!

Happy September indeed!!

So many things are happening within this month. For example, did you know that September is the "AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Month," "Mold Awareness Month," "National Chicken Month," "Library Card Sign-up Month," and "Be Kind to Editors & Writers Month"? Who knew?!

In addition to all those important things, September is also the month of the Fall Pecatonica "Pec Thing": an event at which Propaganda Candy will be selling its goods. Want more info? Clicky-click THIS to read on. Not only should I be wishing you all a Happy September, but I should also be wishing you a "Sweet Sixteen-More-Days-Until-the-Fall-Pec-Thing."

Man are we busy!!

That's all for now! I'm off to inspect my fridge for fuzzy objects, appreciate my dog, check out some books, eat a chicken, and assert my right to the kindness of people.

Hey, it's be kind to Editors & Writers month! I write...don't I?!

Love,
Carolyn Michelle

A Pec Thing Recap and Future Event Announcement

Hello everyone! Here's a quick summary of the debut of the Propaganda Candy debut:

It was awesome!

So many friends, family, and new faces visited the booth. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, not only did Propaganda Candy break even, we had the finances available to rent a booth and table at another show.

Da-da-da! Announcing the second-ever Propaganda Candy event:

Propaganda Candy will be at the Yellow Creek Crafters, Antique, and Flea Market show at the Stephenson County Fairgrounds in Freeport, Illinois.

June 5th and 6th from 8 AM-5 PM. $2 entrance fee, but kids 10 and under are FREE!

It will be much the same type of show as the Pec Thing: tons of vendors across the fairgrounds selling anything from furniture to food.

All this event info and more can be found on our Facebook page for the show. Also, if you haven't already, make sure to "Like" Propaganda Candy on Facebook. When you do, you'll get to receive show updates, get to see even more pictures, and watch our official videos. Do it.

That's the end of my shameless self-propaganda.

Hmmm...I wonder where we got the name from...



Have a blessed and crazy week!
Love,
Carolyn Michelle

Day I: The Debut of Propaganda Candy at the Pecatonica "Pec Thing"

There is no remedy so powerful to a case of the pre-show nerves as a perfectly lovely spring day.

Hello, and welcome to the debut of Propaganda Candy, a crafty collaboration of me, Carolyn Michelle, and my dear friend Samantha Marie. Our first ever event began today in Pecatonica, Illinois at the 30th Annual "Pec Thing."

For those poor unfortunate souls who have never heard of the Pec Thing, I'll break it down for you: basically, it's a giant garage sale/flea market/craft show/amazing thing in which sellers rent booths and sell whatever they can haul in. :) Samantha and I hauled in crafty goods.

This has been an interesting experience thus far and, my dears, it has only been a day. Did I mention this was our first show, EVER?! Hence, the tired, incoherent ramble-of-a-post this has become.

If anyone is reading this at the moment, I will solemnly vow to provide a more detailed history (after some sleep perhaps?) of Propaganda Candy and those responsible.

For now, hang tight. Good night. See you in Pec?

Lots of love,
Carolyn Michelle
