Saurkraut Weekend: Photos

Thought I would share some of the photos from this years Sauerkraut Festival. Also, if you have some photos of you and your baskets that you purchased from us, send them to our email and we will post them on here! Show us how you use them around your house, how you use them for gifts, or just you and the basket you picked!



This lady was being Dorothy for Halloween and needed a baskets too carry her "Toto". Super cute idea!

Potato Festival Review

What a cold and wet weekend we had. But thanks to everyone who showed up and purchased the baskets. We did the best we could to keep them covered, and to pack them into giant trash bags! The soaps went over great, and we hope she will make some more for us next year. We still aren't sure if we will be doing the Potato Festival next year, it was more of a "food" type festival and we are all about the "crafts". We will let you know as soon as we talk it over with the families.

Saurkraut Weekend

We hope everyone will venture out and enjoy this warm fall weather! We set up the booth last night and have tons of baskets for you to chose from this year. We also have handmade Amish Soap, and it is all natural.

Hope too see everyone there!

Nice to Meet You

It was so nice meeting everyone at the Potato Festival. We found that a lot of people really enjoy hearing the history of the families and the culture. Thanks for talking to us, and keeping us standing so we could warm up!!

It was a colder/wet weekend, but that didn't stop our shoppers. Can't wait too see everyone {new customers and repeat customers} next weekend at the Sauerkraut Festival!

Don't forget you can follow us on Twitter for more updates on sold out baskets, and new arrivals! Look for us @buggybaskets .

Potato Festival

Hope too see you all out this weekend at the Potato Festival! We got set up last night and ready to go. Lots of new baskets and rugs. Also this year we have Handmade Amish Soap. 8 scents to chose from, and they are amazing!

We are booth number 106, northern end of the festival. Hope too see you there!

Potato Festival Information

We have been asked about the Potato Festival several times, so I wanted to get as much information out there as we can. You can stop by their website and see the details they are providing. But here is what we can tell you about the festival:

Location: Spring Valley Ohio; State Route 725 and US 42.
Dates: October 2-3, 2010
Times: Arts and Craft Booth open to the pubic at 9:00am both days and end on Saturday at 9:00pm and Sunday at 6:00pm.

We are still not sure where our booth will be located, we hope to get that information this week and we will let everyone know. Hoping to have some new release baskets available that weekend as well!

Where Have We Been?

That's a great question! The summer is a month of on the go. I'm sure everyone, including yourself, gets busy with the fun in the sun and never spend much time on the computer. But now school is back in, the summer flowers and veggies are coming to an end, which means i'm back to a schedule. The end of summer is a sad time for most, school kids at least, but it's an exciting time for Buggy Baskets!

Fall is right around the corner and that means new baskets are being made, festivals are in the works, and lots of fall smells in the air. We are so excited. Our schedule is starting to fill up with all kinds of things. Starting in September we will be making another trip to Wayne and Holmes County to pick up our first set of festival baskets. Then we will be collecting all the baskets made from Hillsboro the following weekends. The Amish are getting excited to get these baskets ready for you all. The have new designs that they are wanting to try out this year, and I know you will love them! {I do and already have my order in.}

We also have added a festival this year. We will be attending the Potato Festival in Spring Valley! Its October 2-3, the weekend before the Sauerkraut Festival. Then of course we will be at the Sauerkraut Festival, same spot.

We can't wait to share all the new baskets with you all. And we may even throw in a giveaway at each festival! Stay turned for more details!
