From the Shop: Packing the Booth for Gilmore Girls Weekend ☕🍂

This Sunday is one of my favorite kinds of days: market day. ☕🍂

We're packing up the booth for the Crafty Collective Makers Market — Gilmore Girls theme — this Sunday, November 8, 11am–4pm at Haddon Square, 51 Haddon Ave in Haddon Township, NJ. If you love Stars Hollow energy, fall leaves, and an unhealthy amount of coffee, this one is for you. (And yes, I will be running on coffee. Some traditions are sacred.)

🛍️ What's Coming With Us

Fall is still front and center, with the first touches of Christmas sneaking in:

• Candles, including the limited-edition Christmas Morning candle from the Cozy Home Collection

• Jarfuls — including the tiny holiday Jarfuls, little shelf-and-windowsill-sized scenes

• Magnets that say "I smell snow" (because some of us have been waiting all year to say it)

• Bookmarks with a Rory line about books, for the readers who annotate in pencil and judge in silence

• Greeting cards, including the "Mint to Kill" candy cane card

• Gift boxes — Cozy Home and Frost and Fir — each with a Jarful tucked inside, because that's our signature

🎄 One Week to the Christmas Debut

Here's the part I'm buzzing about: our Christmas debut is next Friday, November 14. The full holiday collection lands online then — Jarfuls, gift box sets, hand-knit scarves, stockings, and candles, all the cozy things. Sunday's market is your first peek at the start of it, and then the whole thing goes live next week.

🧳 Booth Prep, Honestly

Packing for a show is controlled chaos with a checklist. Tent weights? Check — they're a must. Arrive early, unload fast, and turn two tables and a print stand into a tiny boutique before the doors open. That's the goal every single time: not a table full of stuff, but a little destination booth you actually want to wander into.

If you come by on Sunday, say hi. Tell me your favorite Gilmore Girls episode. (No wrong answers, but Lorelai would have opinions.)

💛 Thank You

Thank you for showing up for this little shop — at markets, online, and every time you tell a friend about us. It genuinely means the world, and it's why I get to keep making the cozy things.

With gratitude & glue guns, The Rustic Cow Crafts
