My golly, where has the time gone! Prairie Pearl had a busy winter spending the holiday with family. The Craft business slows in the winter time, since the town closes down after the holidays. My items were available all winter at the Ozark Rag Craft Emporium in Branson West, Missouri, and shoppers were still looking for Christmas and Valentine gifts. Now it is time to start restocking the shop making and updating some packaging, trying out new recipes and getting ready for some spring craft shows. I officially retired from work, allowing me to work full time on Prairie Pearl. You can look forward to more posts, new products and new blog updates!

Right now, I am signed up to participate at the Cajun Days festival in Reeds Spring, Missouri in May 18th. I will have the best of Prairie Pearl products as well as some new and limited edition items. If you are in the Branson area on May 18th be sure to check out Cajun Days in Reeds Spring. Reeds Spring Cajun Days is an outdoor festival that features live music, food vendors, and craft booths. Money raised from sponsors and vendor fees is used to fund the Rotary Club of Table Rock Lake's many community enrichment projects. And yes, they DO have shrimp and craw fish! I will need to be sure I have a big stock of my Cajun dip. Just a bit of heat. Come by and take a taste!
