Two Christmas markets, two locations, and a whole weekend of holiday shopping!

Backyard Bliss and Perfectly Square Woodcraft are getting ready for another busy weekend, and this time we’re splitting up to bring our handmade goodies to TWO fantastic events!

CHRISTMAS MARKET AT HISTORIC SHADY LANE
Saturday, November 14 & Sunday, November 15
10 AM – 3 PM both days

475 Shady Lane
Manchester, PA 17345

We’ll be set up at the Historic Shady Lane both days, and guess who’s coming along? LOKI!

Our favorite four-legged helper will be joining us Saturday AND Sunday! Stop by to say hello, give Loki some attention, and shop our handmade pet bandanas, accessories, and woodcraft creations.

COUNTRY & CHRISTMAS CRAFT SHOW
Saturday, November 14
9 AM – 3 PM

York Expo Center – Memorial Hall East
334 Carlisle Avenue
York, PA 17404

With over 150 crafters and vendors, this is a great opportunity to get a head start on Christmas shopping! We’ll have plenty of handcrafted items that make wonderful gifts.

Whether you’re shopping for your pets, decorating your home, or looking for something special for someone on your Christmas list, we’d love to see you!

Two businesses, two great events, and lots of handmade Christmas gifts!

And if you’re coming to Shady Lane, don’t forget to stop and say hi to Loki. He’s always happy to meet new friends!

Things We Hear at the Backyard Bliss Booth!

After spending so many weekends at craft shows, we’ve heard some pretty funny questions and comments about our pet bandanas. Here are a few of our favorites!

“I thought those were bikinis!”
Nope! Although we’re sure someone out there has a dog who would rock a bikini. They’re reversible scrunchie-style pet bandanas!

“You make bandanas THAT big?”
Yep! Some dogs have necks bigger than people’s waists. We go all the way up to XXL for those giant babies!

“Do people really dress their dogs up?”
Oh, you have no idea. Some of our customers have better wardrobes for their dogs than they do for themselves!

“Wait, those are for CATS too?”
Absolutely! We don’t discriminate against our feline customers. They just tend to be a little less enthusiastic about modeling.

“How does the dog tie that around its neck?”
That’s the best part! No tying required. It just slips right over their head.

“Do you have anything for a 200-pound dog?”
We sure do! We have a 200-pound English Mastiff at home, so we know the struggle of finding cute things for giant breeds.

“Why would a dog need a p**p bag holder?”
Well, the dog doesn’t. But unless you’ve trained yours to clean up after itself, you’re probably going to need one!

“Do you actually make all of these?”
Every single one! Lots of cutting, sewing, ironing, and occasionally wondering why we decided to make 50 of the same pattern.

“Does your dog actually wear these?”
Let’s just say Loki has a larger bandana collection than most people have shirts. And he’s not even a year old yet!

We love the conversations we have with customers at our events. Some of you really keep us entertained!

What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard someone ask at a craft show?

Our scrunchie-style bandanas are easy to slip on and off, comfortable to wear, and reversible for two looks in one!
