Little Drummer Craft Fair - Saturday, Nov 19

I have been crafting some new creations for the Little Drummer Craft Fair at the Franklin County Technical School in Turners Falls, MA on Saturday, November 19th from 9 am - 4 pm. 

This is THE place to be on Saturday if you want to go to a really awesome craft fair with a great selection of incredible crafts to chose from!  Many of the crafters are from the previous Candy Cane Carnival in Greenfield so you know many of us from there.

This is an indoor craft fair with plenty of free parking.  Admission to the craft fair is also free.

Crafts include knitted and other fiber arts, quilts, woodworking and carved products, painting, lotions and salves, lav...ender products, herbal crafts, soaps, word bricks, candles, dried floral, fudge, jams & condiments, gifts for your pets, handbags, jewelry, greeting cards and other paper crafts, felted bags and soft toys, and much more!

There will also be raffles, refreshments courtesy of FCTS culinary students, and a bake sale. Look for your favorite Candy Cane Carnival Craft Fair vendors and artists at the Little Drummer Craft Fair!

I hope to see you there!

Blueberry Needle Felted Coasters

Two weeks ago, I did a craft fair at the Blueberry Festival in West Dover, VT.  I wanted to make a couple of special "blueberry" items to go along with the theme for the craft fair. 

 

I like the way these coasters turned out so much that I decided to make some more of them up to offer at the rest of my summer craft fairs (perhaps at my fall events too).

The blueberries are needle felted using dyed wool fleece from local sheep in our town.  I embroidered a little on the blueberries and also around the edges of the coaster to make them pop even more.  These would look great in any decor.  I have a coaster that I made on my desk at the office so I don't leave wet rings on my desk with my water bottle.  I just love them.  They look very elegant just sitting on a table or a desk when you are not using them too!

Ribbon Roses

I have been creating a new line of flowers for different projects at my craft fairs.  I hope you love roses, because I sure have a bunch of them coming.  They are made from fabric and also from ribbon.  Here is a sample of a yellow rose I made out of ribbon.

 

I also have a beauful rose colored ribbon that I made this flower from...

 

Be sure to check out my latest creations at my upcoming craft fairs and events.

You can also contact me to find out more about purchasing any of the items I make.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,

Flower Hair Accessories

Some of my most popular items at my craft fairs are my hand-sewn flower accessories. It is hard to believe that I displayed my first fabric flower item one year ago today!

 

 

 

I sell these flower accessories all year round.  If you are interested in purchasing them, you can either contact me by EMAIL or visit me at any of my upcoming craft fairs and events.

Candy Cane Carnival, Holy Trinity School, Greenfield, MA

This weekend was the Candy Cane Carnival over at the Holy Trinity School in Greenfield, MA.  What a fun craft fair and event they put on.  There are tons of people attending and two full floors of craft booths to visit.

Here are a few photos of what I was offering at my booth:

 

If you missed out on something you wanted to get or if I didn't have something this year that you saw last year, just email me to place your order.  I can ship your items anywhere you would like or you can pick them up from me in person.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by to visit.  I really enjoy this craft fair and meeting all of you in person.  I was very happy to see many of you from last year stop back and visit me again this year.  I truly appreciate your support and your business.

Craft Fair and Event Schedule and Offerings

I thought I would update you on the events that I have coming up over the next couple of weeks and show you some of my new offerings.

Tomorrow (Sunday, October 4), I will be at the Wilmington Antique and Flea Market.  I will also be there on Saturday and Sunday of Columbus Day weekend.

Saturday, October 17 - you can find me at the Townshend Pumpkin Festival in Townshend, VT

Saturday, October 24 - I will be at the Gilfeather Turnip Festival in Wardsboro, VT inside the Town Hall.

Some of my new offerings include packaged jewelry, altered scarves and Dress Me Up tins.

 

This is what the cover of one of my Dress Me Up tins looks like.  When you open up the tin, you will find...

 

...a little bear waiting to be dressed and a grouping of clothes to dress her up in.  This little tin would make a great gift for a child's birthday, for the holidays or as a stocking stuffer.  All of the clothing and the bear inside the tin are magnetized so you can dress your bear up any way you like.  You can then undress her and change her outfit.  How cute is that?!

Another nice gift idea would be one of my Softer than Cashmere scarves with fabric embellishments.  I offer these in a variety of colors and embellishments.  

 

The sample shown her is an ivory colored scarf with a faux croc patterned embellishment on the front.  These scarves can be washed and hung to dry for use over and over again.  They are soft, cozy and warm.  Get one for yourself and give one as a gift.  

You can visit me at my upcoming events to purchase these items or you can contact me by email to purchase them online.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you at one of my events!
