The End Is Here!!

A Week in Craft

This past week has seen me travelling from one craft fair to another and getting a little “frayed” around the edges!  Next year I have already resolved to not do as many shows, but I am definitely sticking with my Vermont Hand Crafter’s Show at the Sheraton Conference Center in South Burlington, VT.   It is [...]

Vermont Hand Crafters Show

I wanted to let everyone know that this week-end is the 56th annual Vermont Hand Crafter’s Show at the Sheraton Conference Center in South Burlington, VT.  So, needless to say, I have not dropped off the face of the Earth – I am just in crunch time for the show!  In the last 4 days [...]

Buy Local!

When the toys we are giving to our children turn into Trojan horses full of toxic chemicals and lead paint, it is time for change!  When your toothpaste makes you sick, it is time for change!  When your apple juice makes you sick, it is time for change!
Yet change isn’t happening.
People in this country and [...]

New Ideas Abound!

WOW! I was so pleasantly surprised by my local craft fair this week-end at the Barre Auditorium.  I tend to do better at more high-end fairs and shows, so I was not expecting great results at my local craft fair.  I was mainly looking to meet old friends, network, and advertise my custom quilt work.

Dash to the Finish Line

Well, here it is.  My last craft fair for the year (I think!).  Today I get to set up and then, come Sunday, its all done.  The really great thing is that the craft fair is here in Barre, about 5 minutes tops from my home.  Because it is so convenient, I figured I would [...]
