I am announcing my first show of 2010. I will be at the beCAUSE craft show! It is happening on March 20th from 9:30-4:30 at the St. Michael’s College Gymnasium. There will be over 50 vendors selling locally made crafts and handcrafted fair trade items from around the world. Each vendor will be donating a portion of their profits to a charity of their choice. I will be donating 50% of my profits for the day to the Rutland County Humane Society. Come out and beat the winter blahs! Hope to see you there!
On November 19-22 this year, I participated in the Vermont Hand Crafters show, CRAFT VERMONT, at the Sheraton in South Burlington. It was a great show once again this year! Thanks to everyone who came out check out the zippers! I enjoyed meeting everyone and I appreciate all of the nice comments you gave me! If you purchased a zipper piece for the first time, or if you are a repeat customer, THANK YOU so much! I love my job and I couldn’t do it without your support!
I was on the WCAX news this Tuesday, although not for the best of reasons. Frog Hollow in Middlebury is closing this weekend. The Burlington store will remain open and as well as the Frog Hollow web store. You can purchase my heart pins through the Frog Hollow site. The Middlebury and Burlington stores are holding a sale through Saturday, January 30th. Everything will be 10% off. It is worth the trip to check out, and hopefully purchase some of the best quality work in Vermont. You can watch the news story here.
I was featured in a Rutland Herald article this past Sunday called ‘Trash to Treasure‘ about artists who recycle. Check it out!
The Vermont Hand Crafters show went great. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to look, say hi, or buy something. I had so much fun even though it was long and crazy! I would do it again in a second. See you there next year!
I also have work in a new gallery this week. Steven Manning of the Depot Street Gallery and The Silver Spoon in Ludlow has taken a whole bunch of my zipper designs to sell at his store. He makes the coolest art and jewelry out of recycled silver utensils. Go visit him in Ludlow!
I also brought new stuff to Art on Main in Bristol yesterday and I am sending a huge box to Artisans Hand in Montpelier tomorrow.
I still have five more shows before Christmas, the next being Friday and Saturday of this week in Poultney for the Vermont Farmers Market. Think about shopping locally and handmade this year for the holidays. We all appreciate it and so won’t the recipients of your gifts!
Have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving this week. Gobble Gobble!
