innovative crafts
I will be at the Queen City Craft Bazaar on Saturday, May 8th from 10-5. The Spring edition will be held once again at 1 Main Street in Burlington, Vermont. This is Vermont’s only indie craft show, featuring 44 of the states most unique artists, designers, and crafters! There is no admission fee and the parking is also free! August First will also be at the bazaar selling baked goods and beverages! Yum! Be sure to become a fan of Queen City Craft on Facebook! Save the date!
On March 20th, I participated in the beCAUSE Craft Show at St. Michael’s College in Colchester. In order to be a vendor, each artist or crafter had to give a portion of their profits to the charity of their choice. I ended up raising $130 for the Rutland County Humane Society! It was a great day! Thanks to everyone that came out to support all of the vendors and their charities!
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!
