I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! Please join me at my farmers markets from now through October. I will be at Central Park in Brandon on Fridays 9-2 and in Depot Park in Rutland on Saturdays from 9-2. I should be there most days unless it is raining or if I have another show planned. See my 2009 Show Schedule for those dates. Come out and support your local farmers, specialty food producers, artists, and craftspeople. The markets have been fantastic so far!
I will be at the Queen City Craft Bazaar once again for the 2009 Spring edition! It is happening on Saturday, May 9, 2009 from 10 am until 5 pm at 1 Main Street in Burlington, Vermont. I will be on the lower level, but please be sure to visit everyone on the top floor too. There are 45 awesome indie crafters participating this time. To find out more, visit the Queen City Craft website. To see a full list of vendors, click here. See you there!
I will be a vendor at the beCAUSE Craft Show on March 21st. I will be donating a portion of my profits to the Rutland County Humane Society. To see a full list of vendors and their charities, click here. We hope to see you all there!
Happy Spring!
beCAUSE Update:
Thank you to all of the terrific people who purchased something at my booth during the sale! Because of you, I was able to donate $225 to the Rutland County Humane Society! If you are looking for a pet, please be sure to visit this wonderful organization. Also, thanks to PJ and Barry who did a perfect job organizing this great show! See you there next year!
I have my work at two new stores this week. One is Sweet Cecily on Main Street in Middlebury. It is a great little store with all kinds of unique gifts for everyone. You’ll know it when you see the colorful toasters displayed in the front window! The other is Gallery at the Vault in Springfield, Vermont.
I have had a busy week visiting my galleries to deliver new pieces, especially heart pins for Valentine’s Day. There is lots of new work at Frog Hollow in Burlington, the Timco Gallery in Rutland, and the Brandon Artists Guild. I will also be mailing a few more things to the Silver Spoon at the Depot Street Gallery in Ludow tomorrow morning. Valentine’s Day is in one week and now would be a good time to get to one of these places and pick up a nice gift for your sweetie.
Also, for the whole month of February, the Brandon Artists Guild is featuring an excellent student art show. The BAG supports art programs in local schools and it is evident here. I was in there this afternoon during the reception and the place was hopping with proud students, their parents, and guild members!
I hope everyone is having a good winter! See you soon! Stacie
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!
Come visit me at the Show. It is taking place at the Sheraton in South Burlington November 20-23.
The hours are as follows:
Thursday 12-8
Friday 10-8
Saturday 10-6
Sunday 10-5
See you there!
I have been accepted as a member of Vermont Hand Crafters! I will now be participating in the exciting four day show at the Sheraton in South Burlington. It is happening Thursday-Sunday of the week before Thanksgiving. I am so excited about this! I will be there with a great selection of zipper pins and barrettes as well as some new items such as pendants, earrings, boxes, and clocks. Come visit me and all of the other great Vermont artisans who will be selling their high-quality, handmade work!
Also, check out my newly updated list of shows that I will be at this year. In addition to the zipper work, see all of my other innovative and recycled crafts which include melted record bowls, record bracelets, knitting needle bangles, cork key chains, bottle cap frames and jewelry, shinky-dink earrings, beaded jewelry, cell phone and zipper charms, book clips, sun catchers, wallets, dish soap aprons, melted bead pins and much, much more all handmade by me. I will also have an awesome display of Mom’s bright and colorful pot holders and bibs. She has been sewing up a storm! I have a ton of inexpensive items which make fantastic stocking stuffers and gifts for the holidays!
Some other great news is that I am now accepting all credit cards at all of the shows and markets. Hopefully that will make shopping a little bit more convenient for everyone.
Until then, if you would like to place a special order you can get in touch with me any time by clicking the contact button at the top of the page to send me a message. Hope to see all of you soon and have a great fall and holiday season!
I was on the WCAX Channel 3 News last night for a ‘Made in Vermont’ report. Click here to see me making my zipper pins.
