There were 35 very talented crafters at the event along with local not for profit agencies, rides, games, entertainment, and fireworks. All of the crafters shared a large tent, the patronage of the attendees, the wind that blew through the tent, and the mud beneath our feet as it had rained most of the previous week. While I would love to profile each and every crafter at the event I have decided to focus on two special ones whom we were very close to.
My husband and I find ourselves drawn to food at these shows. It's consumable, doesn't take up much space, and is tasty so it didn't take us long to check out Mrs. Claus Kitchen. Barbara was across the aisle from us. She makes the most delicious soup mixes and spice blends to be used as dips, salad toppers, spreads, and meat rubs! And, she doesn't use salt which I love because salt is not a good ingredient in my diet. Barbara does a lot of farmer's markets and craft shows, but if you don't find her at one you can always order from her website www.santasatticandkitchen.com. You can also follow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/santasattic.
Leaning Tree Designs has been in business for 10 years and an Etsy seller for 2 years. Carol makes the most beautiful pieces from semi-precious stones, crystals, silk cord, and silver. One look and you know that these items are of very high quality. Many of her designss are delicate and tastefully done (exactly my style). Her larger pieces give the look of a bulky piece without the weight. She has a wonderful eye for balance with each design. You can view and purchase Carol's designs at www.leaningtreedesigns.etsy.com.
*************************************************
My wrap bracelets are so popular at craft shows because of their versatility and many customers have wanted a necklace the length of the lanyards I make so I have created a new item called a Necklet.
A Necklet is a piece that can be worn as a necklace or a wrap bracelet.
They are 1/2" wide, simply slide over the head, or can be wrapped around the wrist 3 - 4 times,
and come in two lengths 23" & 32".
The two pictured are currently for sale in my Etsy Shop! Others will follow soon!!!

It's time to get our yard in order so we are taking a few weeks off from the craft show circuit. Our next event will be July 12 & 13 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Shaker Heritage Society, 25 Meeting House Road, Albany, NY. There is a $4.00 admission fee which benefits the Shaker Heritage Society, a little piece of history near the Albany Airport.
Until Next Time...
Diane
