Winter Fiber Fest - February 19th

Come visit me in Ithaca!

Roseland Cottage Fine Art and Craft Festival

Back in February, when life was much quieter, I thought it might be fun to go to a craft show out of state.  The Roseland Cottage Fine Art and Craft Festival caught my eye with the thoughts of fall color dancing in my head and the church dinner scheduled on Saturday night.  Sounded ideal.  And I hope it will be.  I have been working quite hard to bump up my stock and even obtained a Connecticut tax number.  Doing new shows is a bit like dating, although I haven't done that for years, you don't really quite know what you are getting into.  But nothing ventured nothing gained. So I am almost ready to pack the car!  On my way to Connecicut!

Plowshares Craftsfair

Next up for East Street Tins and the holiday season is the 

Syracuse Plowshares Craftsfair.  

This is a new show for me this year, I have been and was impressed by the diversity of vendors.  This will take place at Nottingham High School in Syracuse the first weekend of December.  Come on out for a great show! Here's the link: http://www.peacecouncil.net/plowshares

 

River City Festival

This weekend I am heading to Philadelphia to participate in a craft show/ festival with my son.

Check out his work at www.siometalworks.com.  Some pretty cool things!

And the festival is   Fishtown River City Festival Saturday afternoon.

 

At the Chicks Along the Canal Craft Show in Little Falls NY yesterday.  This is Christy Lemp, who shared a booth with me.  She is a fine watercolorist.  The next time we will be together will be at the Clothesline Show in Rochester NY in early September. Here's a link to her blog:

Thanks to all who came out to visit us at Plantasia at Baltimore Woods this weekend.

I had to share pictures from the Lavender Festival.  You can see from the last one what my view was.  It was delicious smelling!

I have been doing all of the final touches for the Finger Lakes Lavender Festival this week.  Every thing is priced.  I have worked out some new ways to display my wares working with hardware cloth, a  bench, a stool, and an apple crate.  I want to keep within the parameters of the recycling theme.

The festival is on Saturday and Sunday 9-5.  Come visit.

Today I worked on a sign for my booth in next weekend's upcoming Lavender Festival.  The brass stencil letters were given to me by a friend clearing out things and I think they work well.  I layered them on a cookie tin stretched out flat and nailed them to a piece of driftwood.  A total recycled effort!
