Getting Ready for Holiday Events

I've been painting and crafting up a storm this week in preparation for some upcoming local events that I'll be participating in...


The first event is the 3rd Annual Artisans/Crafters Fair at The Preserve at Jordan Lake (Chapel Hill) where my friend and fellow vendor Shirley from Housepitality Designs lives.  The fair runs 10am-3pm this Saturday (November 10th) at the Clubhouse located at 840 The Preserve Trail, Chapel Hill.
I'll be selling painted furniture, jewelry, fall cotton centerpieces, as well as some Christmas items that I've been working on like these fun little moss topiary trees...
 and just a few wreaths...
I've been working on new batches of wax seal pendants as well...
and I'll also have plenty of my typewriter key pendants, letter bubble necklaces...

 as well as some new creations like these long icicle glass pendants made from chandelier parts...
And since I recently found this perfectly-sized round dough bowl on my shopping excursion in Greensboro, I'll be selling my large rectangular dough bowl now...can't keep both!
My mom will also be there selling some of her beautiful pillows and these table runners that she's hand-sewn...
This is just a sampling of the goods that will be there.  I hope you'll join us this Saturday!

  2. Good luck - your items are lovely. I wish I was just a bit closer so I could attend. In this part of SC we do not have these types of fairs. Just craft shows.
