The last Artist Market of the season will be this Saturday, October 20th from 9:00-2:30. I will have headbands and handbags in new fabrics as well padfolios, mini wallets, and magnets. In case you haven't heard, I also carry headbands for little girls now! As always, if we get lots of rain on Saturday the market will close.
It has been a wonderful season and although I am sorry to see it end, I am excited to be attending the following fall/winter shows:
Friday, October 26th & Saturday, October 27th---Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York
Saturday, November 10th---Founders School, Essex
Saturday November 24th & Sunday, November 25th---Women's Festival of Crafts, City Hall, Burlington
Saturday, December 8th & Sunday, December 9th---Holiday Artist Market, Firehouse Gallery, Burlington

Dance! Dance!

This coming Saturday, September 29th, some Artist Market vendors will be staying open until midnight! Burlington City Arts will be hosting a Dance Dance Marathon on the Firehouse Plaza from 4:00 to midnight. Myself and four other artists will be there selling our wares alongside some Burlington food vendors. The weather looks to be perfect, so make sure to stop by!

Hinesburg Farmers' Market

I was happy to be able to set up at the Hinesburg Farmers' Market yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful day for mid-September in Vermont (78 degrrees!) and lots of people were out to peruse the recent harvest.

Since the market is on a weekday, I have only been able to participate a few times this season. I love this market because everyone is so friendly and the food is fabulous. I grew up in Hinesburg so it is also fun to see many of the locals that are still around from my childhood.

I made some more crayon keepers this week and received a great response. I had made a batch at the beginning of the summer and kind of forgot how much fun they were! My focus this season has been on keeping up with the purse and headband demand.

I will be at the Art Market tomorrow with new headbands and a few crayon keepers, so be sure to stop by!

Art Market

Although the day started off a little rainy, we were able to set up a little later in the morning and have the market after all. I'm sure the cloudy skies attributed to the fact that it wasn't as busy as typical Saturdays in the park. Lots of new college students were checking out Burlington with their parents in preparation for the new school year. I was able to connect with a couple of customers regarding special orders to get ready for next week. Handbags and mini wallets were the hot items of the day! I'll be at the market next Saturday---be sure to stop in to say hello!
