It was great meeting new customers and seeing those of you who came back to visit my booth again this year at the Shippensburg Corn Festival. The rain held off for most of the day and it was a great weather day for shopping the artists and crafters. Thank you for all of your kind comments and purchases. I hope you are enjoying my artwork!

I’ll be at another great arts festival Saturday September 14th in Hummelstown PA. This will be my second time participating in this spectacular Arts Festival. Over 150 artists line Main Street in historic Hummelstown for this festival each year. Come check out their 42nd year from 9:00 to 4:00. It’s another don’t miss craft festival!

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about the holidays and putting together gift lists already! Come visit me at the 43rd Annual Shippensburg Corn Festival this Saturday August 31st starting at 8:00. There will be 250 food, crafters, and artists lining King Street giving you all kinds of options for holiday gift buying. You don’t want to miss this great Festival!

Shippensburg Corn Festival always the last Saturday in August

UPDATE! I put the wrong month on my post. It’s August 31st.

I’m heading off to Shippensburg for the second year participating in the Shippensburg Corn Festival. It was a great show last year with lots of talented artists, crafters and food. There will be over 250 participants this year. The Festival is Saturday August 31st from 8:00 to 4:00. You don’t want to miss this great festival.

Thank you to all of you for stopping by my tent on Saturday at Mt Gretna. I appreciate your willingness to not let the weather keep you away. I hope you are enjoying all of your artwork!

I want to let anyone planning on attending the My Gretna Craft Market on Sunday August 18th know that I will not be at the show on Sunday. Due to the treacherous weather forecast, all the vendors were given the option to dismantle their booth after Saturday’s show. I have chosen to do that given the delicate nature of my artwork and the expected severity of the storms on Sunday. I’m sorry if I will be missing you if you planned to attend on Sunday. I want to also thank all of my customers today who purchased my artwork. I appreciate you all coming to the craft show especially given the rainy conditions today. I hope you are enjoying your purchases.

I’m excited to be returning for the second year to this awesome festival! Mark your calendars. It’s a great festival!

See you at the Mt Gretna Craft Market this Saturday and Sunday August 17th from 9:00 to 6:00 and August 18th from 9:00 to 5:00. It’s my first event this year where I’ll be displaying my Christmas season artwork. It’s never too early to begin your Christmas gift buying.

I’m excited to be participating in the Mt Gretna Craft Market on the grounds of the historic Mt Gretna Park Saturday August 17th from 9:00 to 6:00 and Sunday August 18th from 9:00 to 5:00. I’ve been working furiously to create beautiful pieces for all of you to see. Please note there are two craft shows going on in Mt Gretna the same day so you will have double the arts and crafts to enjoy in Mt Gretna. It’s a great opportunity to get your Christmas shopping done early. I am participating in the Craft Market in the Mt Gretna Park by the roller skating rink. The Chautauqua Arts Center is also having their fine arts show in their facility as well with an admission fee. So you have double the shopping fun!

See you at the Hummelstown Arts Festival. It’s my second year as an artisan at this fun festival!

I have a busy August coming up so my workshop is my home right now. Here are some pieces I will be bringing to the Mt Gretna Craft Market August 17th and 18th. Then I will be at the Shippensburg Corn Festival August 31st for the second time. Stay cool!🌬️

It was an early morning but I’m all set up for the Mechanicsburg Jubilee Day. Main Street is lined with over 325 food, community organizations, and crafters for everyone to enjoy. Come and enjoy some good food, entertainment, and shopping. And a special thank you to my husband for getting an early morning start with me to help me set up for the event. ❤️

While the rest of the Lehigh Valley is sweating it out in a heat wave, my hands are frosty in the workshop. I’m getting ready for the holidays, but I’ll be bringing my spring and summer artwork to Mechanicsburg Jubilee Day this Thursday June 20th from 10:00 to 9:00. Come and enjoy 325 vendors in the streets of Mechanicsburg!

It may be a balmy summer day, but in my workshop it’s 30 degrees and snowing. And I think I hear sleigh bells in the distance. I’m probably the only one thinking about Christmas right now, but I’ve got some new craft festivals coming up in the fall and I am working on artwork for the holidays. In the meantime, my next craft festival is the Mechanicsburg Jubilee Day on June 20th from 10:00 to 9:00. I’m a first time participant in this street fair and I’ll be one of 325 vendors. I’ll see you there.

I am preparing for my next arts festival. It’s been an active last few weeks in my workshop as I am gearing up to be a first time artisan at Mechanicsburg’s Jubilee Day on Thursday June 20th from 10:00 to 9:00. It is the longest running street fair in the East Coast with over 325 vendors participating offering food, games, entertainment, and arts and crafts. It’s the 94th year of the festival. Here are some of my latest creations from the workshop.
