Getting ready!

 


I have been busy working on a few things for the Italian Heritage Craft Fair on Nov 1st! The above framed cardinal svg is from Craft with Sarah!  Cardinals were my late mother in-law's favorite! So I had to make this to honor her!I love the colors!



The photo above is a teacup with flowers made from buttons! I want to make a few more of these- they are fun!
I wanted to make some candy holders for the fair! The Santa is an svg I got from Etsy! It opens
from the bottom. 
The Snowman is also from Etsy! I hope these are popular since they are fun to make!



These deer are a little different since they open from the side! I think they are cute!!



 I will end this post with my cardinal again!
My fingers are crossed hoping we have a good turnout at the fair! I will keep you posted!!



I had to add this guy! He is my favorite! It is the expression on his face! This SVG was from Etsy too! I think he looks devilish!

November 1st - Craft Fair 2025

 Well, we are getting ready for another craft fair!  This one is at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland, Maine on November 1st.  We have done this craft fair for many years and we are really looking forward to this event!  We did do a craft fair recently in Wells but didn't have the turnout we were hoping for- but it was still fun and we met a lot of nice people. 

The pictures below show some of the projects we have been working on for the Italian Heritage Fair. 


Something new for us is Jeweled Art!  We took old jewelry and made scenes from
the Jewelry!  It is alot of fun to do !


The items below are all lit by fairy lights! The Stars are hung on banana holders that are painted green!  It looks fabulous when they are all lit up!


The Star trees have 2 sets of Fairy lights.  So impressive when they are lighted up. 
The Angel in the front is from the Folded Book design.  Rochelle, my sister, did a fabulous job!




The Gnomes that you see below are also lighted with Fairy Lights! Each one has a different scene in their bellies!


This picture is more of a close-up of the stars!  



I am really looking forward to this Craft Fair at the Italian Heritage Center.  While the craft fair is 
going on - Members are making FABULOUS pastries in their kitchen!  The smell from the kitchen make me put on 5 lbs!  People line up early to get a chance to buy some of those pastries!  
All in all- it should be a well attended fun Fair!  

As I mentioned in my last post- hubby and I will not be going to Florida this year.  We are sad about that since we love going to North Port but it is not meant to be. It will be the first time in 8 years we have not driven to Florida for the winter.   My husband's treatments are going well and we are so thankful for that.  I am having hip replacement on Dec 9th.  I never thought I would say this but " I CAN'T WAIT"!!  It is hard to do anything when you are in pain.  It can't come soon enough!

Hope all is well with everyone reading this post!
