Enough of this arctic winter weather - let's flash forward to spring!! My new Hen House Ornament makes me think about warm weather with chickens softly clucking and scratching in the dirt for something interesting to eat. It's an incredible amount of work to make, but ohhhh, it's such a cutey!!!

Once again Dan’s workmanship shines!!!

Tomorrow (10-4) snd Sunday (9-4) is the Society of So ME Craftsmen Craft Fair at Scarborough High School. This is a free admission, juried event with some spectacular handcrafted products. Be sure to stop by - I’m located in the cafeteria. I try to have a new product at each fair. Aren’t these turned hardwood planters ADORABLE?!?

Two of my favorite fairs! The Society of So Maine Crafters’ fair at Mt Ararat High School in Topsham, ME is this Saturday & Sunday and on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving there will be a fair at Scarborough High School. Both shows are juried, wonderful places to find incredible handcrafted products! And there’s no admission charge! You have lots of options for craft fairs this time of year, but be sure to add these two events to your hit list … you won’t be disappointed!!

When I was so excited about my cat Funkyville piece and showing it to Dan, I turned around and there was one of my dogs just staring at me.
