Holiday Craft Fair

Tori at Tarrytown Holiday Crafts Show

Hi to all.

Sorry it's been so long.  There hasn't been a lot to write about lately.  I have been winding down the holiday craft fairs and immersing myself in my own holiday plans.  The holiday craft fairs did not lived up to my expectations.  But disappointments are not always what they seem.

Albert Einstein failed his college entrance exam. Walt Disney was fired from his first media job. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Get it?  So I will continue on!

SOME INSPIRATIONS FROM ETSY ARTIST FOR 2012

Decoupage Bowl

Recycled Magazine ornament

Fantasy Children's sweater

These are a few of the items I found on Etsy from some of my favorite artists--there are now 800,000 shops on Etsy, incredible isn't it?  I have been writing this blog for a little over a year now,  The writing is easy compared with the daily battles with HTML!!  Thank you all for reading my blog and sticking with me.  I hope everyone has a happy holiday and a great 2013!!

I will see you next year!

Thanksgiving Craft Party

Hi to all,

In our family we have a long standing tradition of doing crafts at Thanksgiving.  Here we are working on holiday cards and wire bracelets; all crafted using recycled paper.   We used paper beads for the wire bracelets and tube beads for the cards.  You can check back to my September posts for a tutorial.  Here are some examples of what we made:

These handmade items would make great gifts for the holiday season.  You will see these and many more at the Holiday Craft Show in Tarrytown on December 1st.  It will be at the Reformed Church on N. Broadway from 11am until 5pm.  There will be refreshments and lots of local artisans there with great one of a kind gifts.  The show is put on by the Hudson Valley Crafts Collective.  It would be great to see you there.  Bring this blog and get 20% off your purchase at my table!



I will also have lots of glitzy glamorous jewelry for your holiday fashions.  Be sure to come see it.  All of the jewelry fashions are available on my Etsy site annemadethis, so please take a look.

Have a great week, check out my Etsy site and I will talk to you later!
