happy valley arts & crafts fair ... first annual ...

i would be remiss if i did not share some sentiments with you regarding the recent, first annual (hopefully) happy valley arts & crafts fair ...

how many years have i been thinking about having a craft fair on a grander scale ... too many ... and i finally met someone willing to take a chance with me, kim suver of the fabulous me & e line of clothing ... could there be a better partner? ...

let me start by saying how beautiful the valley was on a gorgeous december morning ... here's what i saw at 7:00 a.m. from the porch of the happy valley grange ...

and looking in the other direction ...

there was a higher hand at play here than my own i have to say ...

friday night set up allowed vendors an opportunity for a more relaxed start to a craft fair, well as relaxed as these things ever are ...

special thanks to alison cook for so kindly offering her advice to kim and i over the past few months and to the crafty person who knit and "yarn bombed" our happy valley sign on 202 ...

thank you to all the attendees who chose handmade goods ... and supported their local artists and crafters ...

and a heart felt thank you to all vendors who participated in the craft fair, it's been a heck of a ride but the first annual Happy Valley Arts & Crafts Fair was a smashing success ...

THANK YOU ...
