Every year, upon our arrival here, we organize a private Art
and Crafts Show. We call it the Show and Tell and Maybe Sell Show as the main
purpose is to show the off the work of the talented people in our small park.
It also allows the crafters to meet and connect.
Now it never draws everyone that crafts here, but it does
draw out enough to make it a fun time. For us it kind of a practice set up for
our big show next month. It also allows us to show our friends our work and we
do sell a little.
This year we had several new people! Joe set up a neat
display of his old glass outdoor lights and his unique earrings, (made from gar
scales and the inner ear bones of redfish! Kathy also set up a table displaying
her knitting projects and blouses.
Pat of course showed her quilting and all the baby blanket
quilts she had made in the past year. Jim demonstrated wire wrapping, (we
taught him), and he made a beautiful set that I am not going to show or tell as
they are destined to be gifts.
Diane also displayed her unique Christmas light bottles, her
knitting scarfs, and some really pretty beaded bracelets. As usual we didn’t do
much advertising and so we had a small crowd, but it was enough to keep busy as
we explained what we do.
Oh and Joe and his gar scale earrings, he was the hit of the
show and sold out! Thank you to all the crafters and to the people that viewed
everyone’s work. Thanks also to Blue Lagoons for allowing us to let us show.
