Where to find me:


Buy locally and support Maine's small businesses. To state the obvious, I am not the only crafter selling at the markets and fairs where can be found unique and well made items. I have bought and will continue to buy Christmas gifts from my fellow vendors, discovering I now think twice about giving my money to the big guys when well made and one-of-a-kind goodies can be found in my own backyard.

This holiday season I am selling weekly at two markets and am venturing out into the world of the craft fair.

Here are the wheres and whens .

Back in Brunswick!

The start of the Brunswick Winter Market heralds the approach of the holiday season and Zoe and I are back, catching up with our winter customers and fellow vendors. This market has grown! From the original 13 founding members of last January, the vendors now add up to over 40 with farmers, crafters and live music. It is THE place to be on a Saturday morning. The building management has added tables and chairs so friends and families can take a break to enjoy the music, each other’s company and feast on the variety of ready-to-eat goodies available each Saturday. Thanks to the management a banner has taken it’s place outside Fort Andross to tell the world we are back and we are ready.

I’m sewing like crazy to build up my stock of aprons for two holiday fairs (the Annual NYA Holiday Craft Fair on December 5th and the Picnic Holiday Sale in Portland the following Saturday). Because I have no idea of what to expect and dread the thought of not having enough aprons to sell, I will keep up the production until it’s time to pack up and go.

Exciting fabric keeps showing up and I keep on sewing. There is nothing like the new to keep me leaping from apron to apron. I sure have a lot of ‘em hanging around my sewing room.

Hope you see you soon, you know where you can find me…..
