Handmade Holidays

Craft fair weekends tend to fly by in a blur. This weekend was just that: a blur. A festive, smiling, holiday-feeling weekend. I loved all the minutes of it.

The Clarksville Parks and Recreation hosted its third annual Handmade Holidays market in Clarksville, Tennessee. It gave me a chance to meet lots of people, sell my handmade items, and see the glowing faces that were going to enjoy their goodies as they marched off successfully with their newly-acquired treasures.


A few times some folks would express interest in an item, mention they would think about it, leave and then return to see it had sold. That's the tricky-and-awesome part of craft fairs. Everything is unique! Most everything is one-of-a-kind! But if you are one to hesitate because it my be considered a compulsive buy, you might miss out. I missed out on a ceramic spoon rest that I saw this morning. I stopped back by early this afternoon and it was already sold. You never know what you will find!


Thanks to all the behind-the-scenes workers who made for a successful craft fair this weekend! And thanks to all the other vendors I met who shared the same passion as I. And a special thanks to those who came with an understanding that what they saw were treasures, for those who supported craftsfolk and artisans. Your smiles and enjoyment keep me going.
