The holiday market season has been going very well, for which I am so grateful to all of my new and returning customers!

I've been loading things into my online shop - here's a quick look at some of the things I've posted.

I've got several new things going on this Fall, from new items to new venues.

New items include double-layer cotton hoodies, like the one above, and my cashmere-lined mittens with leather added to the palm, seen below.

I've added two new venues to my list of places to sell my work: I now have an online shop, and you can access it by clicking on the "Online Store" button at the upper right side of this page.  I also joined Swift Waters Artisan's Cooperative in Willimantic, CT, where you can see the work of over 20 different artisans. Here's a link to their web page: http://swiftwaters.org/

It's festival and fair season, and you can click on my "Schedule" button to find me in person. Happy Fall!
