I will be looking into it for next year. Lots of wonderful items for sale and some different ideas. As usual there were lots of different jewelry from beadwork, silverware, precious gems, and hemp. Also lots of hats, scarves, and gloves.Crocheted, knit, and sewn kitchenware, baby items,quilts, melted bottles, lighted glassware, ceramics,photography and woodworking. There were some food items, and candles and soaps. Overall a good mix of products.
