Another day...another fair..

So, yesterday (that would be 9-16-07) I ventured to the Start on the street fair with my mother in lovely Worcester, MA. Basically the event was sponsored by Craft magazine- need I say more??

Arriving as one of the first 400 visitors, my mother and I were greeting with a Newbury Comics bag stuffed with goodies from the fair...glass bead magnets, a FREE craft magazine, coupons from vendors at the show and more...

There were about 240 vendors selling anything from hand-made fashion (clothes, scarves, purses, recycled vintage clothes), photography, silkscreen, cards, soap, paintings...and more.

I purchased a lovely pin cushion for my mother and I..(see I do plan to sew..:)) from Elizabeth Brennick. She was a valuable source of information and made everything from pin cushions, wallets, baby items and clothing..so check her out...www.elizabethbrennickdesigns.com or at www.elizabethbrennick.etsy.com She donates part of her profits to children with cancer and she is really super nice.

I also purchased a lovely painting from a new artist named Rachel Lochner- It was her first show...and I purchased a pair of earrings made out of old computer parts from a fellow who does blacksmithing named Joshua Swalec (of Ferromorphics)...very cool.

So this brings me to the special section for you all....
