Strawberry Festival & Craft Market

June 14th, 2025
10am - 4pm
South Bay Grange

The festival has been an annual tradition at the South Bay Grange since 1936!  Delicious locally grown Spooner Farms strawberries and shortcake make an unbeatable combination.  There will be family friendly activities and entertainment by local musicians.

I will be one of the local vendors participating in this annual event.  I have added a few new items to my inventory, so come see what I've got!  Bring the kids and enjoy the fun!


A Sale For All Seasons

October 3rd & 4th

I will be participating in this fall craft fair again.  It has a lengthy history with a loyal fan base.  There are only 12 vendors in this blended show (we do not have separate booths).  Be sure to come check it out this year!


Winterfest

This will be my first time at this Holiday Market!  I will have my usual inventory, plus items specific to the Christmas season.  Hope to see you there!

Previous Artisan Markets

December 7th, 2024 was The Firs Holiday Bazaar where I had a double-booth with my sister Judi.  It was a bit of a slow day with several other bazaars occurring at the same time in the area.  I also had some of my merchandise at the Littlerock Winterfest on that same day at my sister Krista's booth, and we had her caramel corn at ours.  It was a busy bazaar day!


The first weekend in October was A Sale For All Seasons in Olympia.  This craft show is small and juried (only 12 vendors!) with a loyal customer base.  This was my first time involved with this show, and it went really well.  I didn't have a very large assortment of merchandise, but I was pleased with the venue and my sales.  Even though it conflicts with an annual retreat I have attended for many years, it still worked out well for me to "be in two places at once" due to the blended show model (the vendors do not have separate booths), and I hope to do it again next year!  


May 11th, 2024 was the Spring Fling Bazaar at The Firs Senior Living Residence.  It was small and intimate, but it was a fun first annual event!  I enjoyed talking to the residents and getting to know a few other vendors.  I didn't expect to sell much, but I actually did sell several items!  The residents seemed to really enjoy the event, and I got to meet a few people in our local community as well.  I will definitely participate next year if they do this again.
