Holiday Craft Shows

This will be a huge Craft Show. You'll be able to do almost all your Christmas shopping here. These are all local vendors with quality handcrafted items. The coordinator is very particular about her choice of vendors. This is a 2 day event but the major traffic is on the first day. Some shops almost sell out on the first day!! I try to bring a large quantity of "best sellers". My OOAK usually go fast.

Remember; you can always order and have these items sent. I can add your message on a MsKarenny Postcard.

Mohawk Valley Community Center 1101 Sherman Drive, Utica This Link will take you to google maps.

                                                             Hope to see you there!

 The Holiday Season is fast approaching.....again. Have been very busy sewing and participating in Shows. Had another successful show in Utica, New York for the Indie Garage Sale. Better know as IGS. I've applied to their Holiday show and hope to be chosen. It's in the Union Train/Bus Station in Utica. It's so pretty there, the city decorates the station and with the Polar Express leaving for it's trip to the North Pole, the entire atmosphere is very festive. There will be so many vendors, you can do your entire Christmas shopping here!

This event will take place on December 8 & 9         321 Main Street Utica.

I'm also planning on attending the 9th Annual Taste Of  Home Cooking Show at Turning Stone Resort and Casino on November 1st from 4 to 7. I've been working on themed products

 

Microwave Potato Bag

Which can be used for corn and to warm rolls. I just recently ordered bread and corn fabric. Can't wait till it arrives. These 10 x 10 bags are 100% cotton and machine washable, please use gentle cycle.

 

 

Then there's the casserole cover. Many are food themed fabrics. This was a special order for a dear friend. I think I'll make some Christmas/Winter themed ones also.

 

I'm hoping to come up with more ideas....do you have any suggestions?
