Memorial Day Craft Fair

Memorial Day weekend was beautiful! The weather could not have been better, the sun was shining, there was a cool breeze, and I was at the Coonamessett Farm on Cape Cod for the Fiber Festival. It was fun but not as well attended as many had hoped. There were a lot of people out looking, but not so much buying.




People behind me were giving spinning demonstrations, and one woman even brought in her bunny and showed how her yarn went from fur to fiber, it was very cool. Alpacas made an appearance, and there are two new baby sheep on the farm!


I sold a few items, many people love the bunny, the bumble bee, and the flower hats (I was going for a spring theme) but the exclaimation came over my hat and book sets.

As a children's librarian I am always trying to find a way to include books into a gift or whatever I do. So I started pairing up children's books and my hats. People loved the idea of putting together a book and hat, as they make great gifts, but I only sold one, as many people were just out for the day and not really buying. I hope this economy slump does not last for long! But all in all it was a nice weekend to be outside and meeting new crafters and fiber artists. I can't wait for the fall Craft Fair!
