My goal for tomorrow is to sell out of product.

So, if you’re coming to the Holiday Market stop by the booth and check out the deals and discounts happening so I can find everything a home while I bring nothing back to mine.

You’ll make my Christmas the brightest (and my husband’s the merriest) if we have less to store in our garage. (And it’ll give me permission to make new stuff.)

Think buy one, get one half off or an automatic $5 off the original price. Or “make me an offer.”

Let’s find everything a home!

Green glass bottle decorated with various cords, two free ornaments passed my way, and a curated selection of fake flowers. The bottle is filled with clear beads and battery-operated string lights. Makes for a beautiful shelf piece.

Gently used books wrapped and ready to read.
A book lovers surprise is inside.
No title. No author. Just a snappy description to catch your attention and see if you dare give the surprise book a chance.
Perfect for avid readers and book lovers and people who want to give a used book a longer shelf life.

i’ve taken gently used and read books, wrapped them in craft paper, and hidden their titles for a “blind date” with a book for the avid reader. They’re beautifully wrapped and ready to be gifted. Their tag comes with a headline and short description of the book without giving the title, author, or genre away. Kids love those mystery packs they can get of keychains and rubber ducks and tiny Funco pops because of the surprise inside. This is that for adult book lovers.

Rescued this small wood frame from a craft bin of unused materials at a family friend’s place along with the gold trim, the vintage card that makes up the scene in the back, the teeny string lights, and the miniature toys and presents. All together you get a beautiful shadow box featuring Santa perfect for a shelf, mantle, book case, or window sill.

Before and after.

These beautiful real birch wood candlesticks were cut and ready for candles when I found them inside a bin at a loved one’s house. They were destined to be decorated but she never got around to it like many planned projects she would have made gorgeous.

So I’ve picked up the proverbial torch and finished these on her behalf. They’ll be for sale at this weekend’s Holiday Market at Champlain Valley Expo (Sat & Sun 10-5).

Keep your eyes peeled here for more photos of
other creations that will be available for sale this weekend.
