On Sunday, I made it over to the Fireside Sale where several friends exhibit each year. Sadly, for a variety of reasons, there were only half as many vendors as usual.
The Garland Dancers, swinging in the holiday season.
Hand carved and hand painted thread spool Santa by Helen Gibson. They come in different sizes. To order your very own, just e-mail me. Helen does not have a web site, but I do have her phone number.
Beautiful porcelain pottery by Marsha Bugg.
Wonderful shaker oval boxes by Mr. Lenton Williams of Wattsville, Alabama. Please e-mail me for his contact info.
Hand forged hammers and tools by
Elmer Roush, a long time resident of the area. Elmer and his lovely wife, Linda, also do custom blacksmithing work such as gates and fencing. They are a very talented team.
And next up, lovely prints of local scenes. My dear friend
Suzy is incredibly gifted and I always enjoy seeing what she's been working on.
If you're seeking a distinctive gift for the man in your life, look no further.
Jim Craig had some of the finest pieces I've ever seen. Handles were made from exotic woods, deer antler, turquoise, and even dinosaur bone.
Bright colored pottery mugs and novelties by
Rob Withrow. Another long-time resident of the area, Rob is best known for his large hand turned pieces.
and last, but certainly not least, hand punched pictures, each unique and wonderful.
I hope you'll mark your 2015 calendar for the first Sunday in December in order to stop in next year and support the amazing talent this area is known for.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
