Wild Rose Farm Sneak Preview At Old Economy Village - 2015 Christmas At The Village!

Old Economy Village - Feast Hall Decorated For Christmas At The Village
Wild Rose Farm will be at the 2015 Christmas At The Village this weekend at Old Economy Village along with a great diverse group of vendors. The hours are Saturday 2PM to 9PM and Sunday 2PM to 9PM. Here is a sneak preview (cell phone pics!) of a couple of vendors who were in setting up Friday afternoon.

One of the vendors has a great selection of paintings, small ornaments, & primitive painted wooden cut outs. I love this reindeer scene!

Here's an unusual booth - Clean Creek Products. They are marketing products that use metals recovered in the acid mine drainage stream clean-up process. Proceeds go back to fund additional restoration efforts and to maintain existing treatment systems. Click on the image to check out the cool pottery wildlife & fish replicas!

Who else/what else did we see setting up? Some really nice, up-to-date crocheted hats, scarfs, finger-less gloves, & whimsical figures set up in the Feast Hall hallway. Patty of Pine Knoll Herb Shop was setting up in the Rapp House, and by extension, it follows that husband Dorrin, the resident Horologist of Pine Knoll Clock Shop, will be there (!) with clocks of his own design and perhaps some restored antique clocks. Miss Kitty was setting up her packed table of jellies, jams, & spreads. Kim will be there on Saturday with her detailed punch needle art. Birgitta of All Strings Considered will be set up next to Wild Rose Farm with her hand woven rugs & place mats. Those are just the folks close to the WRF set up in the Feast Hall & Museum Building ... there were vendor tags on tables for fused glass, jewelry, baked goods, & hand made wreath bows ...

A Day At The Harmony Fiber Arts Festival !

Harmony Fiver Arts Festival Shoppers In Stewart Hall
We had a great time yesterday at the 2015 Harmony Fiber Arts Festival & Market and had a chance to meet lots of new fiber friends.  It was an overcast, muggy day, but the visitors were out with their umbrellas enjoying "Springfest" in Harmony.  Wild Rose Farm was set up in Stewart Hall behind the Harmony Museum.  Thanks to the new ownership at recently renovated Harmony Inn for sponsoring a 10% meal discount to folks who made a $10 or more purchase at the fiber festival or other Harmony business yesterday!  We had at least 2 customers who said that they would take advantage of the deal for lunch.  I never got a chance to venture down to the 2nd group of vendors upstairs in the Center of Harmony building ... they were located above the Darn Yarn Needles & Thread Yarn Shop.  Lisa of DYNT was the energizer bunny behind organizing the fiber festival and working with the vendors.  Well done!

 Combed Top, Santa Beards, Washed Locks, & Troll Hair Display!
 If the hand-spinner who purchased the fleece from Dorset x Rambouillet #135 sees this post, send me an email ... I recently sent a shipment  of wool samples to Yocum-McColl in Denver for micron testing.  I would be happy to forward a copy of her micron test results when we get them back!  
This was a nice well run festival ... sign us up again for next year!  :~)
