When I go to Arts and Craft Fairs I am amazed at the talented people in this world! And right here in my community. I got a chance to go to TWO Craft Fairs last weekend!
First lets see what I didn't buy but really wanted! lol
The fairies!
I got to meet Susan Snodgrass and she is an amazing artist, creating fairies and mermaids out of porcelain.
I fell in love with every one of them!
The mermaid in the tea cup was very special.
But this one was my favorite!
(they were a little out of my price range but worth every penny!)
What I DID buy was a pretty quilt for my doll room.
Isn't it fun with all the cute little dresses appliqued on!
And 2 smaller square quilts (36" square) with hand embroidery.
I got to meet the quilt artists too and they were both amazing!
Of course a craft fair isn't complete without some clever finds and jewelry! What fun I had!
Something to be thankful for this week!
Have you been to a Fall festival yet?
I’m joining Thankful Thursdays and

...the patience that some folks have!
Such a variety of likes and styles. I am far more drawn to what you came home with, but I think my artist niece would enjoy seeing SS’s work.
I enjoy visiting craft fairs too. Those fairies are just beautiful and so much work goes into creating them. I like the items you bought. Have a great day and weekend.
How beautiful these fairies are! My favorite is the one leaning back in the cup right above the mermaid. The quilts are lovely too. I just love craft fairs. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
I love craft fairs but they seem to be few and far between these days. A few churches around here still hold them near the holidays. I love the quilt with the dresses!!
Me too! I really enjoy craft fairs. My daughter will be a vendor at one next week. She makes leather earrings and bracelets and they are amazing. I liked your doll quilt...what a find! and the wrapped pearl rings, oh they are pretty! I used to made those and recently wore some of mine. I wonder if I could still do it. I've a notion togive it a try. Is that a coin purse at the bottom of the collage? Such delightful things, I've enjoyed seeing your lovely things...have a good day!
no, I've not been to a craft fair this year. But, I do enjoy them. Love the cute little embordiered quilts.
Beautiful crafts! Your doll quilts are so sweet. I attended a fall festival at church and found a sign for my front door recently.
What fun! I just love the quilt you bought! 😊 Kit
That looks like so much fun. I haven;t been to any fall fairs this year. Love the Love the sweet quilt. xo Laura
I love craft fairs. Not too many these days. I love that little quilt with the appliqué clothing. Too cute.
WOW, the fairies and mermaids are amazing.
What is the little triangle find? I like the lighthouse fabric.
Those fairies and mermaids are amazing. The quilts are both cute.
I went to a craft show last weekend and we're going to a huge Christmas one this coming weekend.
I agree with Tom...patience and a passion and love for what they do shows through. I love the quilts and your "treasures"!
I have not been to any craft fairs in a long, long time but Art Crawl is coming up on November 2nd and I am hoping my knee will allow me to walk around the park and see all the artists! That quilt for your doll room is precious!
I have never even heard of this lady, Diane....but oh my goodness she sure makes beautiful things!! Love them. So glad you showed us. I love both the fairies and the mermaids. Our youngest daughter (fairy granddaughter's Mommy) loves mermaids, she would love these. Hope you post your new children's book you got....you and I ....well I think we are just "antique little girls" or something, ha ha ha lOL!!---the way we love children's books and our dolls!! ha ha LOL Do you have Fall dresses for all your dolls? I don't.....but their Christmas dresses and bows are ready and waiting!!!
PS.....love that pretty pearl ring!!!!!!!
What lovely new treasures you found--
looks like it was a really nice show--
luv, di
*sigh* Those fairies are so special. What talent Ms. Snodgrass has. Thanks for linking up and sharing this today.
Diane, I love all the dolls, mermaids and fairies. The little quilt is adorable too. I know you must have enjoyed yourself. Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo,love, Susie
we have been to several craft festivals this fall and i find i love everything. i too, am amazed at the talent people have and some are so very creative!! i have to refrain, i have too much stuff already and i am trying to get rid of meaningless stuff!! i usually buy a lot of christmas presents at the shows...and something for all the wonderful people in my life that service me!!
the quilts are gorgeous, what finds they are!!!
The fairies are fabulous and so are the sweet little quilts. I love your finds, too!
I couldn't help see the resemblance between Susan Snodgrass and her fairy and mermaid creations.
The gray, pearl ring, probably would of come with me!!! Just saying...
Love the quilts!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh my gosh, I want that purple fairy and the tea cup! It is so lovely. I love how the hair on the mermaids are so wavy and carefree hehe. What a talented artist this is. The quilt for your doll room is charming. It sounds like a fun day at the Fall Festival, and so many clever and creative things to see.
