Twin Peaks Orchards Celebrating 100 Years of Tree Ripened Fruit

This event yesterday was so fun!  They had delicious food, nice local wine and beer, music was delightful...so much to do and see! The orchard is beautiful.  The packing shed was full of fresh fruit to taste - sorry, I forgot to take a photo to that...

Here is my vendor neighbor Cindy Siepert of Feather Weight Machine Maintenance.  She had wonderful vintage sewing machines.

 
Look at these two lovely sewing machines.  She has tons more too.  Such fun!









Across from my booth was Lyndsay Teragawa of Simply Charmed.  She makes beautiful jewelry.  I bought a bookmark to give as a gift - it's so cute!

Here's my booth - it's a work in progress...always changing.  I backed up to a shed which gave me great shade.  The morning was so nice - did get a bit hot by afternoon time...

  

The music was provided by the Stardust Cowboys.  They were so good! My booth was in a perfect location to enjoy them all day long. 

Another vendor in our area of the orchard was Red Barn Roasting.  They roast delicious coffee.  This nice family is from Penryn and now part of our farmer's market association. Welcome! 

Vicky and her family were there enjoying the festivities.  Tables and chairs were placed all around in the shade for the visitors.  It was great!  See ya in the Fall for Twin Peaks Orchard's next event.

Sacramento Antique Faire

Do you like antiques, vintage and collectibles? I sure do! That's why I signed up to be a vendor this Sunday, November 13th at the Sacramento Antique Faire. It's held under the freeway in midtown Sacramento on 21st Street between W and X Streets. Always held on the second Sunday of the month rain or shine. It's a huge event with free parking and only $3 admission.

The outdoor marketplace starts at 6:30am - yes, I did say 6:30am! Goes till 3pm. So there's plenty of time to walk around the two full parking lots to see all the great treasures! I'm scheduled to be in Lot 1, space B-12 (but have asked to move to a covered spot if one opens up). Hope to see your there!

Christmas Faire

We just completed the 36th Annual Friends of the Loomis Library Christmas Faire. It was awesome how the local community came out to support this great fundraiser for our library! Had a booth with some of my upcycled vintage linens and handcrafted items for sale.

My friends Coleen with her adorable knitted kid hats and Kathy with her cool repurposed sweater beanies also had booths - wish I had pictures to show you. Ok, next time... I did manage to take a few photos of my booth.

I ran into old friends and made some new ones! This was my last craft show for 2010 and must say I had so much fun! Now it's time to get ready for Christmas...
