Well, it was our first in person show in our area in 18 months. And I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, nearly everyone wore a mask. There was lots of social distance between people as well.
The weather was beautiful. People were happy. And there was lots of squishing of yarn happening.
So thank you for coming out if you did. If you didn’t come out this time, think about it for next time!
Of course if you are local, you can come by during our farm chick studio weekends. Our next open studio is October 30th. We’ll be open from 11-4.
On Saturday our first in-person fiber festival goes live! Yes, it’s in-person. The show is Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival. It’s at the Clark County fairgrounds. You can find out more information here.
I’m super excited so see people and to be in the presence of unbridled creativity!
I’m nervous because we haven’t set up the booth in 2 years…will we remember? Will it actually be better?
I’m a little scared too. Will people wear masks and be safe? How can we provide a safe place for our customers?
So many emotions!
I know you must be feeling these things too. I also hope you are feeling excite to touch all the yarn and see all the colors.
We are in the Arts and Crafts Building. We are right by the front door. To keep us and you safe, we will be wearing our masks. We will be bringing a fan so there is more air circulation and less opportunity for the virus to transmit. The festival is from 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday.
Please do come out for a beautiful fall day! It’s supposed to be just gorgeous weather that day. I’m want this weekend to be a real celebration! Be sure to stop by and show us anything you’ve made with our yarn or fiber. We love seeing all your fantastic creativity on display!!
How are you feeling? Are you continuing to knit or crochet or spin? Are you making way through your collection? Are you excited about the possibility of seeing some great yarn and roving and pottery and buttons this weekend?
This weekend, really starting tomorrow, Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival is going to a virtual show. I am grateful that the festival organizers have taken on this new world of virtual festivals. I am grateful for the teachers who will teach on zoom. I’m grateful to all the shoppers who are supporting us. So I hope that you will be able to come out and see what we have for you this weekend.
This festival is on a new platform called Eventeny. Here is the link to the festival page. That platform is much like ETSY. You as a shopper will be able to fill your cart with items from many different vendors all in one place. I had to make a decision about this platform. I made the decision to not migrate my whole webstore to this platform. I have put my special collections there. Click here to see our page. You can find much of my Autumn collection, Viral collection and my new colorway in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
BUT, I do want to give you a perk for buying from my webstore this weekend. You can use the code SVFF on my website only, for free first class shipping on your purchases. This coupon code is active now and it will expire 9:30am on 9/30. There you will find all our yarn and roving and kits and swag.
I will also be doing Facebook Live sessions at the following times (click here to watch):
Friday 10am and 5pm
Saturday 11am and 4pm
Sunday 9am.
I hope that I will see you virtually this weekend. Keep making beautiful items. It is good for your soul
