Two Ways to Kick Off Your Holiday Shopping with Betsy Platt Originals This November!
The leaves are turning, the air is getting crisp, and it's officially time to start thinking about finding those perfect, unique holiday gifts! I am thrilled to announce that Betsy Platt Originals will be featured at two wonderful community craft fairs this November.
I'll be bringing a huge selection of my handcrafted fabric accessories (think unique, functional crossbody bags, zipper pouches, and totes) and cozy, colorful knitwear (scarves, gloves and fingerless gloves) to both locations. It’s the perfect time to find something truly special for everyone on your list, or treat yourself!
Event 1: Handmade Harvest Market
Join us for the First Annual Juried Handmade Harvest Market, a wonderful kick-off to the holiday season. This market brings together a variety of professional artisans for a day of creativity and community.

Event 2: 13th Annual NVTHS Foundation Craft Fair
I'm excited to be at the Nashoba Valley Technical High School Foundation Craft Fair! This is a long-running, well-loved event that features a huge variety of vended local vendors. With the weather cooling down, this is where you’ll find my fabric accessories and in addition, Christmas oriented fabric items and my coziest knitted pieces—perfect for gifts that are both practical and stylish.
