I am standing inside my market stall in Devens with my handmade bags on display, set up outdoors on a grassy field with trees and food trucks in the background.

The first at Devens, MA at their annual Food Truck & Craft Festival was on Saturday May 31 from 11am-5pm. It went on despite some sketchy weather! A bit of rain early on, but the sun came out by noon and the day turned out pretty nice. Some vendors didn’t make it, but I had a few good sales and great conversations—including returning customers and a fellow sewer from Minnesota! We had to pack up early due to thunderstorms, but I made it out just before the downpour.

I am standing inside my booth at The Festival by the Lake in Wakefield, displaying various colorful fabric tote bags hanging on racks and displayed on the ground, with a cloudy sky overhead.

Sunshine, smiles, and lots of bag love at Festival by the Lake in Wakefield on Sunday June 8!
So glad the date moved to Sunday—gorgeous weather, great crowds, and lots of happy customers. Shoutout to the shopper who found the perfect Pickleball water bottle bag for her mom, and the duo who came for one tote and left with four! 😄

I am standing in my booth at the Barn Door Spring craft fair in Pepperell MA, displaying colorful handmade bags and accessories, with a large golden retriever lying on the grass nearby.
