Hawken House Christmas Market
Sunday November 7, 2010
Calling all talented crafters! We know you are out there – and we need your help to make our 2nd annual Hawken House Christmas Market a success. This event will take place in our Hearth Room on Sunday, November 7th. If you design jewelry, make wreaths and dried flower arrangements, wooden toys, or pottery, crochet scarves and baby hats, assemble stained glass window panels, or hand paint ornaments….. here is an opportunity for you to sell your crafts and benefit the Webster Groves Historical Society all at the same time! The possibilities are endless – perhaps you sew doll clothes, or design scrapbook pages, or make herbal soaps – we want you!
If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call Nancy Leahy at 962-4232, or email her at windswept4@sbcglobal.net. Hand crafted items only please! The craft fair hours are tentatively scheduled to be 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with set up earlier that morning, starting at 8:00 a.m. Booth rental size will be 8’ by 6’ – please note that spaces are limited.
We had a delightful and artistic group of crafters here last year and shoppers were impressed with the quality and selection of items that were offered for sale. The Hearth Room provides a charming, festive setting and shoppers enjoyed holiday music and refreshments in the Hawken House.
We’re planning on a fun day, but it’s only possible if we have a variety of booths selling an enticing selection of wares, along with an enthusiastic group of shoppers. You’ll love buying hand made items as gifts for Christmas; they are unique and personal. Please support our talented crafters!
