The 1st Autumn Moon Fest takes over where the Moon Dance left off and the tradition continues in Historic Windsor, Vermont. Wonderful celebration of our pretty little town with foliage, entertainment for all ages, food and shopping!
Main Street from Depot to River was shut down as well as State Street up to the Common. All I have to say is well done to all involved in organizing this event!
There was so much more going on that we (as a vendor) couldn’t see, from theater performances, jazz band and more. Green and Gold Photography shared a BUNCH of great pics, be sure to take a look at their Facebook!
Hula Hoops on Fire? Of Course!
Jeweled Hoops by Julie
Did you get a t-shirt? We sure did and are proud to have been mentioned!

The 1st Annual (we hope) Fall Craft Fair and Silent Auction has come and gone. Much planning went into this even and that was evident. We were also very impressed by the quality of each handcrafted offering. Andrea, was looking for artisans and she found them. As Creative Woodworking we are proud to be invited to the group.
While there, along with meeting many fellow crafters, we learned about the Cedar Hill Community and the types of continuing health care and assisted living options they are able to offer. As the expansion continues, they will be able to offer even more, which is great news for Windsor, VT and our surrounding towns.
Ready to enter, see the Village and meet some vendors? Let’s go!
The Community Room created a cozy space for Joan Butterfield’s / Anne’s Daughter Designs.

The Knitting Gnome / Nancy (and her husband, who you can’t see, but I know is there) had so many choices. From yarn, fabrics, handmade crafts, buttons, hats, and, of course gnomes! Check out their website for all the options.

The Knitting Gnome not only sells online, they have a retail store in St. Johnsbury, VT. Continuing on….the very talented Andrea had her own display, hand crafted designs and originals in acrylic, watercolors and pastels.
In the Living Room were even more artisan’s, from handcrafted fabric crafts and bracelets, wooden cutting boards, quilts, table runners and placements, and woven baskets. Gifts all over the place!

Outside vendors had to deal with Mother Nature and mud due to the construction site. Next year, perhaps out front in the grass, or visitor parking, then folks will need to walk by them in order to enter the building.
Raymond and Cindy West of White River Jct., VT are Raycin Farms!!
Fudge was wonderful!!
The Regenesis Project, the goal is to help hardworking individuals in Haiti develop a better life. It’s quite something and the handmade projects are stunning. Please take a look and help if you can.
More crafts, we really had a nice selection of vendors!

Cynthia Sheehan shows us “It’s Sew Easy“…Get it? And, she offers much more than bibs, check our her facebook.

So, if you didn’t attend the 1st Annual Cedar Hill Fall Craft Fair and Silent Auction, you should have :-) AND, if you see something you like, all featured vendors have links and/or phone numbers, so you can still shop for gifts from them. Artisan Quality Throughout. All hand chosen by Andrea Lapins, Activity Director at The Village at Cedar Hill. Well done Andrea and team!! Well done!!
Progress is good, we are busy and encouraged with how things are happening. Our 1st unofficial business meeting with Todd and Sid of HomeCentrL, Social Media Services, lots of ideas discussed and advice given.
A walking tour of our pretty and historic little Vermont town started us off and luckily it was a beautiful, sunny and comfortable day. Bob Haight, Windsor’s Downtown Manager was our guide and beyond entertaining.
Windsor has a Welcome Center and it’s a timber frame. How cool is that? From the train station, down main street, historic building one after the other.

Lake Runnemede has quite a story, but today we will just appreciate the beauty and the view. I spy The Juniper Hill Inn…which is for sale, hint – hint.
Flowers still a bloom, we had a nice time and learned so much. Thank you, Town of Windsor. I mean 1/2 a town.
Dinner and a Craft Cider at Harpoon wrapped up our visit. Always a good time!
Harpoon – Windsor, VT
For the time being our Mudroom has turned into our temporary showroom. It’s actually working out well.
Cutting Board pre-orders are coming in and we’ve chosen a few Holiday Craft Fairs, fingers are crossed for continued success.
One of each of these are clamped up, Maple – Walnut and Walnut – Maple. Do you see the difference?
More Hearts and Sandys will be delivered and shipped on Monday! This stack will be glued-up and clamped in no time. Rustic Cherry – Walnut and of course, the combos.
Rustic Cherry – The Sandy – 8 1/2″ x 12″ x 3/4″
Hearts! 10″ x 10″ x 3/4″
And, of course, we can’t keep our hands on the Prestons, which is wonderful news.
I see Oak, Walnut and Rustic Cherry ready to be cut to size, shaped and sanded. Excellent.
Need a few more Walnut – Maple also, the contrast is so strong. Bud, with his creative design eye, hand selects all the wood to achieve the character wanted.
The Preston and The Wendy
Cheers to the Cutting Boards and to our favorite wines from Putney Winery!!
