One Year Later – Cutting Boards

From our very first craft fair last year, back to the one that started it all.

The 1st annual Legion Holiday Craft Fair in our pretty little town.

1st Craft Fair – Table Layout

1st Display at The Ascutney Market

Many adventures along the way, all fun and learning experiences.

Our 1st Beyond the Unicorn Holiday Craft Fair


This year at the Beyond the Unicorn Craft Fair we’ll have a few more design options, more table staging ideas and we’ll also be in the GYM…..Woo Hoo!!

Jury Meeting at The Vermont Hand Crafters – Fingers crossed!
We are IN!!

Gearing up for the Springtime when the Farmer’s Markets begin – we joined a few and again, learned a lot.  1st of all, you have to pay to get a spot in any of the fairs and/or markets. So, you need to decide which ones are a good fit and which ones to try again – or not.

Big Sister – Little Sister

Our Preston and our Wendy are the original big brother – little sister set…then came Ryan and Sandy.  Do you remember Kelly? 

Kelly in Rustic Cherry

Kelly has a little sister in the making…her name will be Jacquie and we believe she will be a wonderful addition to the family!!

Jacquie in Mahogany – Maple Combo

Don’t forget, just like Kelly – our Jacquie has the drip edge and pond, only on one side. 

What do you think? Will the Jacquie be a big hit?


Leaves are Falling

As the leaves are falling and the sun is shinning, it’s a beautiful day in historic Windsor, VT. The artisan (Buddy) is outside with yard work and the marketing directer,(that would be Sandy) is inside. We each do what we can!

Gearing up for the local holiday craft fairs and having fun staging our tables. Our friend little Autumn Breezes by Charming Tails is helping out.

The character in the walnut wood continues to amaze me. 

Walnut Cheese Board – Small

Each piece as beautiful, if not even more beautiful as the last. Although, the cherry – maple combos continue to please. So much so, we have decided to make both cherry – maple and maple – cherry…can you guess what the difference will be?

Cherry – Maple Cheese Board – Small

Notorious rustic cherry, as it continues to age and deepen in color, a hit in all designs.

Mixed oak gives a heavier grain and adds weight.  Perhaps more masculine? What do you think?

Mixed Oak Cheese Board – Small

Our 1st all maple board, light and simple.  I think it’s too plain, but let’s say you are using it to stage a product – a product with color.  This style might be perfect, as not to take away from your item?

Which wood species would you choose for your very own handmade wooden cutting board?  If you could only choose one?
