Maine Artisan Bread Fair

Looking forward to returning to The Maine Artisan Bread Fair event this year! You'll find me there with some wood burned items (as I wrote about in my May 25th post on this blog), some of my felted veggies (a little peek seen on this blog listing) and also little felt chicken puppets to go along with my reading of "The Little Red Hen and the Grain of Wheat". You'll also find some Maine Made Jams, and a few Barefoot Books publications such as the Kids' Kitchen deck, Herb the Vegetarian Dragon, The Beeman , The Gigantic Turnip, and more.

20% of my proceeds of the day will proudly be donated to the Maine Farmland Trust again this year.

For those of you who are unable to attend this Saturday event in Skowhegan, the wood and felt art will be added to the Barefoot Storyteller etsy shop sometime after the event (if there are any of them left!) and the Barefoot Books publications can be found on-line upon my link www.BarefootBooksStoryteller.com


Though I won't be offering any Chronicle Books for sale at this event, I'd like to share a special on-line sale for them with you...just click the button below to receive 30% off cook book orders!

Events

Summer is certainly in full swing here...and I am gardening (or local farm stand purchasing), preparing for upcoming events, looking forward to my son's presentation at Pecha Kucha Night Waterville July 20th (and his performance in a Lakewood Theater's Young Performer's Production July 30th) doing some kayaking on the pond, and waiting for a cool breeze. Not the time of year for making soaps or doing too much felting, but excellent time for hanging herbs to dry.

Should soon be ready for Waterfall Arts Lawn Bazaar and Let Art and Nature Collide on July22nd in Belfast. Not sure if I'll be inspired to tell stories, but will have the "create your own story" stand up for the kids as usual. I'll be selling my wares for sure though, thinking of doing a blending of my handmade naturals and some books, and maybe a few other items. Can't decide who to give my usual event % donation to, so will be choosing four! Maine Farmland Trust, Thor-Nox Educational Garden, Camp Forest, and, the Maine Autism Society! After that is the Belfast Bound Book Festival on the 29th, and the Maine Bread Artisans Fair in Skowhegan July 30th.
