Summer 2008 Craft Show

Every season a new series of Booths opens on the Craft Show page at Crafters Challenge website. Don, the webmaster, is busy setting up the "grounds" while booth venders are are busy refreshing and preparing booths. Look for some new features when the Summer 2008 Craft Show commences on May 1.

Many previous vendors will return and new ones will premier. Each vendor gets to share up to 5 items. Many of the Crafters Challenge Craft Show participants have online stores so the Craft Show gives viewers a sweet introduction to a variety of goods. A few of the vendors only offer items at the Craft Show, making this the only place to purchase their goods online.

Some booths will remain essentially the same, some will retain similar products while moving to spring and summer color schemes, some such as mine will experience major make overs. While I don't have specifics on what others are doing, can tell you that in Jane's Felt Sew Crafty, I'm getting into the summer spirit by photographing bright straw caps and a fabric amulet pouch. For those who like to make things themselves watch for the beginner disk braiding kit and felt beads.

We hope you pop in on May 1 for the unveiling of the Summer Craft Show at Crafters Challenge.
