Guild Exhibition and Sale
Last weekend was the Ottawa Valley Weaver’s and Spinners Guild annual exhibition and sale. it was a good weekend all round.
There were demos of both weaving and spinning.
There were other felters there, primarily needle felters. These are Nancy’s owls and mixed media birds.
These are rides Puppets and a huge Abraham Lincoln.
The only things new for me really were Christmas balls, and some hand turned wood plying/knitting bowls I was selling for a friend. I sold 4 of the 5.
It was a fun weekend. I got to chat with lots of new people about felt and it was great to see repeat customers and hear how they have enjoyed there previous purchase’s. Its great to meet people year after year and know they have enjoyed something you made enough to come back and tell you about it and perhaps purchase more things.
Have you enjoyed any shows this fall?

I like Nancy’s birds and I’m not surprised that you sold most of the turned bowls – they’re lovely. Your Christmas tree baubles turned out to be very pretty – did you sell them all?
She does make lovely stuff. I sold a few balls. I think people thought they were just part of the display, or maybe it’s to early for them. I hope they do better in the next 2 shows. I did sell about 30 felted soaps. I only came home with 4.
Hello Ann, it looks like there was lots lovely creative art for people to admire and buy.. The yarn bowls are gorgeous…
Yes, there were lots of tempting things from a very talented group.

Looks like a beautiful show. I have a hard time selling Christmas ornaments in the store. They have never sold well and I’m not sure why. Glad you sold a lot of soap – guess you have to make some more 🙂
If worse comes to worse I will hang them on my tree. Yes I do have to make more. I wish they were more fun to make.
Wow, all those needle felted creations are impressive! Your baubles look great, Ann 🙂
They are very good aren’t they
Happy to see some needle felting! Loved the baubles, too 🙂
I don’t do very much myself but I really appreciate the amount of work that goes into good needle felted art.
Looks like a fun fair and glad to hear you did so well on selling the felted soap! Handmade markets at Christmas time are the best, particularly the ones with fiber.
The soap sales were crazy. I thought I would have enough for the last 3 shows I was doing this fall.
It looks like a great fair Ann! I’m glad you did well selling all that felted soap! Every little bit helps!
It is always a good sale I guess everyone wants to be nice and clean this year.
It is the holiday season! 🙂
