Winterfest 2023 ~How it Started…How It’s Going ~Set-Up Report


Winterfest Weekend has begun.
Thank you for all your kind comments and
words of encouragement as we prepared for this event. 
Friends who are not able to attend, have purchased online.
This Snowman and little Forest have traveled to friends
in my hometown, in North Dakota.

These Retired Empty Nesters are fortunate to arrive for
Set-up when the doors open. City employees and a few volunteers
are on hand, with big carts, to unload and haul everything in.

Good friends are Priceless.
We had our very own “Volunteer” to help Hubby
with all the “Grunt Work”…
the tent, the shelves, the lighting.
Thank you, Chuck.

My job was to just stay out of their way.
When it’s safe, I dust the shelves, arrange my crates, and unpack.

Can you believe we used to do all this after both
working two full time jobs?!

Yeah, me neither.

The Decorative Tin, for which my Shop is named.

…waiting for a Forever Home.

Have you seen Hubby’s Hand Turned Pilgrims?
They are pretty awesome. I’ll get a better photo today.

Bottle Openers and Muddlers make the perfect Stocking Stuffers.

There’s no shortage of trees…

                                             And some collections are arranged in gift boxes.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, maybe you still need
a hostess gift or to add to your Centerpiece.

The Bottle Necklaces are a good conversation starter
at your Holiday Dinner Party, as well.

We have a larger booth this year and love the extra space.
“His Side”…

…and “Her Side”
No worries, it’s not a competition.

We all look forward to seeing you
Today, Saturday, 10am to 5pm

Take care,
~Natalie
