Books A Mllion Then a Crafts Show

 

In the wake of this month cracking the one-million-page-views mark with this blog, I had the chance to present my books to my neighbors and others at Coosaw Creek Country Club in Noarth Charleston, where we live. 


Eight residents were selected to have tables set with their handmade creations. I was indeed honored to be part of it all on Sunday, Nov. 8.






Feedback from the vendors is that everyone had a good afternoon of sales. I was pleased to sign and sell nearly a dozen of my books. Children picked from my feather collection when their parent or grandparent bought one of my bird books. 

A couple from our church in Summerville attended and bought my “Churchyards of Charleston” book. It was great to meet them. And I appreciated St. John the Beloved Church including in the bulletins for two weeks information I submitted promoting the Coosaw Creek Crafts Fair. 


Alesia and I spread the wealth too, buying a number of crafty items made by our neighbors. Maggie Thompson, the fair’s main organizer, makes customized handbags and totes. 




We had a nice start on our holiday shopping, finding unique gifts for beloved family members. I was pleased to snag, for us, Sue Weiden’s owl that she made from pieces of driftwood. 








Ruth Norton has a neat niche with Lowcountry novelties she makes with local clam and oyster shells. 


Tis the season! Hit me up if any of my books appeal to you as gifts or personal reading.


Here is Maggie Thompson’s card. Contact her by email at magsdesignsO@gmail.com. 


Can’t believe it’s just a few weeks until Thanksgiving!
