Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show

Before the opening of the

2024 Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show

Each Season has it function here at the Annisquam Herb Farm, home of Annisquam Creations. In the Spring it is all about the gardens that are the source of raspberries, Concord grapes and figs for the preservers that are made in the Summer and Fall. Summer is for family and friends gathering and celebrating the warm weather and sunshine and tending the gardens. Fall the interests turn to Unfinished Projects - knitting, sewing and the ever present required maintenance. Winter is for reading, trying new recipes, more knitting and planning the gardens. The offerings at the Annisquam Arts & Crafts Show reflect all of these.

I have participated in this Show many years and have made friends with a few of the vendors that show up year after year with wonderful items to tempt one. Each year my items vary but include the preserves that fly off my table. this year there with over fifty new blank note cards to chose from plus hats from A Bee in Your Bonnet Collection.

What will next year bring?

PS: From Spring to October you will find some of the items at the Annisquam Exchange!

One-of-a-Kind, Andean Style Hat Sold!

The story of Grace's Andean style hats 

My dear friend, Grace Murray knit over 400 hats and gave them all away to friends and to local  organizations. 

It all started with a trip one weekend to a yarn store in Maine where she bought a book with a knit hat on the cover. The book told the story of the author's travels and of collecting the knit designs on the Andes. The next weekend she went back to the store in Maine and bought enough yarn for one hat. Shortly after that she and her husband, David were on their sailboat, stuck in the fog in a harbor in Maine where Dave read the instructions as Grace knit the edging for her first hat. She was hooked. Dave helped Grace layout different patterns for special hats depicting a sailboat or another design personalizing many of the following hats.

When Grace could no longer knit she gave me her patterns, the book that started it all and the left over yarn. In her memory I started to knit my version of the Andean hat. All were sold at the Annisquam Arts and Crafts Show or the Annisquam Sewing Circle Christmas Fair.

The sailboat hat was custom made for a member of the Annisquam Village as a result of the Auction shown in the video.
