"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

- George Eliot

Such a visual and inspiring quote! Thought this might help some of us (ahem me) who might be between seasons and trying to find focus on their craft. The Hudson Valley is such an amazing place to live- throughout the year- but Fall is like our little special treat. The leaves, the colors and the delicious comfort foods. I hope the changing of the seasons brings you great joy & a sense of creativity!

Welcome to Our Blog!

First, let us introduce ourselves....we are an Etsy Street Team from New York, the beautiful Hudson Valley to be exact! We span 8 or so counties including Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Columbia, & Greene! They range from the hustle and bustle of corporate life of Westchester, to the quiet and rural forests and glens of Greene...and everything in between!

The Hudson Valley is rich is culture and history. It is packed with shopping opportunities ranging from the one of the most popular outlet malls to the quaint villages of New Paltz and Nyack. And lets not get started on the amazing food that can be found!

The artisans that make up this group are just as diverse. We have jewelry makers, screen printers, photographers, artists & painters, , potters, folk artists, bath & body creators, sculptors, knitters, clothing designers, and the list goes on!

With this blog we hope to introduce you to a bit of our worlds. Our crafts, our shops, our communities. Stay turned for artist features, restaurant reviews, local arts and crafts fair tips and reviews...pretty much a bit of everything! Enjoy!
