One of the biggest craft shows in the country will once again take place this weekend (October 3 & 4) at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck. The team's own Becky from geminiriverrocks.etsy.com will be present selling her lovely handpainted pins, pendants, and more!

"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!

At the Handmade Cavalcade

This year the {NewNew} Etsy team invited members of the Hudson Valley Etsy team to participate in the Fall Handmade Cavalcade held in Beacon, NY. The event was held on Saturday, September 12 right in the center of town.
