Labor Day Already?




This unofficial end of Summer weekend, Finestra Designs will be showing our work at the Kipona Artfest in Harrisburg, PA. Interesting architecture all around and a really fun outdoor show right along the river, just a few blocks from the State Capital.
We will be in booth # 138. Looking forward to seeing some of our loyal customers from the Harrisburg and surrounding areas.
Show runs 3 days Sat. 10am -7pm, Sun. 12pm -7 pm & Mon. 10am - 5pm
Bring a friend and enjoy the last days of Summer 08.
See you then.

So busy on show circuit, time to catch up on blog.









Well, we've been working for a number of weeks with no breaks, and I have been neglecting the blog updates and happenings.

Catching up.
Collingswood, NJ show started out great but unfortunately the torrential rain and lightening on Sunday had us close up early. Thomson had a fun Saturday assisting our friends Emily and Ray of Album Cover Handbags.

Mt. Gretna, PA, Outdoor Arts & Fine Crafts show was a big success, both in sales and response to our work. The judges looked kindly on us again as Finestra earned a Yellow & White Ribbon for Judges Choice. It will go well with the Green and Yellow ribbon from 2006, and with the ribbon comes automatic acceptance to next years show, so see you all then. Thank you Mt. Gretna

This past weekend we were part of the Pocono Guild of Craftsman show at Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm. Very authentic, true feeling of working farm from early 1800's, so much so that I think some folks expected our prices to reflect the time period rather than present day. Oh well , win some lose some. A warm "Thank You" to the customers who truly understand and appreciate our work.
A lovely place to spend part of the day if you find yourself in the Pocono/Stroudsburg, PA area. So don't wait for the craft show weekend before you visit.

Coming up next Harrisburg, stay tuned for more info.

PA Guild Delaware Show



We were pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming positive response to our work and the show in general.

It was our first time showing Finestra Designs in Delaware. The PA Guild did a great job promoting the show, as usual, and the venue was truly magnificent.
We look forward to our return to The Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington, DE , September 26 -28th with the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival.

We strongly encourage all in those in the Philly/Wilmington area to come out and experience the newly revitalized Riverfront area, restaurants, museums, shops and of course the craft show.
Remember: Delaware is sales TAX FREE!
