The beautiful and snowy Holiday Season is upon us!! I am pleased and excited to be part of Basil’s Indoor Holiday Market as a vendor on Sunday, December 12th from noon to 4. 📯❄️🌟

Below are some of the up-cycled items I will be selling. The animal grain bags have been up-cycled into reusable market/gift bags and the burlap coffee shoulder bags are all lined and have one or two pockets each. The garden/craft aprons, each with a pocket have also been up-cycled from grain bags.

If you are planning to shop locally, consider stopping by Basil’s to check out each of the vendors and their display of many unique gift items! 🎁

Newly made Burlap Bag! Thanks to Jim Jetson, owner of Upper Hudson Coffee, I was able to make a burlap shoulder bag from one of his coffee bean bags just in time for the holidays!! I hope to finish a few more of this design, so that I can add them to the variety of other bags I have on hand! Call or send a Facebook message if you would like an appointment to visit the Shoppe!
