Returning vendor to this year's Spring Homesteading Faire, Waddell Creek Farm will be boasting their amazing honey, teas, salves, and handmade gifts. Can I just take a minute and talk about those horse figurines you see in the pic? Those were cast from hand sculpted clay, detailed down to the very veins of the horse. And it was done by a 14 and 16 year old sisters! They've cast these to create horses that are durable enough to be played with by the littles! They will be showcasing the process it took to make these at their vendor booth, so come check it out!
