I've seen a few robins, I've seen the sun several times and the daffodils are starting to bloom. Spring certainly must be just around the corner.
I am excited about our July and September Summer Solstice Craft Shows and our League of Maine Craft Show. 2018 will truly be the year to celebrate creativity!
I will start posting photo soon. . . We already have a Great line- up of crafters and artists that will display, demonstrate and offer their handcrafted items for sale at our shows this year. . .
Cheers,
Darr

Be creative this winter and try your hand at “Ice Art”. Get out those old Jell-O molds, plastic containers, buckets and anything else you can find that will hold water and have fun! The weather this year is perfect for freezing. Looking forward to seeing your creations. . .
Once a Crafter - Always a Crafter. . . Cheers, The Ice Queen

HOLIDAY WISHES. . .
Every time a hand reaches out to help another,
That is Christmas. . .
Every time someone puts anger aside and strives for
understanding, that is Christmas. . .
Every time people forget their differences and realize
their love for each other, that is Christmas. . .
May this Christmas sparkle with the
love, laughter and memories of family and friends. . .
Have a Wonderful Holiday, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cheers, Darr

Our goal has always been to have both crafter and the attending public alike say, "I found Lagniappe at the Summer Solstice and League of Maine Craft Shows!"
In the summer of 1982 a few fellow crafter friends and I held our first Summer Solstice Craft Show on the lawn of the Wells Junior High School. It was our desire to offer crafters a venue to display, demonstrate and sell their quality handcrafted items to our seasonal visitors and local residents. We wanted to share, promote and celebrate creativity while offering a quality,enjoyable shopping experience. Thanks to the support of our crafters and the attending public our shows have grown to be three of the most recognizable shows held on the seacoast of Maine. We are very proud of our shows and crafters and have strived to maintain the integrity of high quality shows with multiple craft media.
I am truly privileged to wear the title of Show Director to these shows.
THANK YOU CRAFTERS for a GREAT League of Maine Craft Show this past weekend. Look forward to seeing you at our shows in 2018. Cheers, Darr
