elen and I went to an arts and craft fair this morning in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow. Not a big show, maybe 75 vendors.
Mostly jewelry. hats,
There was a young person, maybe mid 20s, he had a table full of Dan Noren's wine bottle holders. I didn't think they were even as nice as Dans, as they were very simple. On the other side of his table, I figured Id find some cutting boards, but he had a cute idea.
He used some ply, made simple small shelving units, spice racks, but used fancy rope type molding on the plywood edges, and stained it nicely.
Looked nice, I hope he sold something. He also had a book on his table, a three binder folder, with all his work, pictures, and I heard him discussing with someone that anything in the book he can make and sell them.
I personally thought he should have had a few pieces on the grass like his Adirondack chairs and stuff, just to let people actually see them in person.
I would never order furniture from a book.
but no cutting boards. We met a guy 3 weeks ago at the Nassau coliseum craft show that only had cutting boards.
His small cheese boards were 15, medium l boards were 30, a largerboard was 40
typical home made boards, I hope he made some money also.
