A note from Margaret...
From a very young age, I learned the true value of handmade – whether it was freshly baked bread, hearty soups or Arts and Crafts. It comes from the heart and a place of love. My mother passed this beautiful gift to me, which I now share with you today and for the past 32 years with the Silk Threads Christmas Craft Show.
Those who know me well agree I probably have three passions - my family, Crafts and you, our guests at Silk Threads. At last year's craft show, there was an overwhelming positive response from all our guests. At the same time, last year brought its own challenges and marked a difficult time for our family. My dear husband of 50 years, John, became ill. Unlike any other time in years past, it was a defining moment for our family as well as Silk Threads. It was a time to reflect, reminisce, and realize this was an opportunity to start a new path. There is the great quote, "when one door closes, another opens", and this is where Silk Thread's journey continues. John knew how much our craft show meant to me. And, what it meant to all of you. He encouraged me to explore a new way. As luck would have it, I was approached by Kin Village as a potential new venue. I thought, "why not include like-minded artists and produce an amazing Christmas Craft show at Kin Village?" The answer was of course "Yes!" and so this brings us to today… I am so excited for this year! John is responding very well to his treatment and I am busy “cooking up” lots of great new ideas. I promise you will see things at Silk Threads that you won’t find anywhere else! The possibilities at Kin Village are endless – a larger venue that still maintains a cozy feel, capacity for more artists and vendors, easy parking, a café selling and serving lunch and other delights to our guests, and most importantly, the ability to install SO many more twinkle lights (my favorite!). As the leaves begin to turn this fall and our thoughts plan for the holiday season, I invite you to come with us on our journey. Visit us once again and enjoy all the beautiful, original and amazing crafts, at our new beginning of Silk Threads Christmas Craft Show at Kin Village. See you there! Love, Margaret Ryding |
