In fact, while many pieces in the show may be fine alone, others, such as small inlaid wooden boxes or Christmas ornaments, provide more punch in a themed group. Part of the joy of shopping craft fairs is returning year after year to select one more gem to add to your collection. Craft-show artisans love to develop relationships with their customers and are usually eager to hear your suggestions for additions or improvements to their selection. Decorating children's rooms often provides a welcome relief from the formality of the rest of the house. Accessories can be chosen to match a child's personality and interests or just for fun.
Personalized items are especially popular and make excellent gifts for grandchildren's bedrooms.
All those home accessories under one roof can save you time and frustration. Many artisans also accept custom orders in colors and sizes that suit your room or your taste. The Wilton Autumn Craft Festival will be held at the Wilton High School Field House on Route 7 from 10-5 on October 16 and 17. Laurie Hauser Forcade is a member of the Wilton Women's Club.
