This 4 day event has a different feel than other art and craft shows I've attended. When I arrived this past weekend to set up my display, I felt an immediate sense of community in this historical old home- turned-holiday-gallery. There is a genuine love for the historic charm that comes through in the many rooms of this two story residence. Each crafter is given the privilege of displaying their art alongside notable antique furnishings. You will see, in my photos here, some of my gift baskets displayed atop an antique icebox.
With approximately 40 artists represented, you will find a variety of craftsmanship, and undoubtedly the most unique Christmas gifts. Given this is my first showing at Victoria's, I was most impressed to hear other crafters mention that although the volume of artists is on the smaller side, the quality is of the highest. That is a tribute to the historical society and the work they do to keep the Noble-Seymour-Crippen house noble indeed.
