Come be Merry ~ Create & Sparkle

Enjoy a magical afternoon creating beautiful and festive holiday cones you will treasure year after year, or fill with candies to give as gifts
We will create in a lovely ballroom by fireside while listening to festive music, enjoy sweet & savory refreshments, peruse a small Vendor Faire with creative gifts for sale, and of course there will be prizes

This event is open to all, so spread the word and invite your friends and family ~ the more the merrier! In the spirit of giving ~ Please bring any non-perishable food items to be donated to local families in need

Limited seating ~ Deadline to register, Nov. 8th

For those looking to mix it up a bit; using the basic cone shape we will create Paper Slippers ~ think Marie Antoinette! Everyone will have time to complete two cones, slippers, or one of each.

Are you asking yourself, what is a cone? Well, these are created using the most wonderful vintage supplies sourced throughout the year at flea markets and estate sales. I can tell you, that they are wonderfully addicting to make.

I hope you will join us ~
P.S. It's hard to believe that I've been hosting this event (semi annually) for twenty years, and some have been coming that long ~ wow! We used to sit around my dining room table and hang the finished cones from the chandelier. I treasure those memories, and I'm thrilled that my little dream of gathering together to create has grown!
