  52. Greetings! I am now following your blog!

    What I love most about craft fairs is all the creative energy in the air, the festive atmosphere with so much visual eye candy around me. It is like heaven on earth! It is so fun to walk around and gaze at all the unique and inspiring works of art, whether large or small, and having the exposure to so many mixed media's all at one time in one place is the ultimate in an art culture experience. I love striking up conversations with the artists and gaining some insight to their point of view about the works of art they have created. It makes for a euphoric day!

    I also love to purchase unique beautiful gifts for my family members and friends so they can enjoy beholding something they may not typically have the chance to ever own. The gift of art never disappoints!

    Thanks so much for the amazing and special chance to enter.

    ~Joanna

  63. I love craft fairs, as a non-crafter, because it recognizes that in life, everyone has a calling or need to do something that satisfies their soul, and I love knowing that these wonderful crafters have found out what they love and put their life's energy into it, hopefully making a little money too.

    I did all of the options, since it's such a wonderful giveaway. Thanks so much for giving us all a chance to win.
    I love craft fairs because I enjoy supporting the independent craftsperson/artisan. It's great to give gifts that are unusual and I love purchasing them directly from the person who made it.
    It also inspires me to expand my crafty horizons.
    Hope I can come to your event. Sidelined with a cold/flu. Have a great time!
