The very first Spiders’ Market was held March 26-27 at the
Albuquerque Garden Center and was a great success. One vendor was
overheard to say, “There’s just a steady stream of buyers coming in
the door!” This event is the culmination of many months of planning
and dreaming by a handful of dedicated and hard working Las Arañas
members who served on the founding committee. There were 47 vendors
who presented handmade items ranging from tapestry to beaded
jewelry, woven shawls to tea cozies, and space dyed yarns to felted
hats. The colorful array of goods and the level of excitement in the
air have proven to those involved in the production of this sale,
that an event such as this, was long overdue. Many thanks to all
of the vendors for their high quality products and for their time
spent on the floor talking, modeling and taking such good care of
the displays. The show floor was filled with tables piled high with
wonderful things and the walls were adorned with tapestries,
blankets, and wall hangings. What a great demonstration of our
talent and abilities!
The members of the founding committee are: Greg and Deb Schwirtz,
Nancy Brouillard, Cindy Ruiz, Denise Davis, Liz McMaster, Diane
Wilhoite, Jaye Whorton and Teresa Franklin. The Board of Directors
provided the financial support and the use of equipment as well as
spiritual support for this historical beginning of a new chapter in
the history of Las Arañas. The committee, as always, would
appreciate your hugs and thanks, but would also love to hear
feedback on their endeavors. They have created a worthy foundation
and with your help we can continue to build it. |
