The Highlands Craft Show is to benefit The Highlands an old house. Anthony Morris a Quaker purchased 200 acres of land in Whitemarsh, Montgomery County in 1794 to escape the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia.
I mistakenly thought that the craft show was within the grounds of The Highlands, it was actually several miles away at Germantown Academy, if a gentleman had not been driving up the drive to The Highlands and I flagged him down and asked him, I would never have known, signage was terrible.
So I made it to the show. Was fun to look around, I should have told the little old ladies at the entrance taking the entrance fee about the lack of directions, but I didn't.
Lorin Fields above is a fiber artist, working in felted wool on silk, what a lovely medium. I spoke with her and said she might enjoy looking at Marmalade Rose in UK who does felting.
This lady Cara London does hand painting onto silk, I must have been in a silk mood, because these were the two crafts that I especially enjoyed looking at and talking to the artists about. Cara found it very hard to sell paintings so got into painted silk scarfs. I do like her work.
Was fun, I always love to look at what artists and crafters are doing. I didn't buy anything, as it was all rather expensive, but love to ponder on what's out there.

That looks interesting. Even if the items are too expensive it's nice to look and get ideas
