Hoo lordy, lordy. Server was down tonight so although today’s vendor spotlight was ready to go HOURS ago I had to wait to put it up! Argh!! Today we’re featuring Threads of Hope, and guest writer Malaika Picard of Hand-Me-Down-Designs has been so kind as to write it! Here we go:
We’re so excited about all of our great vendors, each and every one of them an artist in their own medium. Who knew Maine had such talent? WE DID!
Today’s spotlight shines in a little woodsy neighborhood in Waterboro, home of Threads of Hope, started by Donna Hebert. She and her daughter, Elizabeth, have taken ‘home-spun’ to new levels.
What started as a desire to make modest girls’ and women’s clothing became a labor of love as the Hebert family embarked on the journey of adoption. Seeking to raise the funds to give two Ethiopian children a loving home, the Hebert women set to work making skirts and dresses for sale with all of the proceeds going to their adoption fund.
Their simple styles, coupled with warm, cheerful prints will get you feeling bright and cheery in no time! Spring thaw….bring it on!
Did I mention…they have snoods, too!
Thanks, Malaika, for such a nice review! I’m especially excited to get my hands on some of those snoods. For those of you who don’t know but are terribly curious — snoods are like big, chunky hair nets a la 1950s diner waitress or medieval fairs – style it however you like, I think snoods are the best thing since sliced bread.
Oh! I want a snood!!It would have to be prety big to fit my very long(below my waist),thick hair.Yet,I don’t care-I need a snood!
Wow, thank you for such a wonderful spotlight! We will come bearing snoods galore! So excited about The Big Thaw! Thank you for letting us be a part! Our very first ever craft fair!
