Holiday Craft Sale at SIU - 2016

Get ready, 'cause it's coming up.  The one we look forward to every year, a great ending to a great season.  The Holiday Craft Sale at the SIUC Student Center is always one of the best shows of the year.  This is the show we have done the longest, and every year it just gets better and better.  We'll be in our usual location at the foot of the escalators with a wide variety of products old and new. 

Have you tried our Shower Fizzies?  Take the lid off, put this in the bottom of your shower, and when the water hits it, peppermint, eucalyptus, and camphor will waft upwards to help open even the most stubbornly stuffed nose.

Dry hands?  You can't do better than one of our Lotion Bars.  This solid lotion melts on to your hands to spread a protective layer, sealing in the body's natural moisture and saving your hands from the ravages of winter.

Some one who's hard to buy for?  Make them up a gift basket of goodies in their favorite scent.  We have a number of products for which you can even mix and match our scenting oils for a unique scent of your own.

Take a look at our unique wine racks, made from wood from the forests of Southern Illinois.  Or they might prefer a solid cutting board.  You won't find cutting boards made of cherry or walnut at a big-box store.

We're sure you'll find something to love at Ruth & John's, so come on out and see us.

Autumnfest, John A. Logan College, 2016
