𝗖𝗲𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝘁 & 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿

A huge weekend coming up with my first (and last) time at the Cedarhurst Art and Craft Fair. This is the grand finale for this 50 year event and I'm proud to be a part of it. Look for me in space #10 with lots of new woodworking pieces, charcuterie boards, cheese slicers, coasters, and even key chains.
