Order Ahead

If you know you want to give Ruth & John's for Christmas, you can help yourself out by ordering in advance. Call or text Ruth at 618-559-6252, and let her know what you want (leave a message if she can't pick up and she'll get back to you right away). She can get your order ready and you can pick it up next weekend at the SIU Holiday Craft Sale. If you wait till the show to make your selections, we may be sold out of your favorite items. Not to worry, she can make more, but ordering ahead means you know we'll have what you want.

Holiday Craft Sale '18

It's coming!  The SIU Holiday Craft Sale!  We love this show, and look forward to it every year.  Come join us at the SIU Student Center Thursday, Nov. 29 through Saturday, Dec. 1.  We will be in our usual spot at the bottom of the escalator with a lot of new items, most of your old favorites, and, of course, dragon eggs.

Arts and Crafts Extravaganza, Show Me Center, Cape Girardeau, Missouri

The shows keep on coming.  After a great show this past weekend at John A. Logan College, we're busily making new product to refill our shelves for the Arts and Crafts Extravaganza at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Mo.  This annual event takes us a little farther afield than we usually go, but it's still close enough that you can come see us, as well many other artists you won't at other local shows.  This is a great opportunity to get out and knock off some of your holiday shopping.

November 17 - November 18, 2018

 

 And if you've not yet seen them, you've got to come out and take a look at our dragon eggs.  Yes, we have dragon egg soaps, just like you see in your favorite fantasy television show.  Fortunately for you, these dragon eggs do their magic in water rather than fire. 

So stop by this weekend and say hello.  We'll be looking for you.

AutumnFest 2018

One of the really good shows coming up this weekend; AutumnFest at John A. Logan College.  We've done this show almost as long as we've been doing shows, and it has consistently been one of the best.  Best in terms of the level of art to be found, best in the sheer number of people who come by, and best in the number of pieces that go home with our customers.  The year promises to be another great one, and we've been working hard to gear up for it.

 If you're a Game of Thrones fan (and who isn't?), you've got to stop by and see what a little special item we have.  I hate to sound immodest, but I think it's good enough to make Jon Snow smile.  And it's the perfect thing for the Khaleesi in your life.

So stop by and say hello.  We'll be looking for you!
