At the Misty Manor, we provide a refuge for some of the skills that have largely been lost in the mists of the past. Like the old manors, we provide fine goods: soaps, candles, and textiles created by our household, with our own hands.

Pierce City Arts Festival - June 12

Mon, 06/07/2010 - 21:21 — Cathi

Well, we're going to be at the Pierce City Arts Festival next weekend, June 12, 2010, from 10-5. We'll be demoing our fiber arts stuff, and if weather cooperates, I may try to bring my lampworking (melted glass over a torch) setup with. We'll also have some new fiber arts pieces and lampworked jewelry available. Hope to see folks there!
