In 2007, the Lexington Farmers' Market was pleased to provide tent space for local artisans.  Each week four artisans are invited to share two tents to display their work and provide items for sale.  The selection includes a variety of work, from jewelry and ceramics to fiber-arts and hand-crafted furniture.  

We invite you to stop by the market and view the work of these creative and talented individuals.

When I moved to Boston in 1996 for graduate school, I started working with papers and stamps as a hobby. I then moved to Charlottesville, VA, where I taught high school for seven years. While I loved my time in the classroom, I was distracted by how much I loved pairing words with images, playing with white space, and designing invitations for people’s special events. I eventually left teaching to pursue weehah! more fully. Now I’m back in New England, closer to family and the water. Each day I have a new card idea. I have a studio in my home, where I can (and do) play for hours with colorful cardstock, sweet stamps, interesting inks, and, of course, sparkle.
