September arrives with little
fanfare. It bridges the gap between
sweet summer and glorious fall. There’s
a touch of melancholy to the first weeks of the month as Labor Day signals the
end of summer and the school buses begin to roll by. By mid-month, the page turns and the first
hints from autumn’s paintbox seem to appear overnight. The goldenrod and asters begin to bow to the
commanding oranges, reds and yellows of the leaves and the sky clears to a
brilliant blue that invites you outdoors.
Art and craft shows abound. The
exhilarating feeling of walking an outdoor show in crisp fall weather invites
artisans and customers to the venues to buy and sell handmade art, craft, and
enticing food. It’s the perfect time to
get your holiday list in order and treasure hunt for unique, fairly priced
gifts made by amazing people.
Search your area,
or plan a road trip and treat yourself to these outdoor experiences where
you’ll meet the people behind the goods you purchase. They’re not so hard to find… just follow the
scents of hot cider and chili and the sounds of people making the best of
life. Add a firsthand story about
meeting the artisan to your gift. The
human touch adds immeasurable value.

away? Weather uncooperative? Enjoy the handmade experience from home with
