Area shoppers and connoisseurs of fine crafts look forward to Evergreen Easton’s “Handmade from the Heart” every December. Evergreen will celebrate its 17^th year of promoting local artists’ work with a day and a half of gorgeous art & festivities.

The event kicks off on Friday, December 1^st from 5:00-9:00pm for the opening night & craft sale including a new addition to this year’s Festival:  Friday Night Auction featuring: Week Vacation in Provence; Framed Martha Hudson Watercolor; Custom Pet Portrait  – oil painting by P.

The sale continues Saturday, December 2^nd from 10:00am-4:00pm.  A special coffee hour sale featuring Rise Up Coffee Roasters will awaken your senses & keep you warm while you shop! Visitors to Handmade will be entered into a raffle with a chance to win a Wellness Basket from Evergreen, with gift certificates for services & classes, and beautiful all natural wellness products to round it out!

This year’s Handmade Festival showcases beautiful and creative work from local craftspeople, including Jewelry, Enamel Work, Silk Art & Scarves, Hand Knit Items, Wooden Toys and Custom Wooden Puzzles, Adorable Baby Gifts, All Natural Bath & Body Products, and much more!  There will be wonderful handmade wreathes and greens available for sale from Know Good Farm along with other goodies to help get you ready for the holidays!

Something beautiful happens when you support local artists and craftspeople–you strengthen your community and ensure that creative people continue to look to the Eastern Shore as a healthy and desirable area. Keeping money in our community closes a loop, adds vibrancy, and strengthens bonds. All featured artisans live locally and will be on hand to share information about their work.

Our local friends & sponsors help keep this event vibrant: Special thanks to – Eastern Shore Tents & Events, Hearthstone Health + Fitness, RAR Brewing, Rise Up Coffee Roasters, Town & Country Liquors, Barren Island Oysters, & Eat Sprout!
