| CRAFTS AND OTHER STUFF |
| During the course of my 40+ year career as an RN, primarily in emergency medicine, I became more and more interested in alternative medicines especially aromatherapy --- with a primary focus on lavender and its relaxing effects. For several years prior to starting my own small field, I was making lavender soaps using dried lavender from a friend. After attending the Sequim Washington Lavender Festival a few years ago, I came home very excited about having my own lavender field. On that trip, I was advised by a farm owner that 30 plants was "all you need" for personal crafting. In 2004 I began with 3 dozen plug plants, 28 survived the first winter. I did well selling lavender sachets at craft fairs and on e-bay. VICTORIA'S WEBSITE - ENJOY |

| DARLENE MONTGOMERY GOLF CART COVERS AND OTHER GOLFING ACCESSORIES I sell golf cart seat covers. I started my business in 2003 after I experienced many cold and hot golf cart seats while playing at the various golf tournaments. Additionally, the seats were usually dirty so wearing white was questionable. The company appropriately known as Par4Dar Products has traveled the circuit of Southern California. My seat covers are in many of the country clubs and they have been given as tee prizes. The covers are on display (and for sale) at the Bermuda Dunes Country Club Pro Shop. We do special orders. See you at the Festival! |
| THE WINSHIP-STEWART FAMILY Mother’s Secret Hot Fudge Sauce Created in 1955 As a young bride, my Mother-in-law introduced me to many family recipes including her recipe for Hot Fudge Sauce. She created the recipe in her kitchen in 1955 and served it at the Soda Fountain of their family owned business, "Winship Drug". It was the typical “drug store” of the 50’s and 60’s with a pharmacy, soda fountain, sundries, gifts, and beach supplies, located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. When Mother made a huge pot of hot fudge sauce daily and cooked it in the back kitchen, people could smell that rich, dark, chocolate sauce cooking as soon as they came in the front door. Over the years I have made hundreds of jars of hot fudge for friends. I love the scent of that smooth, dark, hot fudge sauce cooking in my kitchen. Mother said I was to keep this recipe in the family. I promised to honor her request and teach my future daughters and daughter-in-law to make it; and share it for generations to come. For the “Art in the Dunes” festival, my daughter-in-law and I have made lots of jars of hot fudge sauce. We will have samples for you, so come by and get a taste from my young grandsons. The jars for sale will be wrapped for Christmas. I think you’ll enjoy trying one yourself and giving some as a gift. |

. . Click on photos for larger view Dawn has had an affection for all types of fine arts and crafts since High School. She has done everything from sculpting, drawing, and painting, to making jewelry, silk screens, and candles. In college she majored in commercial art with emphasis on interior design, but later switched to a business major for advancement in her career as a logistics manager in the aerospace industry. When she decided to become a stay-at-home mom, Dawn was able to devote more energy back into arts and crafts. One of the things she came across while pursuing various crafts was making soy candles. Since these all natural soy candles are environmentally friendly (Go Green!!!), and support the American farmer, she became very interested in sharing this great candle option with others, and thus, Ivie’s SoyLight Mist Candles was born. SoyLight Mist Candles are an all natural, non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally preferable, and renewable resource option for those who love to burn candles. These soy candles are clean burning and the wax cleans up with soap and water. There are many more benefits to these all natural soy candles. But, buyer beware, because some candles labeled as “SOY” are actually mixed with paraffin. I am convinced you will love our all natural soy candles. They are just another way to make . . . ~ALL THINGS NATURAL~ |
