Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival SIFAF

It has come and gone, one of my favorite fall festivals of the year, Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival in Corydon, IN.  While, definitely not the largest festival I vend at, it is one of those charming festivals where you can talk to and get to know your customers as well as fellow vendors.

The town of Corydon is a charming little bedroom community and has a rich history as Indiana's first state capital.  Every year, I book a room at the Kintner House  which is within walking distance from the fair grounds.  Breakfast is served piping hot from the oven at specific times and all occupants sit at the huge dining room table.  Makes for great conversation where you meet many new people and share snippets of your life.

This is my favorite batt from my mad carding sessions during the festival.

Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival

It is definitely past due for a blog post. Several weeks ago, I was thrilled to again be a part of the Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival in Corydon, IN. Yes, this little fiber frolic happens at the same time as Rhinebeck. No, it is not as big as Rhinebeck. But, it is a heart warming group of dedicated vendors who make this little fair better and better each year!


This year, I did not have a helper so unfortunately did not have much of a chance to snap shots of the other vendors. I did of course get a shot or two of my booth and the Kintner House where I stayed:)

Other Fun Facts..................

I taught myself to knit by watching a woman while on a flight from Scotland to the USA in 1996.

I taught myself how to spin yarn Feb 15th, 2007. I think I've done fairly well:)

'Lunabud' is a combination of two dogs' names I was loved by, Buddy and Luna:)
