If you're in the NY Hudson River Valley or the Tri-state area this weekend, you're in luck. Our beautiful valley is dressed in the dazzling colors of peak Fall foliage and the weather is very fine. Lots to do, so plan your itinerary. It's also peak time to celebrate the wonderful variety of fine crafts produced in our valley.

Saturday only, please take a drive to Dover Plains, NY to the beautiful Madava Farms and partake in the luscious-ness of the Crown Maple Fall Festival. You'll be able to purchase some lovely teas and accessories from Jules and Olya of Beau Tea Studio. Check out the line up and vendors, and try not to drool.

New Jersey will be sporting some fine colors this weekend as well. Certainly worth a trip to see Devon, of Gourdament with her whimsical and finely crafted pieces created from gourds at the Morristown Craft Market. There will be a large, juried collection of all types of fine crafts represented.

Where To Find Hudson Valley Etsy This Weekend



"The morns are meeker than they were,  

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry's cheek is plumper, 
The rose is out of town. 
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
 

I'll put a trinket on."  

Emily Dickinson,  Nature 27 - Autumn

Autumn will be making its presence known for the first time this weekend here in the Hudson Valley. The first frost of the year may be on it's way, but the sunny, crisp air is perfect for leaf peeping and visiting two of Hudson Valley Etsy's fiber artists. On Saturday, head on down to Crafts In Chelsea and say Hi to Erin, from Harp and Thistle. You'll want to choose from her selection of charming punch needle embroidery pieces to adorn your home or yourself.

 

On Sunday, you'll find Kathryn from HuzzahHandmade at the final Warwick Makers' Market of the year at Railroad Green Park, in the heart of the lovely village of Warwick, N.Y. Her shop is brimming with all things warm, soft and luxurious for comfy Autumn strolling or holiday gift-giving.
