10:00 AM – 04:00 PM

A juried selection of over 25 artisans, crafters and bakers will be presenting their work in a relaxed, friendly and festive atmosphere.

The Valley Artisan Show strives to bring in new vendors and old favourites to give you a wide variety of handcrafted items for those special people and pets on your shopping list. You’ll find gifts such as sun-catching stained glass and fused glass, rustic pottery in many forms, scented soaps and scrubs, maple products and gift baskets, folksy painted reclaimed ceramics and containers, local photography in cards and puzzles, canes and walking sticks created from tree branches, flavoured honey and beeswax candles, silky scarves to dress up a winter coat, things knitted and sewn, repurposed silver-plated jewellery, as well as wire-wrapped pendants. Delicious cakes, cookies and sweet confections, framed intricate miniature quilts, and decorative and useful woodworking items are just a few more examples of what you will find at this popular Almonte Christmas sale.

Delicious homemade light meals and snacks will be served by the Friends of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum as a fundraiser. Please feel free to bring along Canadian Tire money, tinned dog or cat food, loose change, or even paper towels for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (check their wish list at lanarkanimals.ca). The show offers free admission, free parking, and a chance to win this year’s fabulous lap quilt of festive Christmas fabrics.
