Moving News!

Dearest fans, friends, and customers:

We are excited to announce that Sweet Tarragon is moving! It’s sudden, but things have come together extraordinarily fast, so we’ve needed to make a very quick decision: over the next few weeks and months, we’ll be moving to Buffalo, New York.

Our last show in Eastern PA for the foreseeable future will be the Indiemade Craft Market in Bethlehem, PA this Saturday, June 12. Once we have settled in from the move, we plan to focus on our website, adding new creations and old favorites to the online store while we find our footing in the amazing Buffalo art scene. We thank you for your support over the last few years at local shows and festivals and hope to see you online. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Spotted Hill Farmfest!

admin — Sat, 15 May 2010 01:07:30 +0000

Ok, I realize this is the 11th Hour, but Sweet Tarragon will be vending at the Spotted Hill Farmfest on Saturday, May 15th. It’s a new show, but there will be plenty of fantastic crafters there besides us, and it’s worth coming out just to meet Donna, the event coordinatrix, farm owner and all-around fabulous goat-farming eccentric.

Anyway, there will be demos of spinning and fibercraft and goatkeeping, tours, cute animals to pet and-also-nubian-goats-probably-which-aren’t-so-cute, and an honest to goodness alpaca seminar. There will also be games and food and a general commitment to have a good time. Stop by!

Boyertown Farmer’s Market 2010 Season

If you’re local to the Pottstown/Boyertown/Gilbertsville area, and you’re looking for a source of local veggies, cheeses, crafts, baked goods, coffee, and other wholesome goodness, look no further than the Boyertown Farmer’s Market, located in the parking lot of the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles at 100 S. Walnut Street. Some of our favorite vendors, like Spotted Hill Farm, will be there, and I’ve heard a rumor that the Hard Bean Cafe will be serving up the coffee on-site. We participated in the market last year, and it’s a delightful way to spend a few hours on a Saturday with sunshine and great company, so I’m delighted that we will be back for a second season (on irregular weekends – check our locations page for details.

The market’s regular season begins on June 5, and continues every Saturday through the end of October, from 10AM-1PM. They’re planning a winter market this year, too, with abbreviated hours so you can shop from your favorite non-frozen vendors. More info about dates, the winter market, and special events (like Bug Fest!) is available here.

Hope to see you there!

This Sunday afternoon in Downingtown, PA, we will be joining a select group of artists, musicians, and vendors at a private wine and cheese event to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. All artists and vendors will be donating a portion of the day’s proceeds to the cause, and we’re pleased that we can participate.

This is one in a series of local events being held for the same cause – if you’re in the area, please check them out:

Friday, April 30: Cross Roads Tavern, 101 West Lancaster Avenue, Downingtown: the owner will be donating 10% of sales from 8PM to close. Bob Stanley’s rock band will be playing, and they’ll be serving jello shots. No cover charge.

Magazine Feature

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:05:04 +0000

The new issue of Copper Wire Jewelers Magazine is out, with tons of featured artists (including Sweet Tarragon!) and great articles, including one by yours truly covering the basics of search engine optimization for artists and crafters. These are basic, non-technical tips that are useful whether you’re using a market like etsy, have your own website, or perhaps a wicked plum shop. We (as hot glue media) were also proud sponsors of this issue, and are happy to have provided a revamped look and feel for the magazine.
