Hundreds flock to annual antique and craft festival
A combination of vintage
treasures and arts and crafts
came together at Creekside
Park in one big, eclectic
show on Saturday — the
annual Sisters Arts and Crafts
Festival and Antiques in the
Park.
Wide assortments of col-
lectable antiques were on dis-
play in booths from vintage
wooden signs to century-old
pitchers. Mixed in the huge
treasure chest that overflowed
across the park lawns were a
variety of crafts from fused
glass on framed panel to skin
products made with essential
oils.
This year Shauna Harris,
show manager for Richard
Esterman, oversaw the event
that showcased over 70
vendors.
“This is probably my
favorite event all year,”
Harris said. “Even though
it’s hot and in the middle
of the busy season, there is
something relaxing about
this event. Sisters has a lot to
offer as a community, and we
love being able to be a part of
that.”
First-time vendors Doris
Moravek and Angelica Burri
started a new venture just
four months ago, “Smell My
Balls: Bath Enhancers,” a
bath product business where
they have taken bath bombs
to a whole new level with
naturally derived ingredients.
“We have three differ-
ent lines and 62 bath-bomb
scents,” Burri said.
The idea was conceived
when Burri’s boyfriend pur-
chased bath bombs for his
own bath.
“He was buying a very
expensive product, so his
mom Doris and I decided to
come up with our own all-
natural recipe for his bath,”
Burri said. “It just took off
from there.”
Bath bombs were first
invented in 1989, when
product inventor and Lush
co-founder Mo Constantine
was inspired by the fast-fizz-
ing action of Alka Seltzer.
Bath bombs are little round
“bombs” that fizz when you
drop them into water. The
fizz is brought on by a com-
bination of Epsom salts, citric
acid, and baking soda — the
basic ingredients of a bath
bomb.
However, there’s a lot
more to a bath bomb than the
fizz.
“We know that over 60
percent of what we put on
our skin will end up in our
blood stream, and that’s why
we designed our bath bombs
to be beneficial for both skin
and body,” Burri explained.
“All of our bath enhancers
are handmade with ingredi-
ents that serve a nourishing
purpose.”
Visitors and vendors
tapped their feet to musi-
cal entertainment by Scott
Brown, who plays a little bit
of everything.
Loads of folks gathered
around the booth giving out
samples of natural flavored

olive oils, butters, and bal-
samic vinegars.
New vendor James Welch
is the brand ambassador for
Sogno Toscano, a family farm
located in the Tuscany region
in Italy that produces quality
Italian cooking products.
“It’s my friend Pietro
Brembilla’s family farm,”
Welch said. “Pietro came
over about 10 years ago from
Italy and started working in
five-star restaurants and real-
ized that his family products
should be imported to the
United States.
“The family hand-picks
the olives and cold presses
them within three to six hours,
so what that does is create a
500-degree flash point on all
of our olive oil which will
last the buyer a lot longer.”
It has become a social
media sensation and even
led to high sales on glue! We
are talking about slime —
the all-new slime made by
kids all around the country.
The gooey make-it-yourself
toy is taking the Internet by
storm, and first-time vendor
11-year-old Dayanara Day
from Portland knows how to
craft a colorful variety, that
kids of all ages were going
gaga over.
“I make all my ‘unicorn
slime,’ borax-free so you
don’t burn your hands,” Day
said. “I use laundry detergent,
Elmer’s glue, food coloring
and either hair gel or shav-
ing cream. And I use essential
oils for the scented slime.”
It was a family affair

Besides live music, food,
and searching for that perfect
treasure trove, folks of all ages
stopped by the Family Fun
Zone where they tossed a few
bean bags or challenged their
friends to a game of chess,
checkers, or Connect Four.
