Beautiful decorative artworks are at display at the craftsmen fair in my town this week.
Handcrafted jewelry, hand carved glass objects, embroidered folk costumes, everyday wooden objects and utensils, woven baskets in a large variety are brought to us by skilled artisans.
I like these fairs not just for the visual pleasure they offer but for the opportunity to meet and chat with new artists.
