Visit CCM Hats at the 2016 LNHC Fair

Posted on 30 July 2016 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

Hey, what are you up to next Saturday, Aug. 6 through Sunday, Aug. 14?

The LNHC Fair is the oldest in the nation, 83 years & still going strong!

Please allow me to tempt you to visit scenic Newbury, New Hampshire for 9 days of mingling with most beautiful, functional, locally-made fine craft along with the folks who make it…

Imagine, if you will: 8 big white tents nestled along the slopes of beautiful Mount Sunapee, full to bursting with the handmade work of over 200 League of NH Craftsmen juried in wood, clay, glass, metal & fiber.

Plus! You can enjoy hands-on workshops, demonstrations, exhibits, tours, a sculpture garden, live music and even ride the ski lift for a spectacular view of the surrounding Lakes Region.

I love the view of the Lakes Region from the lift!

I am honored once again to share my Heirloom Handknit Hats with fairgoers who visit Tent 8, Booth 808 at the 2016 LNHC Annual Craftsmen’s Fair. I’ll be there 10am – 5pm, rain or shine… I hope you’ll come say hello!

Mark your calendar: the LNHC Fair begins the 1st Saturday of August every year!

First off, thank you very much to everyone who entered this CCM Felt Hats notecard giveaway… All your kind comments mean so much to me!

CCM Heirloom Handknit Hats Super Fans

After writing out the names of all the contestants, I tossed them into a hat… But not just any hat! This old brown hat boasts one of the first freehand embroidery designs I ever attempted. (Perhaps you recognize it?)

In the end, I couldn’t pick just one winner, so…

Congratulations to both Mary AND Cj… I’ll send you each a set of notecards pronto!

CCM Felt Hats Notecard Giveaway

Posted on 22 July 2016 by Carrie Cahill Mulligan

While cleaning my studio this Spring, I found a stash of notecards featuring some of my freehand embroidery on felt:

Set of 4 glossy notecards featuring macro images of the free hand crewel embroidery of New Hampshire fiber artist, Carrie Cahill Mulligan.

Notecards measure 4″ x 5.5″ and come with matching envelopes 🙂

They’re nice cards, on heavy, glossy paper. I was surprised to realize they’re a decade old, and that I’d been saving them… For what? What good are they to anyone buried in my desk.

(“Spend out!” I could hear Gretchen Rubin whispering in my ear…)

“I should give these away to CCM Felt Hat fans and supporters!” I immediately thought. So here we are…!
