Pet Search Spring 2022 Art, Craft and Vendor Show

Benefiting Pet Search and Homeless Animals

Saturday, March 26, 2022, 10:00 am-4:00pm

American Legion, 168 Park Avenue, Washington, PA

I’m a little out of practice—I forgot to post this event! And last week was impossible once the computer issues cropped up.

This is a fun one-day event that I last attended in April 2018; 2019 I had a difficult time walking, 2020 I could walk with my new hip, but the date fell right after the first Covid shutdown. I’m really looking forward to this!

Pet Search has been around for 35 years, and began with a monumental TNR project of 400 cats at the Washington County Fairgrounds. Here is more:

Pet Search is an all-volunteer nonprofit animal rescue and placement service, dedicating itself to the rescue, care, and placement of homeless and unwanted domestic animals in southwestern PA. Founded by animal lovers in 1987 as People for Animal Welfare and renamed Pet Search in 1996, Pet Search has a history of compassion.

From 1987 to 1996, we placed or helped place over 3,000 homeless and unwanted dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, as well as birds, rabbits, pigmy goats, potbelly pigs, reptiles, and ferrets. These animals were placed through our group, as foster home placements or direct placement. Pet Search, since 1996, has continued this dedication and has placed more than 10,000 animals unwanted by their owners into loving, adoptive homes.

I have a good year of smaller events planned out, though the dates for most aren’t set yet. I will post about each one as they come up, except the farmers’ markets which I’ll post about monthly.

Spring Open House, Not at My House!

April 29, 30 and May 1

I have the opportunity to set up my art and merchandise in a storefront! I’ll have all my handmade goods and as much original art and prints and framed photography I can fit on the walls.
More details to come! If you are local and would like me to send you a post card, please send me an email with your address.

Carnegie Farmer’s Market and Spring and Holiday Events

Hard to believe it’s this time all over again! All markets and events will be Sundays beginning in June. I’ll share the list of dates in future posts.

Below are photos of my market tent from last summer. I do have a few new things this year, but this is a good refresher of what I’m selling.

Below, nature gifts.

And here are a few more photos. I’ll be listing new products soon and also taking them to the Farmers Market.

I’ve been keeping a display of greeting cards, including Halloween and Holiday cards.

Marketplace is a feature on The Creative Cat to share the latest coming out of my studio with my readers. Once a week on Thursday I feature something new in my “shop”.
