Dear Sun Spots: The Leavitt craft fair was great as usual. But the crowds made it really difficult to see the names on the tables. There are a couple of crafters that I would like to get in touch with.

I bought a catnip-stuffed cat mat for my cat and would like to buy a couple more. But this lady did not have her name on the mats, and I don’t know who she is or how to reach her.

Also, another lady had purses made of tapestry and brocade, lined with satin, and they had inside pockets. Again, no name on the purses. I bought two little ones for the young girls. She also had a semi-round one with many inside pockets, and it was shoulder length. The price on this one was $20, this I well remember. I’m just sorry I didn’t buy it then and there.

Can Sun Spots please find out who these ladies are? Or if they recognize themselves, please contact me at home. My name is Claire Holland, 17 Holland Road, Peru, ME 04290, (207) 562-4992. I would also like to take this opportunity to pass on a bit of advice to all crafters who do the craft fairs. Please put your name and phone number or address on your articles. All you need is a small piece of paper with written information on it. It will bring you extra business for sure. How many other people have done like I did and now have no way of finding you? Thank you for any help you can give me. – Claire, No Town.

Dear Sun Spots: Once again I am trying to find someone who will snow blow a driveway. Unfortunately, this drive is not plowable.

I also have quite a few things appropriate for a garage sale but am unable to conduct one. Perhaps someone who does flea markets, or garage sales, would be willing to buy up these things for a small fee? I was told someone in Lisbon, titled Good Stuff, would be interested but I have been unable to locate them. I can be reached at (207) 782-8685. – No Name, No Town.
