Fall is when artisans really orient towards Christmas time.  And there are so many craft shows to choose from!  We at American Art Traditions attend only historical venues with Early American traditional crafts.  So visit us at any of the shows listed below.  When you purchase a piece from us, you are buying a piece of history! Each box has inside on a card or painted on the bottom, the origin of the decorative pattern painted on it.
