I LOVE setting up a booth at the various shows. It is SO MUCH FUN to put a pair of mittens on random people walking by and seeing their facial expressions! It is absolutely priceless. I really enjoy chatting with people and telling them how the mittens came to be. The shows are so rewarding and also exhausting at the same time. I am so thankful for the help of my family at the shows, I would not be able to do it alone. My Mom, daughter, grand daughter, and my sisters are appreciated beyond words for all the help they have given me. My husband will graciously make anything I need for the display, and load and unload the truck for me very time. It is truly a family affair.

"Several years of searching for the perfect keepsake for my deceased wife’s family led me to meet Lori through a special friend who saw the memory mittens at Lori’s booth in a craft show in Vermont. As soon as I saw the quality and care that had gone into the making of the mittens I knew that this is what I wanted to have done with my wife’s clothing. After contacting Lori and admiring how emotional and passionate she was about her craft, I shared with her information about my wife and also provided her with some background about our extended family. Lori took a sincere interest in understanding my wife’s relationships with all those who were to receive the mittens and was ecstatic to get started on the project and honored to work on something that she thought would be truly cherished by those who would receive them. The quality and design of each pair of mittens was excellent! The “memory mittens” were received with overwhelming emotion and was the absolute perfect gift for those that have such precious memories of a very special person."
