It’s Almost Family Fest Time and “Creations from the Heart” Needs You! 

by Barb Quaintance

A staple at every Family Fest is the wonderful “Creations from the Heart” booth.  Led by Jim & Lenore Varey and Mary Jo Gallaher, the booth sells beautiful handmade and handcrafted items.  It’s a popular stop at the Fest!

The items sold at the booth include handmade afghans, blankets and quilted hats. Handcrafted wooden items, such as bird houses, cutting boards and holiday decorations are very popular as well.  All items in the booth are donated by Misericordia family and friends.

Some of the “Creations from the Heart” artists have ‘retired’ over the last few years, so the booth leads are looking for additional artisans to donate their crafts and bolster the profits for Misericordia.  And…they are open to all ideas!

If you're interested in donating or know someone who might be, or just have some creative suggestions, please contact Jim Varey at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
