Fall Bazaar: November 4

Fall Bazaar: November 4

Mark your calendars now for the DWC Fall Bazaar!

Saturday, November 4
9 am to 3 pm

We hope to see you at this year’s bazaar! After a one-year break, we are back and ready to share a wide selection of handmade items from talented members and area vendors. This year, we will have a special room of collectibles in addition to the popular selection of pine cone wreaths and swags. After shopping, take a break in our dining room, where you may purchase scones and coffee and enjoy the beautiful setting.

Here’s a look at some of the artists who will be selling their work. A lot of talent!


Claudia Myers

“I have been invited to be one of the lucky vendors and will be selling my “re-structured vintage jewelry,” my window and tree “Sparklies,” pillows and table runners from beautiful antique silk kimono sashes, a few other things that I’ve made … and my book!”

Lucy Kragness

“I’m so happy to be selling my one-of-a-kind felted scarves and wraps, unique crochet hats and other fiber treasures. As a member of the Duluth Womans Club, I’ve been involved in all four of the bazaars, and it’s such a joy to so many old and new friends.”
