We host a holiday bazaar in beautiful, rural Canby, Oregon. We invite local artist to showcase their beautiful designs for you and your home. These artists include quilts, knitted and crocheted designs, jewelry, garden and yard art, outdoor fountains, homemade foods, fresh wreaths, dried flowers, hand-sewn kitchen items, and much much more.
Please email us at BakersAcresBazaar@gmail.com for more information.
Our bazaar is focused on local artists and crafters following the traditions of making things by hand. We work hard to keep our bazaar handcrafted, reusing everyday materials and creating great decorations and gifts. Our number one goal is to pass on the love of handmade items and the joy of creating something yourself. We offer many usual bazaar items such as crocheted slippers, hotpads, and handmade food items, as well as unique jewelry, quilts, fun ornaments and home decor.

If you want to find us we're listed under Leaf Prints and are in space H21, which is right in the center of things outside.
We'll feature outdoor plants including succulents, lavender, and (if they're in bloom) iris & columbine. We'll also have a wide variety of lavender products and recycled outdoor art.
It's been a very hectic year and the 2009 Baker's Acres Bazaar has come and gone... I apologize for not keeping this blog up to date this year. I'll do better this coming year, that's for sure.
So to start off, we had a successful bazaar. The wind didn't blow anything away, and it only really rained one afternoon. Always a chancy thing here in northwest Oregon.
I'll have photos soon - we took a few. In the meantime, check out the blog, Running with Rocket, kept up by one of our vendors.
As expected with the economy the way it is, sales did not increase from last year. But, we had great attendance it's just that customers were spending less. All in all, a good time was had by all.
We have many food gift items to bring to your Thanksgiving table, including fresh apple, pumpkin and kalua chocolate pies. Try out Kathy's chocolate dipped pretzels or pick up some of the homemade jams. There's something for everyone's sweet tooth.
One of our most popular gift items is hand crocheted and knitted slippers. You'll also find other crocheted and knitted gift items such as this fun teddy bear, hotpads, gloves, and scarves. Also, felted purses are popular gift items.
Several vendors bring different styles of wreaths. In addition to the traditional fir wreaths (12", 18" and larger) we have pine cone, fabric, and floral wreaths to decorate for the holidays.
And there's always potted flowers for you to choose from, including paperwhites and Christmas cactus.
WELCOME VENDORS
We are looking for vendors for our 5th annual holiday bazaar. We are committed to a quality hand-crafted show of local artisans and will make every attempt to prevent duplication of crafts. We are looking for craft items handmade by YOU. We currently are not looking for jewelry vendors but we are especially interested in outdoor items and bath and beauty products.
Last year, our three day bazaar was a success so we’re going to do it again and be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 20 – 22, 2008, the weekend before Thanksgiving. Vendors will be able to bring merchandise Wednesday (19th) night between 4-7 pm to help set up items. Unsold items must be picked up Saturday (22nd) evening before 8 pm.
Signs help sell your crafts. Feel free to make signs detailing your crafts and bring them during setup. We will make every effort to use them to enhance your display. If you have a special display unit for your crafts, please bring it.
Each individual craft item must be priced with string tags or some kind of tag that can be cut off when purchasers check out. Please price your items with prices in 25-cent increments (no $1.99, but $2.00 or $1.75). No sticky tags. This is a boutique-style bazaar so not all of your items will be displayed together.
Vendor Fees: Before October 31st, a $35 non-refundable vendor fee
After November 1st, a $50 non-refundable vendor fee
PLUS a separate $50 refundable deposit returned upon completion of four (4) volunteer hours at the bazaar. Payment of vendor fee plus separate deposit are due with application. (All non-accepted application deposits will be refunded.)
In return, we willpromote your Crafts and Art via newspaper ads, flyers, signage, postcards, press releases and the internet. As always, the best advertising is word of mouth by you, our vendors. We will have flyers and postcards available for you to send out to family, friends, and neighbors. Ask for more. The more you send out, the more people will attend the bazaar.
