The Deer Isle Artists Association will hold a pop-up market at its gallery on Saturday, Dec. 2, selling holiday items such as painted boxes, felt and knitted hats, mittens, pottery, calendars, baskets, cards, jewelry, photography and small prints, paintings and sculpture. The market will run from 10 am to 5 pm in conjunction with a special holiday opening by The Periwinkle. “The first market that the Deer Isle Artists Association held last year was so much fun and such a success we decided to do it again,” said Cynthia Bourque-Simonds, DIAA board member. “We will price items as affordable gifts, and we’ll bring free homemade treats.”

The artists themselves will set up the market. They will include Peter Beerits, Rory Beerits, Cynthia Bourque Simonds, Dorothy Doubleday, Mary Eaton, Judith Felch, Susan Finsen, Cathy Hart, Jill Kofton, Diane Maguire Horton, David McBeth, Kaitlyn Metcalf, Carolyn Raedle, Scott Thurston, Maura Tilloston, Francoise Gervais, Leslie Miller Landrigan, Gertrude Tarr, Oscar Turner, Linda Wells and Pat White.
At the Periwinkle, Candy Eaton plans to have freshly baked cookies, hot teas and cocoa. She offers a large selection of Alpaca stuffed animals, free wrapping and reduced prices on many items.
