Fill The Squad Event
Come join the Waterloo community as we come together to support local students and ensure every child has the school supplies they need for the coming year. This event brings neighbors, businesses, and volunteers together to collect backpacks, notebooks, pens, and other essentials so students can start school ready and confident. Please be sure to visit and support the participating vendors—your purchases and donations directly contribute to the supplies and help fund sponsorship of the event. Together we can make a meaningful difference for Waterloo’s students and show them they’re valued and supported.
For this event, I will have a discount on three of my new bat designs. These bats will be $39 at their regular price. However, for the Fill the Squad event, when you purchase $20 or more, you can purchase a bat for $15. This special is good one per person and the bats are only available for this special, not for individual purchase. I will be bringing nature themed items as well as some smaller panel pieces.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
The last scheduled Pop Up at Paradiddles this summer is set to showcase a vibrant collection of handmade stained glass pieces, with the current color theme focused on red — a hue I feature often, so you can expect to see striking red suncatchers, and panels for this event.
There are additional Pop Ups coming for the rest of the year. Check my list for the dates!
Waterloo Wiener & Kraut
I’ll be at the Maunesha Business Center again this year for the Waterloo Wiener & Kraut Festival — and I’ll also be there on Friday, September 11, 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Friday is a little quieter, so if you prefer to browse at your own pace without the weekend crowds, it’s the perfect day to stop by to see all of my inventory.
This year I’m doing something different: I’ll also be selling hand-cut stained-glass cancer ribbons in a variety of colors, and all proceeds will go to the cancer walk my family and I have supported for many years. The walk is taking place the same weekend as the festival this year, so I won’t be walking this year, but I will be making a large personal donation and donate everything raised from ribbon sales to the cause. Your support in this will be greatly appreciated.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
I’ll be doing a pop-up each month for the rest of the year, scheduled around my fall events so I can’t yet lock in a theme for every month. I’ll update these posts as the pop-up dates approach to announce each month’s theme, pieces, and any special items I’ll bring. If you have a theme idea or something you’d love to see—seasonal colors, animal portraits, holiday-inspired suncatchers, or custom commission options—I’m all ears and would love your suggestions. A theme-idea may be challenging to make for September, as the week prior to this is Wiener & Kraut weekend and I have all my pieces at this event.

Waterloo Spooktacular
I’ll be at the Maunesha Business Center for this event with my full inventory on display—suncatchers, panels, and animal portraits—available to view and purchase, plus a selection of special Halloween goodies for the little goblins to enjoy.
Cambridge Art and Craft Fair
One of my favorite events to set up at is the Friends of the Cambridge Library fair, always so well attended by vendors and customers alike. Held at Cambridge High School, the event has a warm, community feel with rows of handmade goods, local artisans, and friendly faces—perfect for showing off my stained glass suncatchers, panels, and animal portraits. The organizers do a fantastic job, and there’s a buzz of conversation and discovery as people browse, ask about techniques, and find pieces that catch the light just right. Come join us and see everything that’s there—you might leave with something beautiful and a new favorite maker.

Though November is an extremely busy month for me so it may be possible that I cancel this event in November I’ll update these posts as the pop-up dates approach. If you have a theme idea or something you’d love to see—seasonal colors, animal portraits, holiday-inspired suncatchers, or custom commission options—I’m all ears and would love your suggestions.
Palmyra-Eagle Holiday Bazaar
At this time, this is as far from Waterloo as I go, and I love supporting the local school groups—those kids are wonderful helpers, and I’ve built a loyal following of regulars who stop by my booth. The Palmyra-Eagle High School, located on the edge of Palmyra at 123 Burr Oak Street, hosts many other vendors and features items for sale from school organizations and youth groups. It’s a friendly, community-filled event with something for everyone, so please come by and see us!
Waterloo Small Business Saturday
This event spotlights local Waterloo businesses eager for your support, offering a lively chance to meet makers, sample services, and discover unique finds—I'll be at the Maunesha Business Center since I don't have a brick-and-mortar shop. Participating businesses may offer surprises such as pop-up specials, limited-edition items, mini demos, giveaways, and exclusive event-only discounts; more details about specific offers will be shared beforehand so you can plan which surprises to hunt for. Come ready to explore, ask questions, and support the local community while enjoying an afternoon of small-business charm and unexpected delights.
Waterloo Winterfest
This is always such a great event to keep you in the Christmas spirit — with a variety of vendors, many handmade items, and plenty of gift-giving ideas. Waterloo Firemen's Park is a lovely spot, especially in winter with a dusting of snow, creating a cozy holiday atmosphere. Come out and explore all the unique gifts, support local artisans, and enjoy a festive day that’s perfect for finding that special present.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
This will be my last event of 2026, and I’m offering you a special opportunity: if you have a gift or a piece you’ve been dreaming of for yourself or as a gift, contact me and I’ll bring it to Paradiddle’s Cafe for you to pick up. Though I will have a variety of pieces, no special theme for this Pop Up so if you look and find something else, that will be totally fine.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
With this pop-up we’ll be halfway through summer, soaking up all the beautiful weather and bright sunshine, so it feels perfectly fitting that our color theme this month is yellow. I’ll have handmade stained glass pieces in vivid, sunlit yellows—suncatchers, small panels, and cheerful accents—ready for you to take home. These bright creations will bring a little extra warmth and light into your space, a perfect way to hold onto summer’s glow as the days begin to shorten.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
Dates in June will be the 12th and 13th. I had planned to keep every Pop Up on the third weekend of the month, but I’ll be returning from vacation on the 19th and would like to attend a baby shower on the 20th, so I’m moving the event earlier.
I’m excited to introduce an unusual color for my stained glass pieces: pink. I adore pink, but it’s not used often in my work because pink and red glass tend to be pricier, which makes them less common in pieces. Still, I’m planning to make more items featuring a touch of pink—perhaps even a few playful pink elephants—to bring a bright, unexpected splash of color to your sunny days.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
And the month of May, our color is blue. There will be many shades and moods of blue. It is just about my favorite color to use so there will be many pieces to see how it catches the light in suncatchers and brings depth to pieces. May dates are the 15th and 16th.
Columbus Arbor Day Fair
Come see me at the Columbus Firemen's Park Pavilion for the Arbor Day Art, Craft, and Vendor Fair! Browse a variety of local vendors offering lovely handmade products, enjoy a festive spring atmosphere, and let the kids join in a few fun crafting activities. It’s a great way to celebrate spring in Columbus—stop by, say hello, and take home something special.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
The color theme for April will be Orange. There’s no special meaning behind the monthly colors—I wrote a bunch of color names on slips of paper, pulled them from a hat, and assigned them to each month in order—so orange happened to land in April. That means any stained glass pieces that include orange will be the centerpieces of my display at Paradiddles; I’m still digging through my inventory to see exactly what orange pieces I have, but whatever I find will all be brought to the pop-up. If you love warm, sunny tones or autumnal accents in glass, swing by to see the orange highlights in person. I will be there April 17 and 18.
Pop-Up at Paradiddle's Cafe
First PopUp at Paradiddles of the year! I’ll be there from 7:00 am to 1:30 pm the 3rd Friday and Saturday of each month through August, and this season I’m giving each PopUp its own color theme — starting off with an Easter-centered collection for this opening event. March’s PopUp is March 20 and 21. Come browse handmade stained-glass suncatchers, and panels in springtime colors, perfect for brightening windows or gifting for the holiday. I’ll have new pieces and a few limited specials, so hop by, say hello, and find something unique to celebrate the season!
