The Hopewell Preschool Craft Fair has been postponed to April 2026. I will share more info about that in the new year.

The good news that I found a new event and you can see me and lots of other amazing vendors THIS SATURDAY 11/15 at the Momadvice Holiday Craft Fair at MJB Sports in Downingtown from 9am-2pm. See flyers for details!

I’m also reposting my craft event schedule for the remainder of the year. Hope to see you there!

Giveaway ends this weekend!

🌟 WELCOME + GIVEAWAY TIME! 🌟

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Amanda Ferry — and since there are a lot of new faces around here lately, I figured it’s time for a proper hello (and, of course, a little fun giveaway!).

I live in Phoenixville, PA with my husband, Pat, and our four kiddos. I’m a stay-at-home mom and full-time chauffeur to my youngest daughter, who has special needs and a schedule packed with therapy appointments. Most days you’ll find me somewhere between “trying to keep the house from looking like a disaster zone” and “realizing I’ve reheated the same cup of coffee three times.” ☕😂

When I do get a rare moment of “free time” (I know, I’m laughing too), I’m a paper artist specializing in layered cardstock designs and quilled paper flowers. What started back in 2020 as a “maybe I’ll label everything with vinyl like everyone else” idea quickly turned into “wow, I really hate vinyl and love paper instead.” Fast-forward a few years, and here we are — a little hobby that’s turned into something bigger than I ever dreamed of. 💜

Now… let’s talk GIVEAWAY! 🎉

Shopping small means you’re not lining some CEO’s pockets — you’re helping a real family put dinner on the table, pay for karate lessons, or maybe finally replace that one rogue sock that’s been missing since 2021. 🧦

You can earn up to THREE entries to win!

✨ 1. Like my page and this post (must be my orginal post)
✨ 2. Share this post (make it public so I can see who shared it and give you credit)
✨ 3. If you’ve shopped with me before, leave a review!

Entries close Saturday, November 15th — and my kids will draw the winner the old-fashioned way (a bucket, some slips of paper, and probably a lot of sibling arguing). 😅

🎁 Prize: 30% off a box of your choice OR your pick of a magnet/ornament!

Thank you all so much for being here — whether you’ve been around since the beginning or just stumbled onto this page, I’m so glad you’re part of this little community. 💕

So tell me… what’s your current “I swear I just had that in my hand” item of the week? (Mine’s the scissors. Always the scissors. ✂️😂)nn

Have paper and glue, will travel! Ornament making is in full swing for the holidays! Working on some extra sparkly unicorns while also being called “best mom ever” on their day off from school. 💜🤣

This will be my last First Friday of the year! It’s been a great season and I hope to return soon!

09/16/2025

My tentative schedule for this fall and winter. This list does not include First Friday in October as I do not have that set in stone yet, but stay tuned! I'll post event flyers with additional details as the events come up! I hope to see you all at some of them!

09/03/2025

First Friday is this week, 9/5 from 5:30-8:30

I’ll be there! Stop by and say hello!

Hello!

If you have a moment, please take a couple seconds to vote for my dad’s photo, a beautiful sunset taken on from the bay in Cape May, NJ.

He has made it all the way to the semi-finals which is amazing! Voting ends tonight at 10pm and you have to be in either in first or second place to go on to the final round. He’s currently sitting in third. You can vote once per day!

If he wins, his designated charity is Phoenixville Area Community Services (PACS). This money would mean so much to our community in need. Please help us to help them!

Please vote for this photo in the America’s Favorite Photos competition:

Come see me at First Friday in Phoenixville! The sun is trying to peek out so hopefully the rain stays away.
