Meet our vendors…

Angela Dawn Creations

Angela Dawn has been making and creating art her whole life. She discovered her love of painting watching Bob Ross as a child. Her paintings are inspired by her travels and love of Nature. She went on to create Jewelry and Prayer Beads, loving the creative process and look and feel of stones. I even use Connemara Marble Stones from Ireland. She has a love for Nature and you will see this in everything she creates. In her art she honors her Heritage and Nature.


Bridie’s Irish Faire

Bridie’s Irish Faire, a small retail shop that opened in Salem, Oregon in 2006, has been located in Newport since 2008. The shop stocks jewelry, apparel, and gifts imported from Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In addition to the retail shop, Bridie’s also organizes custom, small group tours to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Tour number 22 departs for Ireland in May of 2024.


Celtic Kate Gemwaith

Celtic Kate, with over 25 years of metalworking experience, offers high-quality handcrafted jewelry to match your desires and budget.


Heart Song Arts Co

Bringing the beauty of nature to life in clay for your personal joy and fulfillment. Handmade items for Renaissance Festivals and Fairs. These items are themed with either Celtic or Scandinavian-themed patterns and colors.


Granny Fi’s

Note: We will be selling Granny Fi’s shortbread for her at the CVS General Store 

Traditional Scottish Shortbread, with that oh-so-good homemade taste. We make the best Traditional Scottish Shortbread this side of the pond, maybe even ever! I am originally from the UK. The recipe is from my Mothers and Grandmothers who are Scottish. Like chocolate chip recipes everyone has one, but ours just melts in your mouth. It is packaged in individual pieces or in larger amounts, either in gift tins or larger bulk bags. People often think of shortbread during the holidays but why wait?

We have several flavors available, traditional, lemon and hazelnut. Also a mix to which you could add any flavor you want. Gluten-free? no worries we have a recipe for you too.


T and T Creations

T and T Creations does custom and stock wood crafts and wood toys.  We have been in business since 2008.  We started at Flea Markets and SCA Events.  We have expanded our product lineup to include books, journals, rocks, and a variety of metaphysical items. We enjoy cultural events the best and are looking forward to being a vendor this year with our swords & shields and a much larger variety of Fairy Tail books!

The Celtic Jewelry Studio

Handcrafted Jewelry with an Ancient Story. Real gemstones, metal adornments combine to create our jewelry collections, beautifully unique and rich in Celtic symbolism. Each piece comes with a story card explaining the meaning of the Celtic symbol, power of the gemstones, or mythology of the Celts. 


The Freckled Lass

Celtic-inspired historic costumes including reversible capes, reversible corset vests, romantic angel sleeve chemises, 16th-century shirts, Viking trews, bloomers and more.

“I started sewing at a young age but didn’t start with garment construction until I was a young adult. I felt my basic knowledge wasn’t enough, so I enrolled in dressmaking school and my love for sewing intensified. I have been sewing passionately for over 20 years now with most of that in the history field. The Freckled Lass was born between my genetics and my passion, both bringing a smile to my face as well as to others.”


Trinkets, Baubles & Charms

Fantasy inspired custom pillows, canvas tote bags, and stickers.  Dungeons & Dragons Dice trays, bags, and dice.
