- As usual, the Manor Craft Sale – now augmented by outside vendors – drew many browsers from the community, seeking to get an early start on their Christmas shopping.
The commons area of Westmoreland’s Union Manor, just north of Bybee Boulevard on S.E. 23rd, was turned into a “crafter’s showcase” in late autumn, as it hosted its annual “Arts and Crafts Fair”, with vendor tables taking up the entire area.

“It’s just a fun event we have here at the Manor,” event organizer Barbara Johnson commented to THE BEE. “In the past, it’s been put on entirely by the residents of the Manor to sell things that they make; but today, we’ve also opened it up to outside crafters too. So, we have half of the show being residents with tables, and half being 24 vendors who are crafters and makers from around the area.
“The best part of this, for me, is the excitement, the energy, and the good feelings going on here,” observed Johnson. “It’s amazing to see the variety of items here today.
“It’s really been a really nice event. It turned out really well.”
Look for it again next fall!
