Window Paint Artists

Tami Carmody has been passionate about decorative painting since she began taking tole painting classes in 1984, developing a particular love for painting flowers and continually refining her craft through classes and seminars. Just three years into her painting journey, she began teaching others and eventually opened her own shop, The Painted Garden. With more than 30 years of teaching experience, Tami continues to share her expertise through her home studio, painting chapters, and conventions. What began as a hobby grew into a lifelong passion, leading her to retire after 25 years in the aerospace industry to pursue painting full-time. Today, she travels throughout several states showcasing and selling her distinctive hand-painted creations at craft shows, art festivals, and boutiques, while also offering her work through her Etsy shop, WisteriaPainting, which opened in 2020. Tami is deeply grateful for the support of her customers, whose appreciation has helped transform her passion into the rewarding career she loves.

Anneliese is a contemporary painter and current Artist-in-Residence at PC Create Space in Park City, Utah. Originally from Wilmington, North Carolina, she later relocated to Honolulu, Hawaii, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Markets from Hawaii Pacific University. While her primary medium is acrylic paint, her practice is rooted in a continuous exploration of diverse materials and techniques.

Anneliese views art as a profound vehicle for healing, unity, and universal connection. Her work meditates on the foundational forces of life, specifically love and interconnectedness, seeking to reveal the shared threads that bind all living forms. Through her vibrant compositions, she invites viewers into an elevated state of consciousness, offering a space to encounter beauty and truth while mirroring the inherent light within themselves and the natural world.

Trinket Trading

Trade kindness. Share creativity. Spread a little holiday magic.

Learn more...

Gather daily at the Holly Jolly Stage for an hour of festive Trinket Trading! Bring a small handmade, upcycled, or holiday-inspired keepsake and exchange it with fellow guests. This cheerful tradition celebrates the lost art of community gift-giving and reminds us that the most meaningful gifts are often the simplest.

Trinkets should be small, family-friendly, and shared from the heart. Please remember that trading is about connection, not value. Be respectful of fellow guests, our performers, and our wonderful vendors, who offer countless one-of-a-kind gifts throughout the event.

And don't forget to wander the marketplace afterward. Small gifts and festive treasures are waiting around every corner!

Thursday: 4 PM

Friday: 3 PM

Guest Guidelines for Trinket Trading

The Spirit of Trinket Trading

Trinket Trading is all about sharing a little holiday magic. Bring a small handmade, upcycled, or thoughtfully crafted item to exchange with another guest. The goal isn't to trade for value, but to create connections and spread joy.

What Makes a Great Trinket?

Handmade ornaments or charms
Upcycled holiday creations
Mini keepsakes, baubles, or festive decorations
Small items that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand
Items with sentimental or creative value rather than monetary value

Please Do Not Bring

Food or drink items
Sharp, fragile, or unsafe objects
Commercial products intended for resale
Anything inappropriate for children

Trading Etiquette

Ask before offering a trade. Not everyone may wish to participate.
Be kind and respectful. Every trinket is special because someone chose to share it.
Trade in gathering areas, not vendor booths or during performances.
Children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian when trading.
Remember that trinket trading is for fun, not for buying, selling, or promoting a business.
