Wellman, Terry Chapman, Gillian Ramsdale, Wendy Avery, Robin Marirea.

Offerings at the event included home-made chocolate and candy, crochet throws, Bermuda sand lockets, embellished note cards, Bermuda cedar products, cedar aromatherapy, handmade jewelry, decorated tiles, hand-decorated mugs, photographic note cards, knitted and crochet toys, dish cloths, cedar sachets, blown glass ornaments, glass decorations, baked goods and more.
