Shopping in the Grove

---

As the Burl Turns: Our shop is full of creative wooden crafts. There is a little something for everyone. Some of our creations are useful, some are whimsical, and others are decorative. All of our creations are sourced from salvaged native trees. Come see the Vikings, Gnomes, and all their little animal friends. Shop for wooden bowls, spoons, and other useful things. We also have a variety of one of a kind decorative pieces to add character your home.

Whispering Springs: If you love the scents of nature in your home you will love the variety of homemade soaps from Whispering Springs. We have lovely scents for both men and women alike. There are bar soaps for both shower and sink as well as foaming soaps for everyday hand washing. Our all natural shampoos are always a wonderful addition. Come and smell the lovely scents and pick out your favorite.

An absolute staple of Whispering Grove Faire, Blackbeard's serves up your pirate grub, from juicy smash-burgers to the signature peg leg. You won't leave hungry!

Hello! I'm Jill Goomda, your local Elven jeweler and owner of Expanded Horizons.

Step softly, traveler, and wander a while through the realm of Expanded Horizons.  

Born of fire, copper, silver and patience, each piece is hand fabricated and is inspired by forest paths, forgotten relics, and the quiet magic that lingers. "Jewelry and a little magic." Each work of art carries a story. Some echo of elven artistry, delicate yet enduring. Others feel as though they were unearthed from a long lost age, artifacts waiting to find their next keeper.

No two pieces are ever the same. If you find yourself drawn to one, it may already belong to you.

Discover four signature collections:

• Echoes of Atlantis: Ancient oceanic relics reborn.
• Fern & Fable: Forest-inspired, nature-woven talismans.
• Dark Horizons: Bold, mysterious designs of shadow and starlight.
• The Orchard & Vine: Rooted in growth, abundance, and natural beauty

Don’t miss festival exclusives like delicate floral crowns and shimmering dew drop rings, made to capture fleeting magic.

Seek us within the Whispering Grove Faire… and perhaps discover a piece of magic meant only for your path.

  When she was just 18 years old and received horrible face painting, she decided then and there she would learn how to do this and always do her best  to make sure what she creates is beautiful and unique for her clients. Despite a human appearance she is indeed a fae. As a face painter she believes each person who chooses her deserves her whole-hearted attention and she strives to make your face painting magical.  Shandi offers face painting using only FDA compliant cosmetic grade face paints and glitters (no acrylic here). Also offered are fairy dust tattoos, which are waterproof and very sweat friendly. Shandi also carries a new line of waterproof face paints.

 Fearless fools cloaks and more is an amalgamation of hand made hyperfixations including handmade cloaks, capelets, hair accessories, and crocheted and embroidered goods. We have also recently teamed up with an amazing artist who makes wire art and jewelry. If you need a new cloak, a fashionable scrunchie, a book coozie, some wire jewelry, or a fun new embroidered tote bag, make sure to stop on by to explore. Happy adventuring fools! 

Gloom's Bunny is the name of my booth. You'll recognize it by the coffin shaped sign.

With few exceptions, everything in my booth is upcycled/recycled from thrifted/gifted, salvaged/scavenged pieces to create "gothic" or fantasy inspired decor.

My favorite is upcycling vintage glassware.

I will also have a few unique witch [or wizard!] hats each weekend.

Tucked into Whispering Grove, The Gnome & The Valkyrie feels more like a cozy little hideaway than a booth. Dark fabrics, softly chiming charms, and a hand-painted sign set the mood. The two women, part witch and part goblin, can often be found petting moss, searching for shiny things in the woods, and avoiding eye contact with cameras when not in their booth.

Everything is handmade with intention: jewelry, leather goods, garb accessories, beard oils, and scents that smell like the forest after rain. You’ll also find quirky treasures like stuffed creatures, charms, and unique decor.

Nothing is mass made, just thoughtful, magical pieces. People wander in curious… and leave feeling like they found something special.
