One Crafty Mama

One of the most fascinating tables at the Sackville Farmers Market is that of Jessi. Also known as "One Crafty Mama," her lovely display of framed artwork, all-occasion greeting cards, and unique bookmarks are all works of original art in their own right. In a distinct departure from the ordinary, Jessi’s carefully handcrafted items combine a number of mediums to produce items that exude a casual classicism, whimsical yet sophisticated, using decoupage, collage, scrap-booking techniques, paper sculpture, and miniatures all in tandem with each other on personalized keepsakes destined to become family heirlooms for all time. Often accented with three-dimensional objects such as feathers, beads, buttons, cloth, felt, lace, and other miniature objects in unusual combinations, Jessie’s creative cards often denote a theme - Mother’s Day, Happy Birthday, Wedding Invitations, Birth Announcements, Christmas Greetings, Graduations, and Thank You as well as custom orders tailored to any customer’s requirements, all lovingly done to achieve a highly artistic showcase for the complexity of mind and illumination of spirit of the artist.

A busy mother of two small boys, Jessi finds her artwork is a haven from the hectic demands of motherhood and a way to express her considerable creativity. How fortunate for the public, then, that she is willing to share her talent with us all. As Jessi says, "I never throw anything out. Any item, no matter how humble, can become a valuable component of my vision for whatever I create." All highly individual, Jessie’s one-of-a-kind creations are a real departure from the "cookie cutter" fare often found at commercial retail outlets and can be had at a fraction of the cost.
