Valerie Thompson White Lake, MI
Booth 105, Wood
Her woodworking crafting began by making a toybox for her grandson when he was born. This led to VALERIE THOMPSON ‘s love of this creative expression of wood and its beautiful color, grain and luster. Valerie found it to be a unique medium and allowed her craftmanship to be revealed. She loved advancing into making cutting boards and increased her inspiration when discussing with customers the various woods and processes used to create her product line. Valerie relates, “I love taking wood that is rough and ugly and turning it into a beautiful and functional piece.” Traveling to Saline for the first time to participate in the Saline Craft Show, she will be in Booth 105 on Saturday, March 8, 2025 with cheese boards, bow knives, coasters, serving trays, napkin holders, kitchen utensils, soap savers and other table top décor. The show opens at 8am-3:30 pm at Saline Middle School, 7190 N Maple, Saline.
Sunny, with a high of 51 and low of 28 degrees. Sunny during the morning, cloudy for the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Look around Saline, people can barely afford to maintain their homes. Every dollar the government takes is one less dollar needed to spend on the upkeep of our homes and properties. Washtenaw County has the highest taxes in all of Michigan. It’s becoming unbearable for many here.
This is a very unfocused op-ed - really, just a hodgepodge of loosely connected pejorative statements. Personally, I prefer the news to objectively report the facts, I can reach my own conclusions on local issues without being spoon fed someone else's opinions.
