As Denise Mangano fingered through brightly colored crochet hats, purses and bags from The Chic Bohemian, she found what she had been looking for all day—an embellished blue, green crochet purse with flowers climbing up the sides and top.
“This is me,” she exclaimed.
In late July, Managano was one of thousands who attended the Guilford Art Center’s 64th Annual Craft Expo, held every year on the Guilford Green. In addition to over 170 artists and vendors, the expo included food and live music, as well as activities for families.
