Williamsport, Pa. — New business owner Kathy Fox of Fabulous Finds has spruced things up this holiday season by bringing new vendors into her store at 2280 East Third Street, Williamsport.
Now, Fabulous Finds will host its first annual holiday market on Dec. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“The holiday market will consist of several local vendors showcasing their handcrafted items,” Fox said. Some of the local vendors inside the shop include Julie’s Attic and Walnut Lane Designs, both featuring upscaled furniture pieces, vintage home, housewares, and jewelry. The boutique section consists of vintage clothing, hats, and jewelry created by Second Hand Glam.
“David Seybold, an artist from Lewisburg, will be at the holiday market, promoting his new winter scene paintings,” Fox explained with excitement.
The shop is known for handcrafted work, furniture, vintage home décor, housewares, and jewelry.
“Our outside vendors, including Buckin’ Bean Coffee Co. and Leonard’s Backyard Bistro, will be on site providing delicious treats,” added Fox. “There will also be hand crafted items in the shop on consignment, which include amazing snowmen, and santas from Spare Moments Creations. Beautiful hats, scarves, and gloves will be on hand from My Neck of the Woods, as well as Alechia’s Jewelry. Wooden American flags, Christmas trees, and holiday signs from several local wood crafters will also be available,” Fox said.
This isn’t Fox’s first time owning and running a business. She currently owns Kraemer’s Farms, Inc., where she grows and sells cut branches of winterberry and pussy willows for wholesale to the floral industry.

Why did she decide to take on Fabulous Finds? “I became a real yard sale hawk,” Fox said with a laugh. “I would find unwanted items at yard sales and on Facebook Marketplace. My friend and I would refurnish and redo items to then resell. I had a lot of fun doing this. When I saw this opportunity to be able to bring local small businesses to the area, I couldn’t resist.”
Fabulous Finds has a variety of vintage home décor, houseware, and furnishings. “We have brought in two local soap lines: Pompeii Streets located in Mifflinburg, and Whitetail Lane Farm’s Goat Milk Soap out of State College. We also have candles from Thompson Candle Company in Huntingdon,” said Fox.
