Handmade Scarves by Nancy Ann Belsky
Two good friends with friendships that span back to the 1970s. They recently spent the day together at Rabbit Ridge Artisans at the Summit Winery.
Here they are modeling the scarves they just purchased, both of which are handmade by Nancy Ann Belsky.
Fiber Art Creations
Nancy Ann Belsky is exhibiting her fiber art creations at Rabbit Ridge Artisans at the Summit Winery holiday marketplace.
This marketplace is structured like a coop, so the artisans take turns manning the shop while their creations are on exhibit for 8 weeks. We invite you to stop by on Saturday to say hi, enjoy a wine pairing with chocolate cake (while supplies last), and browse the holiday marketplace.

About The Summit Winery
Come enjoy wine tastings and take in a one-of-a-kind view. Wine tastings and tours are offered each weekend for the real wine enthusiast.
The Summit Winery sits on 80 acres in the town of Westmoreland, NH which is located just five (5) miles outside of Keene, NH.
This once tobacco barn, built in 1856, was transformed into a one of Westmoreland’s favorite restaurants and is now one of New England’s top Wineries to visit. The Summit Winery hosts grape varietals sourced from the US and around the world and soon its own vineyard. Darren and Judy Horn have been making great wines for many years. Many thanks to all family, friends, and the good people of Westmoreland for all of their encouragement in allowing us to share our wines at a professional level.
The Summit Winery is located at 719 RT 12, Westmoreland, NH 03467. We are open:
Thursdays: 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm
