The fair, which also features ceramic and boutique items, will sell handmade merchan dise until Christmas. Becker said toymaking originates from "the beginning of time." Lamberson said he has been interested in children's toys for many years. "I've gotten and bought children's books and toys for a long time," he said. The toys, which are cut from pine or balsa wood, take about three hours to assemble, Lamberson said. The design of their toys, he said, makes them distinctive. "The subtleties in the toys are what pulls them off," he said. "The design determines the quality of the toys. It takes a lot of care." f ft U'' 4 1 m x i . . Mem. 1 13 ...... .iS. , , ...
