Yes!  Join me and a gaggle of other crafters tomorrow, Saturday the 28th, at Art vs. Craft in Milwaukee for some handmade shopping!  One day only!

Here is this year’s flyer, designed (as always) by The Little Friends of Printmaking:

And be sure to pick up a limited edition Art vs. Craft deck, either at the show or at Sky High in Milwaukee (while supplies last)…

Yep, yep, that’s right… DIY Trunk Show is this Saturday the 21st…

Get all your holiday shopping done in one place!  There are a ton of awesome vendors, as well as food and music… See you there!

If you love yarn, come out to YarnCon this Saturday the 17th!  Check out all the yarny vendors here, and blog here.  I’ll be selling handspun yarn, a few batts and some other of my regular goodies.  Here’s the deets:

Also, Cast Onto Your Dreams, a “program that aims to foster confidence and personal empowerment in Chicago teens and tweens by teaching them to knit and crochet,” will be on hand to collect your donated yarn, knitting needles and crochet hooks.

Got these postcards and buttons in the mail last week… Get ready for YarnCon! 

Tomorrow I will be traveling to lovely Green Bay, WI to participate in a new show called Art-Craftic on Broadway.  If you live in or near GB or will be visiting this Saturday, stop on by and check out a variety of vendors selling everything from ceramics to jewelry to textiles to paintings.

It’s this weekend folks!  Are you totally excited?!?  Swing on by Renegade Craft Fair this Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 7pm and visit a ton of artists/crafters selling amazing goods.

Biggie will be setup in booth #267 … hope to see you there!

I had a great time at the Detroit Urban Craft Fair yesterday, but I’m glad to be back home.  Traveling for shows is fun, but tiring!  Anyways, the show was in a new venue this year (and in Nov. instead of Aug.), and it proved to be a wonderful – there was a steady stream of customers all day in the fabulous Fillmore Theater.  I had a nice vegan lunch, sold some stuff, won a raffle, chatted with some friendly mitten state folks and bought a couple more postcards to add to my Rar Par Press collection (love ‘em).

Fancy Fillmore Theater.

Some of my woven-bottom bags.

For a buck you can stick your hand in one of it’s holes (ok, that sounds weird) and get a prize.

Hope to be back again next year!

Detroit Urban Craft Fair is less than 2 weeks away! I’m working on new items to take to the show, so if you live in the D or plan to visit, stop by DUCF and shop…

Visit www.detroiturbancraftfair.com for a list of vendors and other info.

Ok, I know Art vs. Craft is more than a month away, but I just got this little gem of a flyer in my inbox a couple days ago, and had to share it with you.  Ain’t it purdy?

See you there…
