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…
