  • Clover Market THIS SUNDAY!!

    The First Clover Market of this season is upon us!  This show makes me happy – I love doing it! Great mix of antiques, vintage and handmade PLUS it is very low stress for us vendors IMO due to proprietor Janet Long’s organizational prowess.

    We will be bringing a variety of items from our shop, which includes goodies from our own line of products (like our Hot Tots / I Fight Crime T’s and onesies) and a variety of pieces from the shop.  We hope to see you there!  The show is in Ardmore from 10-5.  Details: www.theclovermarket.com 

    Here are some more photos to get you in the mood for this fab show!  All these pics are by the lovely Carrie Hill Photography from the September 2012 show and were nabbed from Clover Market’s beautiful new website (jealous!!)

The show features some of the best makers from across the country, a beer garden, DC’s best food trucks, family friendly activities + more at Union Market in DC on September 28th + 29th from 10-5.

  • A Weekend of Crafts in Philadelphia

    Now, I know you are all coming to the Art Star Craft Bazaar this weekend, right?  After you leave the bazaar you are going to be hungry for more.  So head over to Rittenhouse Square & check out the Pennsylvania Guild Fine Craft Fair!


    Now, I’m a clay nerd so I am personally drawn more to the ceramic pieces that I found in their flickr set, but really there is something for everyone – jewelry, furniture, mixed media sculpture, photography and some pretty sweet bird houses, amongst many other things.  There will be over 140 artists set up Friday through Sunday in the lovely Rittenhouse Park, so you are bound to find a great mother’s day gift or a new addition to say, cough, your already (just a tad) excessive handmade mug collection.  Or just go to browse and enjoy the amazing weather (cuz it ain’t gonna rain!!)  Details Here.

    I leave you with some of my personal favorites from their roster of artists…

    Sharon Bartmann Ceramics
    Klara Borbas
    Elizabeth Gates, hand bookbinder
    Lana Heckendorn
