crafty weekend coming right up!

in case you haven’t heard from me already ( HA! ), i’ll be at the handmade market this weekend in raleigh. (anyone have vegan restaurant recommendations? i’d love to hear them!).

while i can’t wait for my trip to raleigh, i’m so sad that i’ll be missing out on the first ever summit of awesome: a THREE-day crafty affair for artists and crafters including the screening of handmade nation, and a lecture from one of my favorite duos on one of my favorite topics: something’s hiding in here on the Craft Fair Booth Setup and Display panel.

psssttt. . . you can still enter to win tickets to the screening here

if you are in or around northampton, ma- lucky you!! i wish i could visit the twist fair with you, because i’ve heard that it is a SPECTACULAR show. (say hi! to our buds red prairie press and twigs & heather!)

if you are a baltimorean and sticking around this weekend, i highly recommend the third installment of the Maestro Sensational trilogy!!!

“Witness the rebirth of vaudeville with host and giant-sock extraordinaire Maestro Sensational and his loyal ragtag gang of Sockophants! Your charming host will present a veritable uprising of comic bits and slapstick revival. See him unveil the talents of Baltimore’s paradigms of puppetry! Enliven your heart with the toe-tapping tunes of host-band Walker and Jay!”

metalsmith extraordinaire April Wood will be guest performing too!

(no one under 17, please)
