Handmade NW Portland Arts Bazaar

I was a vendor at the Portland Arts Bazaar at Pioneer Courthouse Square on November 29th in the heart of downtown Portland. What a fun event! It was a cold but, sunny winter's day for this outdoor sale. My recycled sweater mittens were a hit for the holiday shoppers who were looking for holiday gifts or to stay warm. I got to spend the day with Betsy and her husband of Betsy & Iya Jewelry (betsyandiya.com) who were my tent mates for the day. We both had a successful day of sharing our handmade items with the shoppers of Portland. The highlight of the day was the 75' Christmas Tree that created a wonderful centerpiece to the cold night.

Holiday Season Approaching

This year I have taken the "Handmade Pledge". I pledge to give only handmade gifts this year... possibly with one small exception. My daughter has been hoping for an American Girl Doll... If you have not yet discovered Etsy, please take a trip to www.etsy.com and think about supporting these crafters/artists when gathering gifts to give this season. There are also a number of great craft sales coming up where you can find a great gift for the person who has everything. I was just at the Hood River Saturday Market Holdiday sale and found some great handmade wooden cooking utensils and cutting boards. You never know what you will find from all of the creative people around.



Here are a couple of sales I will be at this winter.
