The Bloomington Handmade Market!
Ok, so I’m going to post one last time about The Bloomington Handmade Market. It’s this Saturday April 3rd from 10am – 4pm. If you like contemporary artwork and/or unique and modern handmade goods, you really should go. Visit their website to get an idea of what you can find there. They’ve been holding interviews with each vendor, so you get a little of a background story on where the artist gets their inspiration and how they got started. My interview is here.
I’m glad I’ve had experience with craft shows, because I feel so much more prepared and relaxed about this one. Last year when I went to the INDIEana Handicraft Exchange (which, by the way, I will be at again this year!! I just got the approval to vend!!) I had no idea what I was getting into. I had most everything I needed, and the show went well, but I think this time things will be really smooth. I’ve been able to get all my sewing done, which is REALLY good because cramming to sew is not fun. I’ve got my tags on all the items, minus the slings. Friday while John is off of work he is going to take the boys out on a bike ride while I iron, tag, and nicely fold all my gorgeous slings! Other than that, everything is packed and ready to go. I don’t really have much to bring, so setting up should take no time at all. We did a practice run of setting up the table in our driveway last night. It looked really good. The neighbors were probably wondering what we were doing, though. Ha!
I hope see some of you there!
