I want to tell you all about http://socaligirl.etsy.com. She's been busting her butt organizing an amazing craft fair to be held Oct. 13. It's called the Crafting Patch. It's gonna be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, or as I lovingly refer to it, Nor' Cackalacky.
Here is the scoop. Go to the event or die wishing you had!
THE CRAFTING PATCH MARKET TO SHOWCASE NEW CRAFT TALENT
OCT. 13 IN CHARLOTTE
What’s sure to be one of the more unique fall craft fairs is coming to Independence Park, Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, October 13.
Lined with more than 50 craftspersons and artisans, The Crafting Patch Market will feature sellers ranging from:
- spinners who make unique yarns by hand
- jewelry makers using everything from precious stones to revamped circuit boards to make women’s, men’s and children’s jewelry.
- Handmade clothing from knitters, crocheters, seamstresses
- Hand crafted soaps and bath & beauty products
And more…
The vendors consider themselves among the new wave of crafters who are exploding the growth of Etsy.com, an online website for all things handmade. Shoppers can browse through booths whose shopkeepers buck the trend of mass-production, by offering handmade and handcrafted goods that are unique. These independent entrepreneurs are locally based, but also come as far away as New Jersey to participate in what is sure to be a fun event filled with items you can’t find anywhere else.
Shopping begins at 9:00 a.m., admission is free, and parking is available near Independence Park, Charlotte. The event will be held rain or shine. The event is also a drop-off site for donations of clothing and bedding for the Battered Women's Shelter of Charlotte.
