Crafty Wonderland

The following week after Urban Craft Uprising I will be going down to Portland for Crafty Wonderland. Here is a little list of some of the people I am excited to see.


I am a bag lover and really lovin' these bags by Appetite


Betsy Walton was in a group show at Schmancy this past year and I really fell in love with her work. I am really looking forward to meeting her!


I always love the work by My Imaginary Boyfriend


I want this necklace by Betsy and Iya


Emily Katz was also in a show I curated so it will be nice to meet her!


I can't wait to check this stuff out in person by Crafty Folk

There are so many more so I will make another list tomorrow!

Urban Craft Uprising

So the holidays really are not that far away. As I have mentioned I am going to make a full hearted effort to enjoy the holidays this year. I have been stacking away gifts to give for my family and friends for awhile now so that I don't stress out about getting stuff together. I am going to take a little break however because craft shows are coming up and I love to trade and purchase from fellow vendors. I will first be at Urban Craft Uprising which I am so excited for. If you are in the area and going to be attending please do say hello! Anyways, I am still making notes of what I might like to purchase or trade from people and here is a small list to start:

From Urban Craft Uprising


I think it would be fun to get my little doggie nephew a gift from Apartment C. She uses great fabric!


Last winter I did a trade with Berkley Illustrations. I am a huge fan and think it would be fun to get a print for my dad every year for some reason. Or maybe someone new? Either way, they are a must!


I also did a trade with the fantastic duo, Chikabird. I love their notebooks and was happy to give it to someone but have kinda been pining after one ever since. I think it's time. Maybe another trade?


Annie, owner of Dotted Line has mentioned trading and I think I want to finally take her up on the offer!


I was a huge fan of Lush products until I discovered Estrella


One of my goals for next year is going to be send more mail. It's nice to get mail and it so rarely happens anymore. I would be really happy to send love notes with postcards by ilfant


I think my mom and/or aunt would really enjoy needle felting so I got to pick up some kits from Moxie


And I must get one of these shadow puppets for someone...not sure who but I'll figure that out later!
