1) First time vending at the Northwest Art & Air Festival: This past weekend, I drove down to Albany to vend at the Northwest Art & Air Festival. This was the first event I participated in that had volunteers that babysat your booth so the vendors can take a break, go to […]
So while I was at Scrap getting ingredients for my bunny costume, of course I found other textiles that made me yelp out of excitement: orange/red bold floral cotton and sky blue Japanese cherry blossom cotton.

Have you ever checked out Hip Happening arts & craft bazaar at Sellwood Masonic Hall?? Well, better get to it! It’s put on periodically throughout the year — about once every two to three months. I participated as a vendor this past Saturday and it was a great gathering of […]
