Craft and Vintage Festivals & Expositions

Hi All;

For people who love to create crafts, I found some interesting websites in the USA today. Here is a list of sites you can visit to learn more, join an association, or attend one of their shows:

Non-profit association for Crafts & Hobbies: craftandhobby.org
Indie Craft Experience: ice-atlanta.com
This craft show features hipper/edgy fashions and designs. The show features Vintage designs/fabrics and repurposed materials that can be incorporated into today's designs. I recently met a jewelry designer who incorporates yesterday's beads, clasps, and metals from vintage jewelry, and rebeads them into unique designs for today. The fair also feataures vegan goods & crafting workshops.

For Canadian visitors: creativfestival.com

In Brooklyn N.Y., visit the Annual BUST Spring Fling: bust.com/Craftacular/Bust-Spring-Fling. This event celebrates the handmade goods of the edgy indie designers that feature hip, women's accessories & clothes.

Learning & Products Expo: learningproductexpo.com
Purchase products, take classes to learn a medium or experiment in something new. The expo is scheduled for Chicago and Pasadena. Visit their site for more information.

For all things handmade & Vintage: Etsy.com
Etsy.com is the Premiere place on the worldwide web for sellers of crafts and vintage goods.

April and May Events at Antique Mall in Las Vegas

Hello Everyone;

First, I would like to say that the "100 Years of Fashion, running through April 18th, has been a huge success"! I have sold several original vintage pieces, and I am grateful to all who continue to support and follow my vintage journey. I would also like to thank all of the dealers, especially Ellie, who made this event so special.
Next, beginning April 12th, which is Easter Sunday, the mall plans a "Pick an Egg" event. All customers may pick an egg out of a basket, which will give you either a 10/15/20% discount on items of your choice through-out the mall. All customers also have a chance to win other gifts. So please join us for the FUN!
Then on May 1st & 2nd, the Mall will be having a Parking Lot Sale, and Silent Auction. Food & drink Vendors will be available for refreshments. These are just some of the varied events that will be occurring at the Charleston Antique Mall within the next 60 days. The Mall is located on 307 W. Charleston Blvd, Lv, Nv 89102, and is open 7 days per week. Call 702-228-4783 for further information, or visit: http://vintageinvegas.blogspot.com/
Finally, don't forget to visit my booth, dealer #77 for all your Vintage treasures. Thanks for reading.........
