As an Artist/Crafter I am always looking for venues to sell my wares. But being the creative type, with an eye for detail, and a lover of all things unique, I wanted the venues to be creative, fun, intimate and unique. Well, I wasn't finding that in the usual craft shows, expos, and girls night outs.....so I decided to form my own troupe of fantastic artists/crafters.
I belong to some great networking groups, and advertised for like minded artists on the discussion boards. I was a bit nervous, what if no one was interested? Well that didn't happen, and after just two months in planning The Traveling Handmade Bazaar was born.
We are 14 artist/crafters strong (and all are fantastic!), our first show is being held tonight. I am so excited to see what was once just an idea, a dream, a small 3am thought, come to fruition!
In the next few months I will be introducing these talented people to you in my summer shop features blog posts.
But now I have to get ready for our FIRST SHOW!
Join us if you are free tonight.....We guarantee a good time for all!
AND....If you are looking for an event idea for your business or organization.... we will hold our amazing trunk show “Pop-up” events at various locations throughout the Minneapolis/St Paul area.
