IHIH Needs Sponsors, and junk...

There's not too much new here. I'm still busy with planning for the triple-threat holiday shows. Remember, there's still room for vendors but the app deadline is the end of the month. Check out the new site www.iheartindiecrafts.com for details and an application. And as always, feel free to ask questions if you're not sure about us, the shows, or vending in general. I'm always happy to help.

We're also looking for sponsors. If you, anyone you know, or any of your suppliers are interested in a great advertizing opportunity, let me know. We have incredibly affordable advertising packages that will be on the website all year and in print for all the shows. Just because we are crafters and artists, doesn't mean that our advertisers have to be. For instance, my chiropractor is a sponsor. He believes in well-being through natural avenues, and is a true "hand-crafter" in his own right. He keeps me sitting up straight which results in very happy crafting!

You should also check out the Fremont Market. The summer vendors are all out and the market is fantastic. Be sure to check out the delicious candles (in the booth next to me), the delicious crepes, and the delicious T-shirts and original art at Partybots. The market runs every Sunday from 10am-5pm.

OH!!! I almost forgot. It's SUMMER SALE for me. I'm clearing out some pieces from last fall. Get them while they last, at amazing prices. I'm gearing up for having jewelry in three new stores, so there will be huge turnover in stock over the next few weeks. If you saw something at the market you liked, come back and get it before it's shipped of to the East Coast or Los Angeles.

Happy crafting!
