May Day Craft Fair

Indie Reno May Day Craft Fair | yourgayreno.com

Last November's Indie Reno Craft Fair sponsored (in part) by Etsy.com was a huge success. This spring the local Etsy Sellers Team - the Handmade Hustlers - will be returning to the VSA, Governor's Lake Mansion on Arlington and Court St. in Reno with crafty items and cheer in tow just in time for Mother's Day!
Sunday, May 1st from 10am- 5pm
There will be all kinds of wonderful things for sale.
Info on this event has been submitted to the Reno News & Review, the Reno Gazette Journal, and the Your Gay Reno website - check out more information there or at our website: www.indiereno.com

NEWSFLASH!
Swag bags full of free goodies will be given away to the first 25 people who show up at the fair! Last time people showed up before 9am to get these lovely prizes. Each bag will contain a bevy of gifts ranging in value from $1-5 from earrings, buttons, hats, and cards there were some really creative giveaways.

Children's clothing, silver, jewelry, quilting, knitting, and more will be at the fair, including my stuff from Velesia's Bindery and Prints. That means I'll have prints, books, cards, bookmarks and custom orders on sale. There's this thing called the coptic stitch I've been trying my fingers at lately, but it takes more time than basic multi-signature binding and more supplies. However... it does look pretty cool. We'll see what happens, I suppose I could create a test batch of 5-10 or something. If they don't sell I'll just put them on Etsy.

rests flat - cover paper I made myself!

Thoughts? Ideas? Opinions? Comments? I enjoyed making it but it was definitely more labor intensive. Perhaps if I practice on some my talents and time will improve.
