Me at the June "Meet Your Maker" show, Friday evening, Broadway Winebar, downtown Eugene. I like to create a different display each time, and bring new things along with my classics. I'm debuting my new line of Bliss Bags: the big bags on the stand, totes and lots of little zippy pouches to keep all your goods organized.
It's a fun challenge to make an interesting set up on a 2.5 foot table!
Birthday Bunny gift set made it's first public appearance, and super fun Tooth Fairy pouches. Both are found in my BlissForest store.
A view down the row just after we set up. There's a flurry of activity between 4:30-5pm, then we all settle down. As 5pm work lets off for the week, folks start arriving. 6pm brings the art walk gallery crowd. And throughout the evening many folks are visiting the wine bar and happy to come down and browse our wares. The floor fills up!
There was a little too much browsing and not enough buying on this night, for me, but I always have a great time seeing all my etsy and crafty friends, and getting direct feedback on my products. We show off all our latest inventions and talk craft. My mom and several friends visited- I love that!
I'm posting all my new bags in my AlyTheRed-BlissMonkeyStudio shop this weekend! Enjoy.
Local folks can find me at the Meet Your Maker show this Friday. I'm releasing my summer line of bags and pouches!
Friday: 5-8pm
Broadway Winebar downtown Eugene
It's First Friday, so visit all the gallery openings, THEN come to the Meet Your Maker venue where you can actually afford something! All the handmade goodness is at your fingertips. Bring home a piece of wearable art, functional art, or simple cuteness. Shop for a unique gift for the teacher or grad in your life.
Do NOT forget to score some raffle tickets! Always a great prize package.
I love this craft show with the mini tables packed with great work. The vendors change each time, but there is always a great variety of indie crafts. I try to get around and see all the wares and make my purchases early in the evening.

Come see my teeny tiny toothfairy pouches. They are as small as I could get them, and still have a readable silk screen image on. I can't wait to blog about them, once I get a photo.
Meet Your Maker Indie Craft show is TOMORROW (Friday).
New location: Broadway market - yes, the wine bar will be open. Please note this is not the whine bar. I'm excited to report we are on the same night as the downtown art walk!
Same time: 5-8 pm.
What new: The premiere of my new coffee cozy designs, and get the first pick of the season's new wrist cozies. Many are one of a kind.
