Introducing: our Handmade Nation Panel!

As you know we, along with Made By Rachel, are presenting the western New York premiere of the documentary Handmade Nation. We've invited a few of our favorite artists and crafters to sit down with us and talk about the world of DIY at the premiere screening on Friday November 27th. This will be an intimate panel discussion with some of the coolest names in art + craft.

We're humbled and honored to have them join us and we're excited to introduce them to you today.

Betsy Carr of Foundling


Mike, one of proprietors of Thread


ceramic artist Kala Stein


CharLee of Pearl & Marmalade

Recognize a couple names? These folks are each a success story in the world of art + craft, which is no small feat. So join us and listen to what they have to say about making it in the world of making it!

Oh, and 4 out of the 5 panelists are also second storie vendors! How great to get the behind-the-scenes stories on the art you're going home with the next day?

Get your tickets today to make sure you have a seat for this evening of indie awesomeness.

Friday Favorites



Looking through Allen Company, Inc.'s Etsy shop, it's impossible not to start matching up pieces and imagining elegant dinner parties.
All these gorgeous vintage pieces! The shop is full of them, and I'm in love with it all! (Especially the darling acorn closure on this handbag!)
Happy weekend!
