Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Holiday Sale 2010

December was a busy month! I've been meaning to post about the Super Colossal Holiday Sale for almost a month. Here we go... finally!

Saturday, December 11th and Sunday, December 12th were 2 amazing days. One event that has made Portland so welcoming for me has been Crafty Wonderland. I am so humbled that there are people out there that get down with their art nerdy selves; appreciators & creators alike. I would love to give a shout out to all those who attended and supported handmade.

Over 12,000 shoppers attended! The organizers said that this show was by far their biggest and best event to date. It was so nice to meet new and old faces... sale goers & vendors. There was so much handmade awesomeness that I wanted to marvel over, but I had to man my booth. Ha!

A few snaps of my booth...

Super Colossal Holiday Sale follow-up

Just this weekend was Crafty Wonderland's Super Colossal Holiday Sale. Not only was I a shopper this year, but I was also a vendor. This was my first time ever vending at the holiday sale. Last year I & Chelsea Ann aka Itty Bitty Birdy came to the event as shoppers. We had a ball, so we decided to make it a goal to be vendors this year. I had oh so much fun Sunday. I met so many wonderful people– Crafters, Artists, and appreciators alike. I wanted to give a huge shout out to those who came, all 7,500 of you who supported handmade. I am so graciously thankful to have had the opportunity to be involved! I'm definitely doing the next, and the next, and the next... I took a bunch of snaps from that day.
