This is the second year that the Spring Sale has been held at the Oregon Convention Center. This year it was also just for one day only.

I treated myself and purchased my very own 'Dolls for Friends'! I've been wanting one for a very long time now. My cat looks thrilled.

Thanks to all that help make this one of Portland's best craft events!

I can't wait for the next Crafty Wonderland, December 10th and 11th. Mark your calendars!

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!
