Hearts and Crafts for the Holidays

Hello friends! We here at Hearts and Crafts are happy to finally announce our 2012 Holiday Craft Market:

Sunday, December 16th, 2012 at Java’s Cafe; 11am-4pm.

The vendors we’ve selected reflect an array of previous artists whose work reflect the cozy environment and gift-giving season.

Just in time for Valentines shopping, we bring you the Hearts and Crafts midwinter craft market. SO EXCITED!

up next: Art Bazaar at the Yards!

First of all: THANK YOU so much to everyone who helped make our Holiday Craft Market a smashing success! It was such a wonderful day all-around, with possibly the best turnout we’ve seen yet. We’ll post some photos here soon but for now check them out over on facebook….

AND! if you just haven’t had enough, we are right back at it this weekend: we had the chance to help out our pals over at 1975 and The Yards with putting together the Art Bazaar at the Yards. The Yards is a new collaborative art space at the Public Market, upstairs from Flour City Bread and Java’s, and the Art Bazaar is their brand-new artist market event, this Saturday and Sunday. We are very excited to be part of this and would love to see you there!
