Market Day Tomorrow!

Friday, August 26th, 2011

Hello bloglings. Tomorrow is my first Market Day of the season.  They’ve been going on since May, but I’ve not had a chance to do much crafting until this last month.

For those of you who don’t know and are around Central Iowa, you should come check it out.  It’s pretty awesome.

Actually, for you newbies, here’s a description from their website:  Market Day is an indie craft market: their vendors craft — but they don’t make your grandma’s crafts. At Market Day, shoppers find screenprinted posters and tees, postcards of monsters, stenciled paintings of mermaids, kawaii earrings, macabre pottery, and more. And? They’ve got their share of vintage housewares, clothing and jewelry, too.

Find Market Day at the Des Moines Social Club in the Kirkwood Theater — at 400 Walnut Street in downtown Des Moines, IA. Click here to get directions.

What am I selling? Why dishes of course. But actually, since I moved twice since the last craft show I did, I don’t have any new dishes.  I do, however, have a metric butt-ton of new zippy pouches because these are super easy to transport and are reallllly fun to make.

Zippy pouches are $10 (at Market Day, $12+shipping on etsy). Dishes range from $5-15 for single items and $35-75 for sets (again, 10% more expensive on etsy + shipping).

Also, did I mention that Market Day is from 9 AM-2 PM? COME ON DOWN.

Market Day!

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
I’ll be participating in a craft/art/thrift bazaar next Saturday. I’ll be selling my ceramics, some vintage and handmade clothing, and some craft supplies. I know it’s a Saturday…and it’s kinda early (for some of you folks), but I’d love to see some peeps at the show.  

Here are the details:

Market Day launches May 30
Farmer’s market die-hards and thrift-conscious art lovers are invited to a new kind of market debuting May 30.Market Street Media Foundry is hosting a casual, monthly bazaar for art, vintage, found items and handmade goods. Dubbed “Market Day” artists and vendors are encouraged to look beyond what they traditionally retail and bring a fun and inexpensive mix of items.

There will be dozens of artists and craftsters selling their wares in addition to thrift furniture items from Racoon Forks Trading Company and Mike Kinter.

Like a farmer’s market, patrons are encouraged to bring cash and shopping bags, though some individual vendors may accept credit cards and provide bags and packaging for larger items.

Market Day is the last Saturday of every month May 30 through September 26 with special dates in October and November. It will run from 9am-2pm. Market Day is located in the 120 year old Market Building at 118 SE 4th Street.
