Crafty Mart
Akron's first ever Crafty Mart was so delightful! I had such fun seeing some of the creative talent Akron has to offer and meeting new creative friends! Crafty Mart definitely did not disappoint. Well, I guess if I was being honest, it did disappoint in that I did not have a table. But next year, I will definitely look into it! Here are the photos I snagged of the event.
I adored these necklaced by B. Radley, but I didn't buy any. I think I will be kicking myself for that later, but they're from the area, so I can always hit them up later! We exchanged e-mails.
Revival makes screen printed posters and Tshirts. They also have a shop in Highland Square, in Akron, where they sell their creations as well as vintage goods. You should definitely stop by and visit them if you're ever in the area!
I loved the mix of arty, kitschy, and pretty things that the Crafty Mart had to offer. It was located inside Musica (an indie music venue), which gave the whole event even more of a underground vibe. I thought it really went well, and I seriously can't wait until next year!
you totally need a table!!!

That looks right up my alley!!!! Those necklaces were oh so pretty.
We have a fair like this coming in December, hoping to get to it but I may be in one myself that same weekend.

You totally should have, Vanessa! I'm telling you, there are so many things happening in Akron that you would love. The Green Bean Cafe in Akron...? ;)

My fellow bear, Charlie, just shared this link with me. We, along with my husband, are in your top picture at our company's booth. Which is kinda funny, because I follow your blog now but had no idea this post existed.
