Sunday Afternoon Housewife

There’s a bunch of fun coming up this weekend as I take on two shows in two days (something I try not to do too often). Up first is the Handmade Promenade on the Avenue this Friday on Mass Ave from 5:00-8:30. I will be there with 20+ other artists who all make their goods [...]

It’s October already and a chilly 40 something degrees outside so I guess it is time to admit that summer had ended. I had a great summer as far as going to fairs went. I traveled all over the place: Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Nashville, Cleveland (twice!), Chicago, Columbus, and of course did a few shows at [...]

This past weekend I packed up and headed with my wares to The City Flea in downtown Cincinnati. When I first heard about The City Flea, I knew I wanted to participate. This is the first year for the event which is being held monthly on the corner of Vine and Central Parkway. Once a [...]

This past weekend I took a (rare) non-business trip. I went to Asheville, North Carolina to visit with my in-laws. Even though the trip was a non-work trip, I still packed up some product and business cards and scouted out in advance a few places which might be a good match for Sunday Afternoon Housewife [...]

I am finally back from Texas! I had a great time at SXSW in Austin and got to see some of my favorite bands including The Dodos and Deertick and I also got to see some great new bands including The Violins and a band called Friends from Brooklyn. I loved going around and hearing [...]

So today is the big day- I’m leaving Dallas and heading down to Austin for South By South West music festival and Commodore Von Keepsie’s Craftacular Musical Carnivale! I don’t know how much I will be able to update the blog the next couple of days, so if you want to stay up to date [...]

This past weekend was the Funky Finds Spring Fling and if you missed it, then you missed a great event! Over 100 vendors were set up for the event and there was such a fantastic mix of handmade goods! Lots of shoppers came out for the event and I got to meet a lot of [...]

Tomorrow is the big day as I take to the skies and head down to Fort Worth for the 3rd annual Funky Finds Spring Fling! I’ll be vending along with 100+ other vendors including the fantastic Curious Cake Shoppe and Curious Canvas, Marci’s Crafty Corner, Katinka Pinka and so many more! I hope you are [...]

Wow. Things are suddenly very busy here at Housewife HQ as I start to get ready for my next great Texas Adventure. I’ll be leaving a week from tomorrow for Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin. I’ll be vending on the 12th and 13th at the Funky Finds Spring Fling in Fort Worth and then on [...]

This past Sunday I packed the car with the crafts and made the three hour trek up to Chicago for the Urban Folk Circuit at the Berlin Nightclub. It was a lovely45 degree day. Great for a February day in Chicago! The weather had to have helped get the shoppers out, and the Berlin was [...]
