The Handmade Mart, Holiday Shop-N-Stroll is this coming Saturday in Downtown Silver Spring.
From those that brought you the Handmade Mart in June of this year, this Fall market teams up local crafters with the Silver Spring FRESHFARM market. Starting at 10am until 3pm, browse for some holiday gifts and stock up on your fresh produce, all at the same time.
For a vendor list, complete with many of your favorite local crafters head on over to the Handmade Mart site, and start making your list.
The Handmade Mart is super excited to be teaming up with Downtown Silver Spring and the FRESHFARM Market for the first annual Holiday Shop-n-Stroll!
This one-day, outdoor, holiday extravaganza will feature 50+ independent crafters, local farmers selling fresh seasonal produce, workshops, carolers, a tree lighting, and much more to get everyone into the holiday swing of things.
The Handmade Mart is now accepting vendor applications for crafters to participate in this unique shopping experience along the bustling Ellsworth Drive in Downtown Silver Spring.
The Handmade Mart is a juried craft show. To apply, download the application, and send it to handmademart [at] gmail.com along with three photos of your craft. The deadline to apply is October 19th. Vendors will be selected based on quality and uniqueness of their craft.
There is no fee to apply, but all accepted vendors will need to pay a $65 booth fee + an additional fee if electricity is needed. More information can be found on the FAQ page (PDF) and the application here (PDF).
Craft Mutiny’s Holiday Booty Market was a great success. Even though it was cold out and at one point flurries were seen in the air, it was warm and welcoming on the inside of the gift shop at 5 Thomas Circle. Everyone was in a wonderful mood and many found the perfect gift for their sister, niece, friend and co-worker.
A big thank you goes to everyone at Craft Mutiny for organizing and putting on the show. And thank you to all my friends that stopped by to chat, say hi and buy handmade goodness from all the amazing vendors. You’re support is greatly appreciated and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you.
To the shoppers who were looking for that certain something that was sold out — I plan on having things up in my Etsy shop very soon, so stay tuned.
