Summer vending at the Handmade Market!

July 25th, 2009 10am-3pm
Memphis Taproom yard and sidewalk
NE corner of Memphis and Cumberland, Philadelphia, PA

I'll be vending at this little market, which is in it's second year. I'll be donning a thick book of etchings, woodblocks, and mixed media prints and works on paper, etched vintage-stock lockets and other brassy and coppery jewelry from recycled parts (and taking custom orders for lockets, whee!), and probably some other lovely small sculptures.

It's free to vend at this little fest, and is functioning in a first come first serve fashion. Last year, the weather was a bit iffy, so all the participants fit nicely in their side yard. This year, they'll be expanding out onto the sidewalk, since yard space is extremely limited, and we're hoping for picture-perfect weather. Cumberland Street is also a great place to go yard-sale hunting in the summertime, as it's a wide sidewalk street and there are usually sidewalk sales every weekend! It'll be a destination! Do brunch, some art-shopping, then yard-sale hop down to Greensgrow Farms to get some fresh produce from their Farmer's Market!

If you haven't been to Memphis Taproom already, then you must be living in a bubble! Great food, good folks, and a superb beer list. Plus, on the weekends, they usually tap a firkin; how excellent! Memphis is one of Trenton Avenue Arts Fest's new favorite food vendors, too. This was their second year vending at the fest (and their second year in existence!). Kudos to them. And just kidding about the bubble-living, unless you have been living in one.

If you want to inquire about vending, email leigh@memphistaproom.com. I'm not sure how many vendors they're accepting.
