Crafty people

It’s mid-November, which means the holiday craft fair season is heating up. Here in Seattle, there’s an abundance of talented creative craftspeople and we have lots of opportunities to see and buy their work. Here are a few shows I’ve got my eyes on for the next three weekends:

The EtsyRAIN Holiday Art & Craft Show will be held in the lobby of Intiman Theatre (201 Mercer Street) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, November 21-22.

The first 50 people in line each day will receive a swag bag filled with awesome stuff from EtsyRAIN members. We aren’t selling at this show, but we donated a dozen Charm School Dropouts, so 12 lucky people will get a lollipop among their swag bag items! Details about the show and vendors who’ll be selling there are on the EtsyRAIN holiday show web page.

This Charming Candy will be one of the vendors at the I Heart Indie Holidays show in Kirkland from 11 am – 6 pm, Sunday November 29. Come to the Lake Street Grill on 15 Lake Street and get some charming candy from me and Kate! Lollipops make great stocking stuffers, and we’ll have plenty of Spice Racks, Fruit Baskets and Love Triangles for sale.

Admission is free, and the first 25 people through the door will receive a swag bag with goodies from many of the IHIH vendors – including a Charm School Dropout in every bag. Check out more details and get directions to the show from the IHIH website.

And Urban Craft Uprising's Fifth Annual Winter Show is a huge huge show that will be at Seattle Center Exhibition Hall – check out the list of vendors! The show runs December 5th & 6th, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

And those are just a few of the shows that are going on in Seattle this holiday season. Happy shopping!
