ETC's Star shines bright at the North Market Holiday Open House!

Greetings Faithful followers! I am quite excited to bring you the following photos taken literally minutes ago! Like many of you, I try to make as few stops as possible during my holiday shopping sojourn. Searching for just the right items (unique, affordable, interesting) can be a tall order. Well, not today OR tomorrow! Just visit the North Market Holiday Open House and Craft Extravganza. Local residents in Columbus can tell you how scrumptious the food offerings are within this unassuming building. The crowds and filled parking lot can also attest to this fact.
However, now is the "best-ever" time to visit since 50 artisans of handcrafted wares have set up in the upstairs section to consolidate your shopping experience. We're talking independent labels, small businesses and budding talent! You will find screenprinted tees, baby layettes and outfits, handrolled polymer clay buttons and pendants, designer handbags from upcycled materials, vintage fabrics, felted pins and rings, clay covered knobs, pens, tins, etc. There's also dazzling stone cut and set in sterling...glittery crystals wired together with shots of color... its an event sure to stimulate all your senses!
Remember, buying local and buying handmade also helps the economy :-) It's not too late for you to check this awesome event out. Here are further details and a peek at some of our teammates making us proud.


Location: 59 Spruce St. Columbus, OH Sat 12/5 hours 8am to 5pm Sun 12/6 12pm to 5pm

FINALLY FRIDAY!

Author jannypie Category , , , ,

Greetings faithful followers and Happy Friday. Today I wanted to share a wee bit of info with you all regarding two recent local craft/art shows our members participated in. The photos attached below are from the Worthington Market days event last Saturday. Portions of High Street were blocked off and tents of vendors lined the both sides of the roadway. There were many many unique and interesting wares to be found. Five of our team members shared a space and enjoyed the beautiful day filled with eager shoppers. They were Silverflame, Out of the Pink Sky, Hevvin Designs, Mel's Clay and Adornments by Karla.
At the same time, to the south in downtown the Independents Day event was held. Another five team members came together to represent our team proudly. The sidewalks were covered with amazing chalk drawings and I've heard a grand time was had by all. Those present were Artistic Flair, Arteest, Smarty Pants Design, Maram and Space Dog Studios.
Our roster and talent continues to grow here in ETC as does our presence in and around Columbus. Thank you for sharing the journey with us all! Namaste.

Countdown to the Eco Chic Craftacular

Author jannypie Category , , , , , ,








Just twelve days! TWELVE DAYS!!! Members of Etsy Team Columbus are very excited and proud of the upcoming Eco Chic Craftacular at the Whetstone Community Center on May 16 & 17. Many hours of planning and marketing have gone into this event. With over 50 vendors, live music and delicous food...we feel this will be an unforgetable gathering.

Did you know there will also be FREE workshops going on the entire weekend? Be sure to stop by our information table in the Community Center lobby (beginning the 16th) to pick up a schedule/map for more info. Topics being offered include: rain water harvesting, composting basics, bike maintenance 101, keeping our rivers clean, etc.

Each of the artists and crafters appearing at the Craftacular has been asked to include or incorporate eco-friendly elements in a portion of their wares. You might see canvases colored with soy based paints, creations from recycled or sustainable materials, vintage goods and found/repurposed objects.

In additon to all the above, there will be a daily swag bag giveaway. Be among the first 50 guests to arrive each morning to get your hands on some fab freebies. Here is a list of the possible swag contents in YOUR bag: bubble rings, fabric wallets, postcards, magnets, buttons/pins, coffee cozies, coupons, gift tags, coasters, patches, erasers, notepads, stickers, ACEOs, recycleable bags, honey (yes honey) and more!

Raffle tickets will also be sold during the Craftacular for $1 each or 6 for $5. If you are a winner, you might end up taking home any of these prizes: original paintings, handbound journal, dyed fabric/textile art, denim purse, leather "snail" business card holder, embroidered tshirts, fabric totes, goats milk soap & candle, plushies or jewelry.

We hope you will join us as we celebrate creativity and caring for our planet. The support you show these artists is always appreciated and goes a long way towards stimulating the local economy and small businesses.

Many thanks readers and please help us spread the word----let the countdown to all this FABULOUSNESS continue...
