craftaluma

this afternoon, i headed up to petaluma for the first annual craftaluma held by the petaluma craft mafia with Carol of quirkynberkley and robyn of handcranked. there were a bunch of cccoe members (a CA street team on etsy) who were vending at the event so i was eager to meet them :)




erika of oishii knits makes wonderfully cozy and colorful knit hats, bibs and blankets for babies. i love that the two knit plushies she has made have hearts for mouths.


wendy of buttercupbloom sews up adorable plushies - ripe for the picking are peaches, blueberries, radishes and rays of sunshine.


wrenay of shopwhimsy and wrenphoto has an intriguing and delicate mix of photography, mixed media collage, jewelry and soft plush birds.


may of ohmay makes lovely knit brooches, scarves and collars.


tara of combustion glassworks strikes a pose. her pendants look like candy.

sf bay area etsy meetup

i had a fun time last saturday meeting a group of etsy sellers for coffee in berkeley. around 10 people showed up, which was great! we chattered and talked all about etsy and selling for about 2 hours in an otherwise quiet coffee shop (except for our group) and it was fun, i think it would be great to meet up once a month.




the attendees were: shopwhimsy, theseawithin, beetlelady, ohmay, audelaine, shellmitchell,chunkyandfunky
