Yes. Really. 38 days.

September 2nd, 2009

It’s about that time of year again. Let’s say it together. Fall crafting season.

So, according to the counter at the upper right corner of this page, the first Handmade Market show of the fall season will be in a little over a month. There’s no need to panic, just start on your inventory now. Just kidding. . . Only if you want to.

Anyway, we here at the Handmade Market have not been slacking. This blog will be more fired up as the show dates get closer and closer. In the meantime, just check back often, so you know what’s what. That’s all for now. Crafters unite.

Fall tables are sold out

July 19th, 2009

All of the fall tables are sold out. We’ll see you then.

The December show is sold out

July 2nd, 2009

December is sold out. If you would like to be placed on the waiting list please email Heather at heather@handmadechicago.com.

Please see October and November where other spots are still available.

Fall Handmade Market Selling Fast

July 1st, 2009

2009 Fall Handmade Market Dates On Sale

June 29th, 2009

Hello Sellers

I have placed the Fall 2009 Handmade Market tables on sale. October, November, and December are now available for purchase.

I wanted to make the dates available now so that you can plan your selling season. However, I am asking that you please do not purchase a space unless you are sure that you are going to be available to sell. Cancellations and reschedules take up a significant amount of my time, which makes me grumpy!

Please be sure that you have read the To Sell section of the website before booking a table. It includes all of the “fine print” information.

Happy Crafting!

Heather
