Who remembers wishing you could meet people like y

Who remembers wishing you could meet people like you? People who get the struggle of being a creative, of not wanting to work a crappy job or have a passionless career to pay the rent, of wanting to be accepted just as you are and not have to worry about how cool you look or if you snorted when you laughed or told a dumb joke or were a big dork in school (or still are).

These are the people who prefer big talk over small talk any day. They’ll tell you the truth even when it’s hard.

Ready to meet your cohort of creatives besties?

They’re waiting for you at Craftcation. Join us next spring in Ventura, California. Discounted early bird registration opens June 1, 2024.

DM me BESTIE and I’ll make sure you’re on the list to be the first to know.

Here’s the thing you may not know... 🛍️💡

Here’s the thing you may not know... 🛍️💡

If you buy even ONE small thing like a card or pin from a vendor at a makers market, you’re making a difference. It all adds up! 💪

If you don’t have the funds, don’t sweat it! There are still ways you can help a creative small business owner’s dreams come true. ✨

📱Follow them & engage on social media
This is a quick and easy way to show creatives some love. Follow your favorite makers on social media and like and comment on their posts in a genuine way. ❤️

✉️Join their email list
If you love what a maker does, subscribe to their email list. Most makers use their email lists to announce sales, shows and other exclusives that you may miss on social media. 💌

📣Share about them
Most of the awesome stuff I know about is from word of mouth! Sharing about a maker on social media or IRL is a great way to not only help the maker find a new audience but also help your friend find an awesome creative business. 👥

We’ll see you at our @thepatchworkshow markets this spring! For the full list of shows and dates check our website or DM me DATES and I’ll send you the list.

It’s impossible to put the feelings I have about

It’s impossible to put the feelings I have about Craftcation and our planning and event team who pulled it all off in words. I remember hearing someone try to explain the depth of their feelings once and they just said, “my cup runneth over.” Same friend, same.

Seeing our team work together to create this magical week for other creative weirdos is the highlight of my year.

If I repeated the words “thank you” over and over until the end of time, it wouldn’t be enough, so I’ll simply say, “my cup runneth over with gratitude and love for you all.”

🥂🥳🏖️🎨 Until next year!

Have you ever SOLD OUT at a craft fair before? How much product do you bring?

You should have 4 to 10x the amount of product you hope or expect to sell. You don’t want your booth to look empty after you sell a handful of things and you want to have enough product to actually meet your sales goals.
