ArtsFest 2011

Yesterday we went to ArtsFest 2011 to help out at The HodgePodgery's booth. The HodgePodgery is a local indie artisan shop in the "ART" of Midtown, Harrisburg. They sell all sorts of handmade wares made from local artisans that live within a 100 mile radius of the shop.

We signed up for the evening shift. We had a good time but all that walking really did us in. Especially since my business partner/mother's broken toe is still healing. There is a lot of pottery, jewelry, art work and other nice wares to choose from. We really liked the different garden fountains especially the ones made out of old silver.

I took some pictures of The HoPo's stand to show you some of the many great wares. You can find their stand located in the free section, next to the Walnut St. bridge. Don't forget to check out the stand if you are attending ArtsFest. You can visit today from 10 am to 7pm and tomorrow from 10 am to 5 pm.

The HodgePodgery

One of my birthday gifts was a gift certificate to The HodgePodgery in Harrisburg, PA. My mom and I consign things here as well as sell things on Etsy. They sell all kinds of Recycled, Re purposed & Handmade Whatnots made by local artisans. This shop has a huge variety of wonderful things for sale. I highly recommend checking out this fantastic shop if your in the area. Since there are so many things to choose from and I am also so indecisive it took me a while to decide what to spend my gift certificate on. And I ended up spending money from our account too. Next time I will be sure to bring my cash. :) Here is the HodgePodgery's website for more info:
