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.

Craft Show Report

Incase anyone was wondering the 1st day was a good sales day and the 2nd day we only had one sale the whole time. Overall though I think it was worth it. I had a good time and it is always nice to sell some of our wares. Now I need to see how much of the leftover stock can be taken to the HodgePodgery in Harrisburg. Plus I think I have enough yo-yo magnets to take some to the new HodgePodgery in Lancaster. Of course anything that was part of our Etsy shop has now been added back. I do wish though that they had more choices for food-they had a baked goods stand and then for lunch there was only falafel. The falafel wasn't to bad but for some reason the spices in it made my eyes water. And it really cleared my sinuses. lol. Anyway that is about it-now back to all the other holiday madness.
