I *heart* Crafty Wonderland!

I just wanted to give a shout out to an old friend. Back in 2007, I did my very first craft show at Crafty Wonderland. I was pretty much a newbie to the DIY world, having only sold my wares at etsy. It took me about an hour to write a nervous email to Torie and Cathy introducing myself and applying for a booth at Crafty Wonderland. After waiting a couple of days, I got the acceptance email and that was the beginning of a wonderful partnership. MOSS has grown leaps and bounds since that booth pic was taken above and I would just like to extend my thanks to Crafty (that’s you, Torie and Cathy!). Being accepted to that show was like getting a big warm welcoming hug from the Portland crafty community. I’ve met so many wonderful people and have learned so many things. Without you guys, I never would have grown MOSS to what it is today. 

Earlier this week, Crafty Wonderland has announced a big shift in their plans for 2010. You can read more about why here. MOSS and countless other art and craft enthusiasts will miss all the Sunday crafty goodness at the Doug Fir but will continue our support in the coming years. So WOOT! for Torie and Cathy!

MOSS will not be selling at this month’s Crafty Wonderland (the very last one at the Doug Fir!) but would like to ask all of you to come out and celebrate 3.5 years of crafty love with Torie and Cathy. You ladies are amazing! Many, many, many thanks!

Alberta Art Hop this weekend!

The weatherman says that it will be dry and sunny on Saturday! The perfect excuse to head on down to NE Alberta Street to enjoy art, crafts, food and music while basking in yummy 70-something degree weather. Art on Alberta will be hosting its 10th Annual Art Hop this weekend and MOSS is thrilled to be participating along with the super cool and talented, Flapper Girl. There will be 15o artists and craftspeople participating this year so come out and show them your love! More info about the event can be found here.

Christine and I will be on the 26th block, on the north side of the street. MOSS will be selling its fabulous selection of jewelry, Amigurumi dolls and (drumroll!) recycled clothing. I will also be bringing with me the Spring Sale items so if you want something from the sale section of the shop and you live in Portland, that would be the time to get them.

Hope to see you all there!

Hey all! I am trying to clear out old merchandise, so if you want to own a piece of MOSS for cheap, come and get it here. xoxo

PS. I will be adding more stuff to the bins later this week.
