Happy Friday evening. I don’t usually promote upcoming live events, but you know what a soft spot I have for Etsy sellers (this week’s Etsomnia™ notwithstanding).
This Sunday, May 21, forty NYC-based Etsy makers are going to be showing their wares at New York’s iconic Grand Bazaar, a flea market that’s been running every weekend on the Upper West Side since the eighties. I spent many a happy Saturday there when I lived nearby 30+ years ago!
The show is called “Ready, Set, Summer!” and was put together by NY Handmade Collective’s (NYHC), formerly known as the ETSY New York Street Team. I’ll be there early, taking pictures and interviewing makers. If you’re in town, come on out and support the local Etsy sellers. Hope you can make it!
Here are the details:
Where: Grand Bazaar NYC, 100 W. 77th Street, corner of Columbus Avenue
When: Sunday, May 21, 2017, 10 am-5:30 pm

These get togethers are becoming more common among communities of Etsy sellers. Maybe you can find something similar where you are!

I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, so I’m only going to feature the ones I love this time. It’s one thing to make anonymous fun, but I never want to steal anyone’s joy, no matter how terrible their work is.

Indeed! I offered to give Beloved a quiet running commentary on the Etsomnia-worthy items, but she declined.
