No In-Person Shows — But Still Around!

While I have decided to pass on craft shows this fall and winter, I am happy to share that my ornaments and other goodies will be available this December in Portland at the A Clean Slate PDX showroom located inside Urbanite.

Have you ever been to Urbanite during the holidays? With over 50 designers, Urbanite is a winter wonderland filled with vintage holiday decor, fabulous gifts from local makers, and some of the grooviest goodies Portland has to offer. I highly recommend it!

Buckman Art Show (At Home) 2021 ~ March 9-14

buckman2021a

Due to the pandemic, one of my favorite shows to participate in, the Buckman Art Show will be taking place virtually this year. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since my last in person show. In early March 2020, we were just starting to take precautions against COVID and the show went on as scheduled. But attendance did seem diminished and there seemed to be a hesitancy among vendors and shoppers alike.

This year, instead of a 3-day event, there will be a week-long online fundraiser March 9-14 to celebrate the arts and artists at Buckman Elementary. A list of 2020 vendors and links to their shops, arranged by medium, will be available to shoppers.

I will be busy adding things to my Etsy shop in the coming week and I hope that you will take a look and also support other local artists!

Upcoming Spring Shows!

I thought the early months of 2017 would be a quieter time to sew some garments, build my skills, and develop my online store. But surprisingly, it seems there are quite a few craft shows happening out there!

Chinchilla Whiskers will be at these upcoming shows. I hope you’ll add these to your calendar!
