Crafty Supermarket / Cincinnati

A few favorites from the show : Chevron Beaded bracelets : On the Lookout / Fork Tine earrings : Spoons And Such / Dipped Triangle earrings : Line & Loop / Unicorn Magnet : Happy Bungalow

The Crafty Supermarket was this past Saturday in Cincinnati and it. was. AMAZING! I was lucky to have two friends make the trip with me I am so grateful they were there to help chat with everyone + manage the crowd.  At 4,000 shoppers, this was the biggest show I've ever done.  It was a phenomenal day and equally as exhausting!  I sold out of a lot of things, but luckily I brought supplies to make more bracelets on the fly -- People where buying them freshly made, right out of my hands!

My friends and I stayed at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Cinci.  This space is a perfect mash up of hotel + modern art museum in one.  The decor of the room was minimal and crisp, with pops of weird art here and there.

Crafty Supermarket happens twice a year and the talent there was so great. I hope I get the chance to take OTL on the road back to Cinci veryvery soon!
