The independent and local art/ fashion/craft show INDIE EMPORIUM is in Tulsa, Oklahoma this weekend, Friday and Saturday. It is at the VFW post on 6th Street. The doors open at 7:00 pm on Friday, and they will be giving away free goodie bags to the first 50 people through the door. That's why I'm gonna be there at 6:45.
Last year I bought a super-cute, up-cycled dress with hand-sewn little birdies from the girls at Weather & Noise. This year, I've got my heart set on some heart-warming, folksy art by Audrey Eclectic (image on the right).
Indie Emporium was started in 2007 by a group of women who are smart and crafty, and I love going every year because it reminds me that there are lots of optimistic, nice, young, feminist, environmentally-friendly, thoughtful women making things happen here in Oklahoma. The show always has plenty of handmade, pretty- sometimes even beautiful!- local art, clothing, jewelry, food, pillows, greeting cards, journals, etc. So, if you have a few extra dollars in this rough economy, you know where to spend it.
