“Homemade Happenings” is a weekly post rounding up local artsy crafty events to attend. It might also include some great rummage sales and antique markets. This list is published every Tuesday, unless of course there are no events to report. Attending a Homemade Happening is an excellent way to connect with like-minded crafty souls and/or support our local artisans. If you don’t make it yourself, buy handmade!
The full address for each event can be found by clicking on the blue hyperlinks to MapQuest where you can also input your home address and get directions. If you spot an error or omission, please post a comment for all to see. If you are planning an event that you’d like to see included in this list, email the details to jen@stitchsimple.com (there’s absolutely no charge for a listing).
