A Trip to the urban, Indie Craft Fair in Downtown Sacramento

I know I am a little late on this, but here are some photos I snapped at the Indie Craft Fair, that was held on April 7th in Downtown Sacramento.

The fair had a very urban vibe, held in a parking lot amidst some very cool looking industrial buildings. Products ranged from screen-printing and handmade soaps to jewelry and succulents.

Did I mention the food trucks?

It sounds like there might be another Indie Craft Fair coming up in July so be sure to follow the facebook page for updates.

HelloXOXO Stud Earrings Class

Visit the HelloXOXO nest for some crafting fun - learn how to make stud earrings with the talented and enthusiastic Jaymi Guess! Each attendee will leave with 2 sets of earrings and the know-how to make their own stylish and unique earrings!

About our Instructor Jaymi
"I ran a successful Etsy shop selling my stud earrings and other playful jewelry from 2008 to early 2010. 500+ sales. Sold my jewelry at Renegade Craft Fair SF twice (such an amazing experience!). Was a regular seller at McMartin Realty every month during the 2nd Saturday Art Walks. Had a short-lived baby knit headband business after my 2nd daughter was born in 2011.

I like to embroider, sew, and knit in my free time. I dabble in pretty much everything crafty, whatever strikes my fancy at the time."
