"The Handmade Market"The Handmade Market is a semiannual shopping event in downtown Raleigh, NC. The event features a juried selection of the best and brightest artists, independent designers, and crafters from NC and beyond.
The event is produced by The Handmaidens, a North Carolina collective of independent designers, and is made possible with the generous support of sponsors and volunteers.
At every Handmade Market, The Handmaidens partner with a local charity to organize a raffle to benefit their cause. At the show, visitors can make a suggested donation to the group. In return for the donation, a raffle ticket will be provided for a chance to win a gift basket filled-to-the-brim with handcrafted goods and vouchers for services that are donated by Charity Sponsors.
The local charity for the event on May 3rd is AnimalKind, an organization whose mission is to help eliminate the euthanasia of adoptable animals in the Triangle-area of NC and beyond.
Mark your calendars and come out and shop for unique handcrafted gifts and support artists and independent designers:

I've been printing all night and a lil bit weird this morning. On the other hand I found this cool 80's station on Friday that I've been listening to in between the Ipod and NPR. Truth is I am a NPR junkie and was trying to give NPR a rest this weekend...or at least until today.
