I made new colors of record earrings yesterday especially for the Green Street Fair (It starts tomorrow!). Quite spring-y colors, aren’t they? I love how much the grooves pop on these ones!
If there are any left after this weekend’s fair, they’ll be up on the website next week!
It seems the swine flu pushed off the airing of our lil’ segment yesterday – it aired this morning instead! Here it is!
My friend Lish and I will be on Fox 2 news tonight promoting Handmade Detroit and our involvement in the upcoming Green Street Fair in downtown Plymouth! Check it out at 5:00, 6:00 and 10:00 tonight!
I’ll be posting it on the blog after it airs, too!
Handmade Detroit is hosting a Swap-O-Rama-Rama next weekend (May 1-3) in downtown Plymouth as a part of the Green Street Fair, and we’re looking for some help! The Swap-O-Rama-Rama teaches anyone who stops in how to use an otherwise unwanted piece of clothing to create a new, useful item for yourself! Ideas on what to make include tote bags, pillows, skirts and pet toys out of donated clothing, and participation is free!
We need volunteers for the Swap-O-Rama-Rama! Experienced sewers are especially needed, but non-sewers are super appreciated too! An hour or a day, any of your time is helpful in teaching people of all ages how to repurpose their used clothing into a new useful something! If you are interested in volunteering, please email me at bethany@rewarevintage.com
We are also in need of clothing donations for the Swap-o-Rama-Rama! If you live in the Plymouth-ish area, and have some clothing or linens in your home you’d like to donate, please bring it to the Swap-O-Rama-Rama on any day at any time that weekend, and we’ll find new uses for your donations! If you can’t make it, but would like to get us donations another way, please email me at bethany@rewarevintage.com and we’ll arrange getting it from ya!
Thanks so much for your support!
I wrote a crazy long new Crafty Biz post for the Handmade Detroit blog about writing a business plan. Check it out here!
