Even if you aren’t going to apply to be a vendor for the Detroit Urban Craft Fair, you should seriously go check out the website - detroiturbancraftfair.com. I may be a little biased, because our friend Josh Weston designed it and my husband Dan programmed it, but I think this website is pure awesome. Designed piece by piece on paper and scanned in, it’s amazingly cute with a Monty Python-esque pop-up book style, and also gives the real time Detroit weather in the skyline! It’s also chock full of useful information about the upcoming Detroit Urban Craft Fair (in a new location - the Fillmore Detroit!), and has some really nifty applications for us Handmade Detroit girls to use that will save us hours of work in planning and selecting our vendors. Its fun to play around with for anyone, and I love it!
