Calling Cape Cod Crafters!!

So a friend & I were having lunch today and discussing the idea of getting together a crafting "guild" for Etsy sellers on Cape Cod. Apparently she'd talked about this with other crafters she knew, just as I'd discussed it a few weeks ago with another crafting friend.

I love the idea of getting young (in body or mind), vibrant crafters together - people who don't want to make granny squares all day. I think we could have a lot of fun planning events - we both agreed that the typical "craft fair" conjures images of sweaters with appliques and bake sale cookies. My ideal would combine the traditional booths with some more exciting elements - like a Chinese auction or a fashion show! I think holding a runway show with handmade clothing, jewelry, accessories, and even shoes or makeup would be fantastic.


From just the people I've spoken to, we already have some women's clothing, jewelry, purses, shawls, pet accessories, baby clothes, photography, and more.


I'd love to see what other people out there think! Please post or send me a convo if you're in the Cape Cod area and would be interested in showing that handmade items aren't just for grannies anymore!
