The Scoop Magazine/Hatch Market team worked hard tying up loose ends after months of planning this first time event. I imagine this would be a tough thing to do the first year.
Things were a bit hectic as we set up. I didn't get the spot I imagined, which was a 10x10 spot covered by a tent they would provide. Once we got there I realized that the space I was given was not going to work. A six foot table connected to a long line of other tables covered by a HUGE tent. Sadly, no place to hang my art.

It looked like this.A few things seemed to fall through the cracks, such as SIGNAGE! None on the surrounding streets to attract impulsive, looking for something to do, weekenders or for people intentionally looking for us. I believe that oversight kept the crowd a bit thinner than we'd expected. You live and learn.
BUT, I was very much humbled by all the creative people and true Indie stuff!

One of these days I'll remember to take great close ups for you!
The best part was meeting people like this. Jessica of ButterBeanBabies and Jodi of JodieMOFirst craft show for them. What a dynamite job they did!
Here's Joe, my dear husband/pack mule, chatting with a customer.This is not his thing but he hung in there to the end!
She makes THE most beautiful handmade journals, one of which I bought for Joe.
His birthday was Sunday.

These two talented ladies are best friends. Joyajewelry and Linwood Avenue. They too were rerouted, but lucked out with this great space in the garden under a vine covered arbor.
So She Sews and her very sweet significant other. I love her recycled creations. Check her out at SoSheSews.etsy.comI met so many other great artists and crafters,
but no time to run around with the camera.

I loved seeing art that I recognized from your blog. Everyone seems so nice. The offerings looked very original. Stuff has been so same-y, same-y at art shows lately. Great post.
Ronnie,
I had a great time at the Hatch Market, too. We ended up moving from the "big tent" also and were really pleased with our spot in the garden. Thanks for posting great pictures. The people were amazing!

Hey it all looks great!!! Hope you had a good time and made some sales!!
i came to the show late sunday evening, right before they ended, but was looking out for you! i didn't see ya, you must've packed up before the rain hit.
thanks for the run-down on how the show went..that's what i was sort of expecting for the first year. we'll see if i maybe do it next year. do you think you'd do that show again?
hope it went well for you, and i like your recreation of the "keep calm and carry on" poster. :)
the best stuff always ends up in the weirdest spots... like infront of the air conditioner... they're having growing pains... loved seeing your stuff! ~PJ
