Shadow Art Fair, Summer 2011

Sorry I haven't yet had an opportunity to share these pics! There's a local arts & crafts show held twice a year near me called  
The Shadow Art Fair
and I got a chance to go last weekend before heading up north to see my family. One of the best parts about the event is that it's held in a brewery with a huge outdoor area to sit & chat with friends while listening to music from a few local bands. And of course it's always fun seeing what sorts of things creative people are up to!

My favorites of all were the framed Mittens of Michigan, and the photography of fellow Etsy seller Stephanie Bracciano. (see last photo) Her shop, Deep Within the Armoire is here. It was neat to meet many other Etsy sellers at the fair this year! It's always inspiring learning about the interests and talents of so many locals too.

Shadow Art Fair, Winter 2009

There is a local independent arts & crafts fair that goes on in the spring, and again in the winter every year. It is relatively new, I believe, and it's called The Shadow Art Fair. I absolutely LOVE it, and try to make it every time I can.

Here are a few things I really liked from the fair, it was held just this past Saturday.

The cycle-powered cinema. More info here.


Talk about a work-out, but such a COOL idea! Thanks Andy! :)

These gorgeous cakes from a company called Sweet Heather Anne. I love when bakers give you a sample too, what a TREAT. It was seriously delicious, and how PRETTY too!


LauraLyn (fellow Etsian!) had cute handmade Cosplay & Lolita styles. I really liked this scarf.
Cute bows & headbands too.


Bright kiss paintings = COOL.


The faces on these mugs really caught my eye! By yet another fellow Etsian
called J. Thomson Pots.
Aren't they fun?




Adorable. Wish I could remember the name of this shop! I'm sorry!

Their beard hats made me smile. :) They look so warm.

Pretty block prints.

A cool shirt I saw, just had to take a pic. ;)


And finally my favorite of all the vendors! Jewelry seller Sara Bradstreet. She was super sweet and friendly, and I LOVED her amazing statement pieces created from vintage jewelry. I was so happy to find out that she also has a little etsy shop called Broad Street! :)


Hope you enjoyed this little peek from an awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon. For more information about the Shadow Art Fair, click HERE.
