Almost Show Time

The holiday Queen City Craft Bazaar is almost here! Saturday November 19th from 10am-6pm you will find over 40 of Vermont's best indie crafters, artists and designers all in one space.  This is the 5th year of the QCCB and I am thrilled at how much it has grown.  If you haven't been to this show before you are in for a treat.  For starters, it is held in one of the coolest buildings in Burlington, Union Station at 1 Main Street.

It is also very different once you step in the doors.  The Queen City Craft Bazaar is Vermont's indie craft extravaganza. Each show is juried which results in an exciting mix of unique handmade goods.  

You can't help but feel inspired and creative when you walk through this show.  The level of talent that comes to sell their work amazes me year after year.

Here's a little sneak peak at the kind of products you will see on Saturday
