Wow what an experience! Thank you to all our wonderful customers who came out to support local indie craft last weekend. The event exceeded my expecatations. I went to the new ArtsRiot space during their opening at the Art Hop a few months ago. I stood there in the middle of the room, drink in hand, music playing, watching crowds of people mingle with friends and I had a vision. I texted my friend Maggie and said "I think I've found the new home for the Queen City Craft Bazaar." The next morning I could not get this vision out of my head. I knew it would be a big risk to move the show, but I felt so strongly that it was time and I knew ArtsRiot was the place for it.
This is the 7th year of the Queen City Craft Bazaar. For the most of those years it's been bi-annual. Not only have we changed the location, but our goal is to also change (increase) the frequency of the shows. Keep checking back for details. If you don't follow us on Facebook yet now is the time to start!
If you haven't checked out all the photos from the show you can find them here.<br />
<br />
Thank you to Maggie for agreeing to come along this ride with me.<br />
<br />
Thank you again to the amazing vendors who took the chance on this new journey and to our customers who followed us to the new location and those who found us for the first time.<br />
<br />
Thanks to ArtsRiot for letting me bring my vision to life
<br />
Thanks to Quiet Lion for the lovely music<br />
Thanks to Matt Bogosian for taking beautiful photos.<br />

Since 2007 the Queen City Craft Bazaar has been the place to promote indie crafters, artists and designers from Vermont and our surrounding neighbors. We are a unique curated show offering the best selection of vendors and products to our supportive and loyal customers. This fall we will be embarking on a new adventure. Because we truly do embrace indie/DIY spirit, we are shaking it up a bit and holding the show in a new location.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #525760; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Jamrul, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
We are super excited to announce that the 2013 Holiday Queen City Craft Bazaar will be held on Saturday, November 23rd at the newly opened <a data-mce-href="http://artsriot.com/" href="http://artsriot.com/" style="color: #0093da; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">ArtsRiot</a> space on Pine Street. This new location allows us to experiment with the show in ways we couldn't before.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #525760; font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Jamrul, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
The ArtsRiot space is smaller which does mean we will have to limit the number of vendors we can accept. Floor plans are being worked on now, but we estimate being able to offer 25-30 spots opposed to the 40 spots in the previous location. Based on customer feedback over the years it is our goal going forward to offer more shows throughout the year rather than just two larger ones. We believe this will allow more year round opportunities for vendors and more frequent shopping opportunities for our customers.</div>

<br />
I hope all you crazy crafters had a wonderful holiday season. I am very exciting about the new year because I have a little project up my sleeves that I will be working on soon. I can't wait to share!<br />
<br />
Until then I've been busy busy promoting Vermont indie crafters on <a href="http://pinterest.com/kaceyfreelboone/queen-city-craft/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. Follow the board. If you are a customer you can use this board to help you discover and keep up with the local indie craft scene, and if you an indie crafter check to see if you have been highlighted. If you have it's a good idea to monitor the referral traffic coming to your Etsy shop or website to see if Pinterest is helping to drive any traffic or sales.<br />
<br />
Shine on lovely crafting community. I can't wait to share my big news with you in the coming months!<br />

Now living and working out of Upstate NY, his latest project Twenty Four Hour Woman is a 2013 one a day calendar that celebrates woman and we are excited to announce he will be in Burlington this weekend to sell them at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/241300229329433/" target="_blank">Queen City Craft Bazaar</a> on Saturday November 17th from 10am-4pm.<br />
<br />
Here is a little insight from Scott about this project:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="background-color: white; color: #555555;">"Twenty Four Hour Woman</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555;"> is a 2013 one-a-day calendar not unlike the popular </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #555555;">Far Side</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555;"> calendars of the ’80s. It’s a simple idea that is meant to celebrate the woman caught in the act of whatever it is she is doing, one day at a time. This nude series started as an exercise a few years ago in my studio as a way to warm up my brain, get my hand moving and help ease any seriousness that might have been floating around. Each day of this 5″ X 4″ (approx.) tear-off calendar contains a different little drawing of a naked lady doing something different for every day of the year. I have spent the last year and a half illustrating the limitless list of activities and tasks and have done my best to do so with love and honesty."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'lucida grande', 'liberation sans', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KRst-U3dolA/UKUkl8VgWLI/AAAAAAAAA6A/U9_nIfKEemI/s1600/24Hour_photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KRst-U3dolA/UKUkl8VgWLI/AAAAAAAAA6A/U9_nIfKEemI/s320/24Hour_photo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'lucida grande', 'liberation sans', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">These calendars make a great holiday gift. The new year is coming, you know you need a new calendar or you know someone who does so why not make it something that was locally designed and printed? No excuses. Come down to the show on Saturday and grab some. </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638873858382393502.post-32063965170220521672012-11-03T08:15:00.000-04:002012-11-03T08:15:40.769-04:00A Very Special VT Collab<br />

One of the things I love best about running the Queen City Craft Bazaar is the process of jurying the show. We handpick vendors to fill over 40 spots every year. It's a hard process, but since the show began in 2007 it has been juried and I truly believe this allows us to provide a fresh and truly unique curated show each year. One of the things I hate most about running the QCCB is jurying the show. It breaks my heart to have to turn away so many talented crafters. We strive to provide a good balance of different types of work. Not too many of one thing while trying to stick to the vibe of the show that has made it so successful over the years. We are different. We are not a typical craft show and keeping with this vibe means having to make some tough choices sometimes. Thank you to everyone who applied this year. <br />
<div>

We are extremely pleased with the show we have put together for you though and so we are happy to present to you the <a href="http://www.queencitycraft.com/p/vendors.html" target="_blank"><b>2012 Holiday Queen City Craft Bazaar Vendors!</b></a> Take a sneak peak and get ready to shop local, shop handmade on Saturday November 17th at Union Station in Burlington VT from 10am-4pm. </div>

Fall is such a time are inspiration for me. Hopefully most of you were able to attend the <a href="http://seaba.com/art-hop/" target="_blank">Art Hop</a> and get inspired yourself. I know I did. The event was filled with some amazing work including indie crafters! As the applications for the show are rolling in I'm beginning to get very excited. The Queen City Craft Bazaar is a unique show that focuses on indie crafters, artists and designers from Vermont and the surrounding states. I know I have a blast running the show and I hope everyone loves coming out to support the work of the vendors.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Scrolling through <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy </a>today I picked out a few pieces that spoke to me by three different Vermont indie crafters. Remember to shop local and buy handmade!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
See you in November!</div>

<br />
I have been toying with the idea for the past year, trying to figure out how to make it work at the show. I thought about a DJ, but it just never really felt right. I've been stuck on this vision of having live music, but with a busker like vibe to it. I wanted to create an atmosphere similar to walking around an outside market shopping while music is playing near by.<br />
<br />
But who?<br />
<br />
I recently stumbled upon a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgzplQmO11w&context=C4c5ed0fADvjVQa1PpcFMDpC-ljXbGdgpVYiaKn5peEPaj5Mjxj2o=&noredirect=1" target="_blank">video</a> on YouTube of two people playing in what they called "the smallest bathroom in Burlington." I knew they would be perfect! They had just the vibe I was looking for. I tracked them down and the rest is history. They will be a great addition to the show.<br />
<br />
So, without further ado I introduce to you Vedora!<br />
<br />
Vedora is a rock trio from Burlington, VT, whose sound is driven by sultry/raspy vocals, jangly guitar, melodic bass lines and driving drums. Its founding members, Caroline O'Connor and Matt Hastings have played together since 2009. Vedora was formed when Jeff LaBossiere joined on drums in early 2012.

I finally got off my butt and joined <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>a few weeks ago. What the heck was I waiting for? I see so many of my friends and craft vendors have been pinning away already so I had some catching up to do. What can you do with Pinterest? What can't you do is really the question. People create boards with different themes such as My Style, Food, Crafts, Kitchens, etc. Then they "pin" photographs they find online or "re pin" from other users to their boards. It's a brilliant way to find inspiration for project, keep track of photos of kitchens you like for a big remodel, get garden design ideas and so much more! Really the ideas of how to use this site are endless.<br />
<br />
Another interesting way to use <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>is for your craft business. Talk about viral sharing, this is the place to make it happen. Create a board for the items you create and pin directly from your Etsy site or your website. if you put a $ in the description (Etsy does this automatically) it will create a small price banner across your photo. If you are manually adding your pin remember to put in the website url so people can click through to the page. I've created a <a href="http://pinterest.com/purpleelm/queen-city-craft/" target="_blank">board here</a> for Queen City Craft. I'm using it to promote items created by indie crafters in Vermont. The more people re pin, the more viral your products go. Just remember to delete the picture if it is something that has sold. Also don't make your Pinterest account all about selling. Create other boards of interest so you have a variety of content to share. Check it out and think about how you can use this great new tool to help out your business as well.<br />
