Another Twilight Market

We've had our third time at Twilight Market, and with the sun going down earlier now (oh no!) the market is moving its hours up to 3-6:30.
Our next night there is August 30. The market will run weekly until the farmers are out of produce.

Etsy Teams

Here's our write up in the Etsy Teams Digest:
EtsyPittsburgh has been all about motivation this summer! Members have been super busy teaming up to vend at events like the city’s unique nomadic indie craft fair I Made It! Market, spearheaded by team member zippull. By getting together at fairs and markets to root each other on and to share spaces, tents, supplies, advice, and laughs, Team Pittsburgh has established a supportive crafting community in the Steel City! To find out more about the team, its recent goings on, and why you should join, visit their Team blog. See some of their fabulous creations in the team’s Flickr pool.

Here's the link. We're in the middle of the page.
Thanks Silentlotus for the excellent write-up.

Charmed by Nature


Charmed by Nature, originally uploaded by hairycarrot.

"The twilight market is a tiny bit of heaven! I brought home so many goodies...bread, spices, pierogies, blueberries, zukes... The smells coming from my kitchen right now are amazing! The other vendors were SO friendly! I found a loaf of bread on my table at the end and didn't even get to say thanks! You guys have to meet the woman who has a farm in Mercer... she has turkeys, goats, sheep...a garden..she also spins her wool and knits and makes soap from the goat's milk. She showed us goat skins that were tanned using the goat's brains. I could totally be this woman's groupie!:)
I had some sales which is always nice and had a great time hanging out with Lz and EJ and Jenn. So many fun ideas!
I think my blueberry pie is done..mmmmm
