Vance Craft Explosion

We're excited to share that Vance Elementary will be putting on their first annual Holiday Craft Explosion!

Organized by one rockin' Mama and [ahem] Asheville's "Best Craft Blog" winner, Amy! She'll be in good company considering there will be a little Asheville Etsy Street Team representin' too. Proceeds to benefit projects and programs at Vance Elementary.

Etsy's "Featured Seller" is a local!

That Ignatius Turnip is a sly one. Made a second appearance on the front page of Etsy last night. Way to go sneaky pants.

Southern Exposure

What a sweet treat that Anne of Southernist exposed a little of what the artsy and crafty folk here in NC are up to. Aside from Craft Attack talk, she also makes reference to some other local goodness such as Penland School of Craft, the Southern Highland Craft Guild, and of course Asheville Etsy as well as our fellow NC Street Teams.

Thanks Anne!
