Art vs. Craft a smashing sucess & Mad Craft-mas in Madison

2,000 shoppers came though the doors this past weekend to check out the 90 vendors who showed off there wares at the third bi-annual Art vs. Craft ! I will have pictures to post soon, I left the camera batteries charging at home (DANG~!) so I had a friend take some for me, they have not yet arrived in my inbox.

The feedback so far has been great. I couldn't be more pleased considering parking was almost impossible and that many folks still showed up! In June the event will be at a new location (soon to be announced) with less stairs and a, gasp, elevator, if we have to trudge upstairs.

Working with my store business partner Kim on the show proved to be a sucess as well, we work smoothly together and she made the event more organized and got all of our 30 volunteers coordinated. The volunteers get the biggest props of all considering they do all sorts of crazy work like lug up boxes and boxes of crafts for vendors up a ridiculous amount of stairs.

Here are some links to some press we got previous to the show:
