If you know and love us in California, you know by now this is our favorite market to do hands down, no contest! We've been a vendor here since 2010 and have learned a thing or two about selling on the road. Patchwork Show is a truly legitimate venue for artists in the way the founders, Nicole and Delilah, come from maker backgrounds themselves. They live art and breathe creative dust. Their life mission is to promote all things independent and handcrafted. The bi-annual juried craft show takes place in Long Beach (by the marina), Santa Ana and Oakland CA and is attended by an incredibly loyal following of attendees. All of the artisans and designers here are serious about their work, cool, and look forward to this event like it's New Year's Eve. It's stocked with food trucks and popsicles, pet-friendly and free to attend. What more is needed for a fun day of strolling and shopping? At every event I find something to take home for gifts that I've literally never seen before. Show up, say hi (and goodbye); it's our last show in L.A. We will be giving it away, so to speak..
