Know of an event that you think fits? Local happenings related to: handmade, craft, gardening, family, sustainable life, kids, the environment.... email, sunnysideupmama@gmail.com to let me know, I am happy to share the good news.
................................................................................................
Today, I have a couple local and handmade shopping opportunities to share. Begin the day at the Monart-isan craft fest in San Luis Obispo with a fantastic collection of handmade goods for sale followed by a wonderful jewelry shopping opportunity on the Coast, I heard there will also me some yummy baby-knits available! The talent here on the Central Coast is simply amazing. I feel certain there is no need to shop anyhwere other than local handmade! That is, if you are local, if not many local businesses also sell online.
So here's the scoop.
