Last Sunday my Sister, Ruari, and I headed over to Crafty Wonderland. Crafty Wonderland is Portland’s indie/craft market! I sold some of my crowns at this show back when I was first pregnant. There are some amazing artists there!

The show was not as exciting for Ruari as it was for me. 🙂

There were MANY sellers that I just loved! It would take me hours to list all of them… So, I’ll just list a couple of my faves:
Turtle Monkey Bug: Cute Dolls, Moustaches, and more!
Bella Sisters: Awesome repurposed jackets! I’ve been wanting one of these for a couple years now!
Slide Sideways: Awesome prints!
Rachel Austin: Painting and other lovelies!
And, yes… I met Mark Montano! I was a total nerd and asked if I could get a photo with him. He was so nice to me and said sure… even though I’m sure he thought I was crazy! 😉
{Yeah, that’s right! I met him! Mr. Mark Montano!}
If you don’t know who he is… where have you been? Kidding. He is Mark Montano: TV Host, Author, Designer, and Artist. You may have seen him on While you were out or 10 years Younger on TLC. He also has two AWESOME books out. The Big Ass Book of Crafts and his newest book, The Big Ass Book of Home Decor. I want them!
ooooh so fun! The only kind of craft shows we get around here are all country-ish, which gets pretty old. Looks like you had a great time!
Super cute re-purposed jackets!Love the pic of Ruari taking a power nap:)
Oh how fun!!! I'm loving all of the different artistic mediums:) I've left you a little sumthin-sumthin on my blog….stop by and grab it when you can:)
This looks amazing! Is it a year-round market or just a once a year event? I need to get down there and see it for myself!PS – I love that you are in Portland. Portland is my favorite place in the whole world. I was born there and lived there until I went off to college. 🙂
You guys are having too much fun…just kiddin…Hey is he saying us crafters have big Asses??
