Crafty ones – a question: who are the not-to-miss crafters we should all visit at The Big Crafty this weekend?

Here are some of the responses I’ve received so far:

-I’m looking forward to buying a piece(s) by Gabriel Shaffer. Might get my nephew some Crankypants.

-I really love Prairie Dog’s embroidery. And Vintage Vanity’s upcycled necklaces.

Kung Fu Clay, aka Jenifer Goff, is cool – wild but useful ceramics.

What else?

(Thanks to Rita, Robin and James for these suggestions, via Facebook.)

    Brandi love… Why thank you!

    I won’t be selling my Apple-a-go-go cozies at this Big Crafty, but will be at the Holiday one in December.

    So many! But some of my favorites are: Final Approach, The Runny Bunny, Canoo, Cozyblue, Faerie Made and Circles and Squares. Looking forward to getting me some "Lemons with a Pea" goodness.

    Aw, thanks for the Crankypants lurve!

    I am looking forward to getting some of Robin Plemmons’ (Lemons with a Pea) awesomely quirky stuff and checking out what Meri Hannon at The Urban Olive has this time around. I also always love looking at Patty Bilbro’s amazing pottery. I am hoping that I can leave my booth long enough to make a few rounds!

    Where else can you go take in all of this crafty goodness, grab a Mexican Chocolate cupcake from Short Street and wash it down with one of 5 locally crafted beers?

    I’ll be outside by the Vance Memorial, come by and say hi!

    Early Girl has the cutest crocheted stuff ever! The apple jackets are the PERFECT small gifts for friends and co-workers. I bought at least 10 last Christmas, and the hairpins are adorable!!!
