the handmade artists and a sweet giveaway...

The Handmade Market is this Saturday @ the Beat Coffee House in Uptown (MPLS)
9am-5pm
I'm very excited to meet all of the wonderful artists.

Wendy Peterson: Clairemonet.etsy.com
Duckie Uglings (sorry for misspelling the name): beccajo.etsy.com
Heads Twogether-Maren & Dena: headstwogether.etsy.com

Unfortunately,
Miche Mailloux and Waist2Wrist won't be able to show at the market, but you should check out their work. There will also be a couple more artists who are not mentioned here. It will probably be a rainy fall day...perfect weather for a good hot coffee.

And now for a giveaway!!
A handknit hat in your color/style choice could be yours.
All you have to do is share the event on your facebook page, post it on your blog, tweet about it, post a myspace bulletin, etc about the Handmade Market and the give away. (if you have a private profile, you will have to add me so that i can see it).
Then come back to this blog post, and add a comment with the link to where you posted it and your email.

On Friday evening, I will pick a winner (using a random number generator).

(since the hat will be knit specifically for you, it will take approximately 1-2 weeks to get it to you)
Here are some links for you to post:
Facebook
Myspace

Thanks everyone!
