Artisans at the Etz

Sunday, November 15, 2009
Congregation Etz Chaim, Marietta, GA
11 am – 5 pm

I personally have never heard of this Artisans at the Etz festival but I don’t live in Marietta or East Cobb. Gathering information from their website, there will be approximately 45 different vendors with arts and crafts and it is free entry into the festival. If you are in this area, this may be a good chance for you to get outside and enjoy the great weather we are supposed to have this weekend.

Indie Craft Experience
Saturday, November 21, 2009
Ambient + Photo Studio, Atlanta, Georgia
11 am – 6 pm

This Indie Craft Experience has been a fairly well promoted event through my artist friends who have been accepted into this holiday art market. There is a $5 entry fee for this holiday shopping spectacular. Judging from the the listed artist vendors on the website, I would say the $5 will be well spent to see what’s inside this event!

Did I miss an event worthy of mentioning here? Let me know in the comments section!
