This month, stay in the loop with Etsy events across the globe — from a storytelling workshop in The Netherlands to the bounty of local markets — you have much to look forward to.
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Find our HandmadeMN team on October 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for HandmadeMN Market. Explore 45+ local artists and crafters offering handmade jewelry, knitted goods, clothing, baby items, toys, purses, stationery, wallets, and more!
Washington, DC
If you didn’t make it out to see us and the crafty DC universe down at Crafty Bastards last weekend, never fear, you can still check out all the vendors online on their website. And you can still vote for your choice of Craftiest Bastard until October 8, so get voting!
Eindhoven, Netherlands
During Dutch Design Week, on October 25, come to a storytelling workshop at SmalleHaven with our own Randy Hunt, Creative Director at Etsy. Today’s designer is an entrepreneur and a storyteller. Customers are becoming more mindful, and they’re interested in more than a thing in a box. They’re buying more than just design, they’re buying entire experiences rooted in stories. This workshop helps designers tell and sell the story of their products, their brand, and themselves through a combination of examples and exercises. Make sure to bring your imagination and creativity. RSVP here.
Etsy will have a meet-and-greet booth at Bowerbird Bazaar taking place in Adelaide, South Australia from October 28 – 30. Bowerbird Bazaar provides a dynamic and upmarket environment where local and interstate designers, artists and craftspeople are proud to showcase and promote their work. With over 75 selected stall holders, Adelaide’s Design Market brings together the latest in Australian design. Bowerbird Bazaar also offers a relaxed environment with cool tunes, great coffee, boutique wine and gourmet delights.
Are you an Etsy seller from South Australia? Please get in touch with Kirsteene, Etsy’s Australian Community Manager for more information on how you can be involved. Keep up to date with all events and opportunities for the Aussie community by signing up for the newsletter here.
Paris, France
Find Etsy and other local French sellers at the Salon du Vintage market on October 29 and 30, where a selection of vintage furniture and clothing shops will highlight their collections inside a new Parisian location dedicated to fashion.
Are you local and looking to stay in touch? Check out our French blog and sign up for our newsletter for more events in France.

My first crafters night is a go here in Fayetteville,N.C.on the second Friday of November. After watching the church lady in the video forum I had an a ha moment. That is a great way to meet other crafters & Etsyians. so Hobby Lobby on Skiebo Rd here in my town is letting me use one of their craft rooms for FREE!!! I have 3 ladies already confirmed. Will be going out next weekend to put up more flyers. Hobby Lobby will also be listing it on their craft calender next month. Look out Fayetteville here we all come!! :)

Talk about staying connected....Why not send Thank You notes to friends and family that have helped paved the way for creativity. The smallest gestures of sending Thank You notes, to someone in the mail, helps them too, to stay connected with you, and wow, imagine the smiles.
