Minneapolis? Perhaps some day........

May 21, 2009 at 8:49 p.m. RSSDesignsInFiber

I don't do craft fairs, but would love to meet up with some people from Etsy somewhere in Southern CA near LA. I am north of LA in the High Desert. Since someone is planning on being here for the Renegade Fair July 11th-12th -- maybe something the days before or after? Will be watching for more info on the west-coast tour other than San Fran in June.

May 21, 2009 at 10:10 p.m. thevintagesupplyco

You should visit South Florida and join us at Stitch-rock, a handmade and vintage event in Delray Beach
Oct 3rd.
Hope to see you there!

Why not Florida????

I am lonely artist here in West Palm Beach.....

May 21, 2009 at 10:49 p.m. kristenashton

Don't forget us in Florida!! Orlando is a great place for the tour. PLEASE!!!!!!

May 21, 2009 at 11:16 p.m. SpiralLogic

South Carolina deserves a look-see too. We have several really good shows. The absolute best, in my opinion, has been Picolo Spoleto, in late spring, in Charleston; and Atalaya, in September, at Huntingdon Beach State Park. I used to absolutely love doing both those shows! And nearby North Carolina has some really great shows also. Somebody earlier in the posts spoke of Lazy Daze, in Cary. That was always a solid performer- however it used to be only one day. That may have changed. Another great one to check out is the New Morning Gallery Show, in Biltmore Village in Asheville. These shows were the creme de la creme in the Carolinas, and unless there have been truly drastic changes in the past few years, I am sure they still are.

May 22, 2009 at 1:51 a.m. AFarmersDaughter

Hello how about a stop at the UPRISING CRAFT IN SEATTLE IN AUGUST???

May 22, 2009 at 2:01 a.m. Owlishly

I want to go the the Maker Faire, but probably am not going to be able to. I do think I'll be at Renegade Craft Fair in LA, as a shopper/observer though. If you did a West Coast tour where would you go?

May 22, 2009 at 2:22 a.m. AlliesAdornments

Hope to see you at the Maker Faire! Etsy's SteamTeam will have a group there too.

May 22, 2009 at 4:40 a.m. crochetgal

When Brooklyn's winter starts to get you down, why don't you just pack up the Etsy travel bus and head out to the sunny Arizona desert? Its so much nicer to do art festivals during the winter when the temperature is reasonable than during the summer when the temps rarely fall below 100F during the day..

May 22, 2009 at 11:31 a.m. minniesheart

The Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles, yay!

I'll be at Lucketts Spring Market, in Lucketts VA - only 1 hour NW of Washington DC - this coming weekend - May 30 and 31 - cool handmade and vintage!!!

Please come to Florida

May 24, 2009 at 2:27 p.m. camichic

I think this is an excellent idea, but do you have an aversion to the East Coast? I am in the Deep South and would travel some distance to talk and learn from ya'll, but you are nowhere near me. Try Atlanta, GA, ok?

May 24, 2009 at 11:34 p.m. BrookeTroutDesigns

Oh, I do wish I was even remotely close to oen of these locations...I am new to ETSY and I am hooked! I agree with camichic, East coast is where it's at! Of course, nothing ever comes up here to Maine, but hey, wee're used to having to drive to Boston for anything remotely interesting! Come to the Northeast! We need an ETSY fix!

Ok... how about the Midwest... MO... Iowa... Western Ill... Kansas???

You definitely need to visit Nashville. The Annual American Artisan Festival is this summer (in June) featuring some Etsians - including my Etsy Metal Team member Danielle Miller Jewelry. Or you can come any month and visit the much anticipated monthly Walden Artisan Market which also features many Etsy sellers including myself and Mary from Maryink. :)

I am really going to try to head over from Sacramento to SF to come visit on the 9th! My sister is coming from out of state to visit, but if I can talk her into it, we'll be there! I think we'd both really have fun with it and I would LOVE to put some faces to names! Every time I meet other Etsy people, it's just wonderful.

June 2, 2009 at 3:23 a.m. imakecutestuff

Oh please Oh PLEASE come up to Seattle to visit! Did you know we just passed 600 EtsyRAIN members on our meetup group? Yep. (637 as of this writing) No kidding! Let us know when and we'll plan one heck of a shindig for y'all! Go EtsyRAIN Go!!

Come to Dallas Texas!!!! Enjoy some southern hospitality!!

June 10, 2009 at 12:30 a.m. mamapainter

Please don't forget about the South, specifically gulf coast region. We have such diversitity and amazing INDI art are. In the spring we hold the worlds largesst R0deo, carnival and BBQ cook off. How could we miss that. Maybe we could together a teamna use supplies provided by vendors to show type of quality we have!! This is an awesom idea really.

I can be tied in with the Mardie Graw that Galveston Islands hosts and it's getting bigger and bigger every yet.

That would covere the period from Mid Dec., through the end of March. Always something happen here. People com from all over the world. It could potentially be blogbuster for starts and existing stores for purchases.

Let me know if there is any specific info that I dig up and send to you. I'd be more than gladly to help this. After all, Houston is one of the top 7 cities in the Un.Sts. I believe she's 5th actually, or maybe 3.

O=Please give this some serious consideration, we love to make things our self here and we keept d getting over looked for the easier markets on the East and West Coast.
