I have been looking for the fun craftster scene since we moved to Colorado. There are a lot of cool crafty people here who upcycle and create, but I have not found the craftster scene yet. That is until today. I followed the trail from Friday’s re-nest post on 23 handmade craft shows to Hello Crafts post on the shows from last week. Low and behold, Holiday Handmade in Denver, CO. Yeah it was this past weekend, yesterday and Friday to be exact. No problem though, the link took me to Fancy Tiger Crafts and Denver Handmade Alliance. I will be heading into this craft store the next time I am in Denver on a weekend afternoon, I will also be following both online.
However I do not live in Denver, a little further north. In my hood I love the lab space at Common Threads in Boulder as well as their consignment clothing store.
Also this past weekend in Longmont was the holiday market the local farmers market puts on at the Boulder County Fairgrounds if you wanted to buy local in person.
If you want to craft and/or upcyle yourself my fave stores are the Salvo on 33rd just north of Arapahoe, the Humane Society Thrift Store on Arapahoe and the Resource Yard on 63rd to find bits and pieces of projects to work on.
