Crafty Supermarket

This is the sight that greeted you when you approached this year's Crafty Supermarket at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center: Cafe de Wheels!

We've been to all three Crafty Supermarkets so far, and I have to say: this winter's was far and away the best. I was amazed at how much this event has grown even since last time!

Dojo Gelato was in attendance, as were representatives from Picnic & Pantry, selling stew and other awesome lunch options. This is itself makes the event so much more accessible and compelling.

I've felt in the past that it was very hard to walk in and buy something-- the gifts were too esoteric (and often too expensive) to walk out with an armload.

This time around, I felt that there was a huge range of offerings that would fit many different styles. Jewelry, papercraft, clothing, vintage items, you name it. There were plenty of things I couldn't afford but I had no problem finding a handful of gifts that my family and friends are going to love.

We were there around 3pm, and the place was packed wall to wall. Ben Davis was laying down the music and every vendor seemed to be doing brisk business. This is a fantastic event, and a great partner for Cincinnati Unchained!

I had a fantastic time at this! I couldn't believe how many people there were there, and there was an enormous variety of things to pick through.

A friend of mine who had a stand there made more money there than in three Second Sundays! What a great opportunity for the vendors too! They were really raking it in.

I'm so glad to hear the vendors were doing well!
