My picks of the #ArtStarCraftBazaar: Home Goods
On Sunday, I went to the annual Art Start Craft Bazaar at Penn’s Landing. I was blown away by the quality and talent of all 130 vendors featured. It was super inspirational and since I have been putting together my wedding registry, I was more motivated to put the vendors I liked rather than the typical Crate and Barrel stuff. Hey Etsy or Art Star: start an online wedding registry and let me run it! Actually, I had this conversation with some of the vendors as well as with the Art Star ladies and they all mentioned Etsy’s Treasury lists where you can curate selections, but its still in its experimental stage. Etsy does feature specific selections every once in awhile tailored to weddings or other seasonal shopping foci. Anyway, below are some beautiful home goods artisans I came across, some of which I have put on my registry through myregistry.com
