Crafty + Vintage Sidewalk Sale


Saturday, June 23 from 10-5 pm

Sunday, June 24 from 11am - 4 pm

New merchandise each day!


It's time to clear out our stash of craft supplies! Join us for our annual sidewalk sale.

THE PROBLEM: After nearly 10 years in the same location, I've accumulated too much crafty stuff that I don't have the time to use. I've run out of space for new fabric and supplies that are coming in every day!

THE SOLUTION: Sell our overstock of fabric, ribbons, beads, baubles, glitter, decorative paper, craft books, gift wrap supplies and more via a sidewalk sale!

We'll have cool stuff for the crafter in you! This year we'll also have vintage treasures to peruse. All at great prices.

Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details. Check out the Facebook invite here.

The smoky black of graphite serves as the namesake of our newest premium faux leather. This material has the same matte base with subtle sheen as the tip of your favorite No.2 pencil.

Here is a Clara wristlet made with Graphite and topped with our black and old gold floral ribbon. Super soft and supple, the material is understated yet expensive-feeling.

Material Spotlight: Our Zipper Supplier


We use YKK zippers, top quality notions that are made in the USA.

We buy our zippers in bulk from an historic supplier in the garment district of New York.

This video is a fascinating look into their business, which was started in the 1940s by an entrepreneur who escaped the Nazis.
