Craft Fairs and The Cheese Traveler

Today seems like a good day to post an update on what I've been doing, and will be doing, as far as artwork-selling events and venues are concerned...

Craft Fairs/Markets:

This summer was a great time selling my artwork at the Delmar Farmer's Market every Saturday!  I've met some great, talented and like-minded people, and am glad to be part of this market.  The Delmar Farmers Market is still going on, with local farm goods, artisan cheeses, baked goods, hand-crafts, artwork, and more!  Every Saturday morning through Christmas, 9am-1pm, in the Bethlehem Central Middle School Cafeteria.  A great place to get holiday items and support local business!  www.delmarmarket.org


This Sunday I will also be at the Congregation Beth Emeth Winter Shopping Land craft fair, 9am-3pm.  Should be good! www.bethemethalbany.org

Thanksgiving weekend I will be at Delmar on Saturday (11/24), but on Friday and Sunday (11/23 & 11/25), I will be at the Albany Institute of History and Art Holiday Gift Fair, which should be really fantastic.  This will be my first time participating in this event, and I have heard nothing but good things about it.  I highly recommend checking it out.  http://www.albanyinstitute.org/event/events/holiday-gift-fair.html

In December, I will begin a once-a-month winter craft market at the Albany Jewish Community Center, on Sunday, December 16th.  Again, this will be my first time for this event (it's actually theirs, too!), and I'm excited to discover what it's like.  http://www.saajcc.org/


The Cheese Traveler:

On an even more exciting note, my cards, prints, and other crafts can now be found in The Cheese Traveler shop at 540 Delaware Ave., next to All Good Bakers and Mingle.  The new cheese, meat and specialty food shop is certain to wow you!  The Cheese Traveler will be celebrating its Grand Opening with an event this Sunday, November 18th, from 1-6pm.  The event will feature tastings of culinary delights by guest chefs, readings and music by local artists, and catering by Mingle, All Good Bakers, Fin, Tilldale Farm, The Cheese Traveler, and the Chef's Consortium.  (You can check out The Cheese Traveler and the event on Facebook, too, and "Like" The Cheese Traveler while you're doing so!)  www.thecheesetraveler.com

I hope you can make it out for one of these events, or all of them!  Why not?

Delmar Farmers Market

I'm surprised I haven't posted about this before, but you can find me at the Delmar Farmers Market every Saturday, tomorrow through the end of October (with the exception of August 4th and September 15th).

Tomorrow I'll have three new sock monsters... one is a cat monster!  Come check it out, and buy some veggies, fruit, eggs, meat, and... local and artisan cheeses from Eric at The Cheese Traveler!

Delmar Farmer's Market -- Last Chance!

Tomorrow morning will be your last chance to check out what the Delmar Farmer's Market has to offer.  At Bethlehem Central Middle School, this market has many vendors, selling everything from veggies, cheese and meat, granola and baked goods, to soaps, creams, jewelry and art!  Although I would say that cheese, veggies, and baked goods aren't a very far leap from art. 

So come check it out tomorrow, Saturday 12/17 from 9am-1pm for some last-minute Holiday gifts.  You won't be sorry!

Delmar Farmers Market, Albany Fall Craft Beer Festival

This past Saturday I hocked my wares at the Delmar Farmers Market for the first time.  In the winter time it moves inside Bethlehem Middle School, and goes from 9am-1pm on Saturdays.  This coming weekend I'll be at the FUUSA Holiday Bazaar in Albany (see previous post), but then I'll be back to Delmar every Saturday through Dec. 17th, so definitely come check it out. 

I also teamed up to lend a hand to The Cheese Traveler on Saturday evening at the Albany Fall Craft Beer Festival at the Armory.  The Cheese Traveler is a premier purveyor of fine, hand-crafted local artisan cheeses, and they can also be found at the Delmar Farmers Market every Saturday.  They do cheese plates for parties, events, dinners and holidays, and they sell cheese on special order, too.  Email them at thecheesetraveler@earthlink.net and like them on Facebook!  (You can like me on Facebook, too.)
