Re-Use Market

In September, Aimee (Beach Chicken) and I went to the Re-Use Market in Nampa. When we got there, there was a guy with a big camera taking footage. I didn't think too much of it until Aimee told me that it had made it on to the news. Click here to see the clip that was shown on KIVI Channel 6. If you look closely, you will also catch a glimpse of Aimee and my daughter perusing through some stuff.

The Re-Use Market is located in the back of the White Pine Boutique at 115 13th Ave S in downtown Nampa. The market is open only a few hours each month and there are all kinds of fabric swatches, ceramic tiles and paper goods to be re-invented into new items. Check out their website to find out more. (Scroll down to see a picture of Millie digging for treasures.) And don't forget to browse around the boutique too. Several IIW team members have items for sale there. Look for items from Aimee (Beach Chicken), Trish (Bella Grano) and Mary (Mary Makes Art).

Hyde Park Fair 2009

This past weekend was Hyde Park's 30th annual fair. Idaho Indie Works set up a giant booth this year featuring many talented artists. It was three days of busy selling and hanging out together. It was a lot of fun.

We couldn't have pulled this off if it wasn't for everyone working together. There was a real team spirit this weekend. I think we have the best Etsy Street team out there.
