INDIEana Handicraft Exchange summer show vendors have been selected

Hello, hello.

I wanted to let you all know that the complete list of vendors is up on the IHE Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54393736995&ref=mf), as well as links to vendor sites on the MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/indy_bitchcraft). Images of vendor work will follow soon on the MySpace page and names, logos, and links will hopefully be on the www.INDIEanaHandicraftExchange.com site by next weekend.

Check 'em all out and map out your shopping strategy for the big event in June. Believe me, there will be a number of items you won't want to leave without. We have over 70 makers of fabulous, funky, hip and modern handmade goods.

The INDIEana Handicraft Exchange is a D.I.Y. contemporary craft fair that showcases the work of artists and crafters who use traditional crafting techniques mixed with a contemporary edge. Our vendors offer a range of unique handmade goods from wooden jewelry to fanciful undergarments, from custom vintage-inspired western wear to stationery, from plush animals to natural bath and body goodies, from hand-screened rock ‘n’ roll poster art to pop culture icon finger puppets and much, much more. The IHE is the first and only of its kind in Indianapolis and is currently held biannually.
