Don't Miss the Craft & Vintage 1 Year Anniversary Market! Saturday, August 20 @ 10:00 a.m.

Last year, on the third Saturday in August, I hosted my first C&V Market. Going into it, I wasn't completely sure what I was getting into or how much work was truly entailed. What I did know was, Berwyn didn't have one and the community was home to some of the best artists & makers. Fast forward a year later and the market is still a monthly happening.

I want to extend a huge thank you to Friendly and Rob Pierce for allowing the C&V to be housed in such creatively energized place. And to Lindsey Susanne Bach, for being my Friendly go-to and C&V Barista. To the C&V vendors, thank you for your professionalism and for trusting me to showcase your work. Last but far from least, to all of you that support the market, your makers community, the arts and buying locally.


The pop-up shops for August 20th are as follows:

*The Chunky Scones
~freshly made VEGAN scones, churros, donuts and pizza rolls will be available. CS bakes with high-quaility ingrediants while keeping compassion in mind. 

*Rebecca Primm Ceramics
~Finding inspiration in the world surrounding, each of Primm's creations is a process of layering, experimentation & intuition. The fragile yet functional qualities of clay provide a canvas that pair the utilitarian with delicate surface decoration. Drawn to the vivid color and organic elements of the botanical world, delicate forms & bright colors contrast against the buildings of city living. Each clay vessel is a small garden in the repetitive structure of daily life.
