    Crystal and I along with 2 of our friends has such a great time at this festival. There was a lot to choose from when it came to being in Olde Town Arvada from restaurants to food trucks and sales of all types of goods. There was even live music and plenty of sunshine. It is such a convenient location with having the lightrail so close by. And we had a great time walking around and seeing so many smiling faces. Thanks again!

    BEDASSLING with Talent: Within a few (5 crossings and park area) where Talented of the local fare reigned. First I was caught (With Aspen my Red Heeler) by a delightful Jewelry designer, with beautiful stones. Her talent was breath taking and very pleasant to speak with. We meandered through the extensive fair of talent. Sometimes a bit overwhelming with such talent. Many wish to talk and or show their crafts, some individuals waited to see if there was an interest. I met with another "Nature Artist" who crafter wall art from Nature, flowers, Aspen leaves and twigs, Herbs and a plethora of natures' beauty all delicately aheared to natural wood pieces she found in all areas. I stood in amazment, how she view the world as her place of Art. Met a delightful man who had Alpaca socks, head bands, scarves, shawls, if one does not know about Alpaca, there are many large Alpaca farms here in Colorado. These are delightful sweet long neck rather short (not a Llama) who's wool is shaved during the later year, and is the SOFTEST wool against one's skin. DELIGHTFUL and the gentleman and I spoke for a time and took his card. Wishing he had a larger shawl for the coming winter. The Arvada town is quaint, filled with delicious restaurants, bars, yoga studio, historical buildings, a place to visit all year long. Rather set back nature to relax, including the Jackalope ARTS And the ARTS is clearly an ARTISTIC Realm of Talent Lots of People with Children and Lots of Dogs!!!

    We had a lot of fun. There were a ton of vendors. I was surprised by how big this event was. It was located in Olde Town and we got lunch there as well because of the convenient location of if all! Everyone was so kind helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the scavenger hunt list and I'm using my pumpkin bucket for a plant right now! I am definitely looking forward to going next year! I made a little reel of the fun time we had on my instagram for anyone that wants to see extra footage of the event!

    I love local maker's markets, but this was my first visit to the Jackalope Arts Market and it was better then I expected! This particular market was held at the McNichols Civic Center, which was a wonderful venue in my opinion- warm on this chilly day, but cool for hot weather also. Just know to dress accordingly to visit the outside food trucks, and keep in mind that there are three floors of vendors, so don't miss out on those up top! I am not sure if all Jackalope Arts Fests are held at this location though. Another bonus- no entry fee, like some of these events charge! This fest had numerous high quality vendors, but was not as crowded as other art fests. Maybe because this one did not have music or beer, which I was totally fine with. You can really focus on the items for sale without being elbow to elbow with others. Like most of these events, there were all kinds of things to buy including natural cosmetics, apparel, jewelry, tasty treats, paintings and other art, etc. my friend got a super cool lamp made out of found industrial parts. If you're looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon and this fest happens to be around, I highly suggest a visit! You're sure to find an item you can't live without or a gift for a loved one!

    Make sure to check in on yelp and score a sweet tote to hold all your goodies!

    This art and craft fair is fabulous! The Exdo Event Center is such a great venue. Turns out I've been here previously for several concerts (Bayside and Alkaline Trio anyone?) The layout was great and there was an epic (no, seriously it was EPIC) selection of vendors running the gamut from home decor, crafts, apparel, and accessories, you name it and they had it! They even had several bars open for those who crave adult beverages while you browse. While I wish there had been more food truck options, what was there more than quenched appetite! Yes Little India I am looking at you. You are on my radar now and always. A must see for a casual artisan shopping environment!! Come back next year pa-pa-pa-please!

    Definitely the worst Michaels location I've ever been to. Firstly, I went to this store to pick up…read morea frame. When I got home I realized that the frame was cracked, chipped, and wasn't even in any original packaging (found this out once I went to a different location to return it). The inside sheet with the sizing was all crumpled up like it had been returned before. Then I needed to order a mat for the frame. This is probably the most irritating thing I've ever had to do. Whoever works in framing is so slow, only talked in questions, has no clue what she is doing, and talks rudely. I'm pretty dumfounded that someone like that can even work there. When I ordered the mat it was as if she had no clue how to do anything or even know what mats they had. "I think we have these, I think it's this price" etc. It took a whopping 30-45 minutes just for her to make this order and give me the receipt. Should have taken not even 5 minutes because I knew what I wanted. When I went to pick up the mat, she couldn't find it, proceeded to ask me "is this one the right one?", like how am I supposed to know. For her to just say "well I think this might be it so here you go". When opening the order herself, she asked me "Can't you help!" all snarky, backhanded, and rude. Like what do you mean, this is your job, and how do you think you can talk to a customer like that? Get home to find out it is either the incorrect order or made incorrectly. It's for a 24 x 36 inch frame and is literally cut larger than that. I repeatedly said it needed to be 24 x 36 inches, for it be cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch larger on each side. How hard is it to cut 2 feet by 3 feet? How hard is it to label an order with a name or even just an order number? I then had to call 5 times just to be connected to framing because they kept denying the transfers. At least they are remaking it, crossing my fingers I'll actually get what I ordered. Will definitely NEVER be going back to this location. I debated on not even trying to go there again for the remake and going to a different location, so we'll see how this continues. Extremely disappointed.

    I came across Knitters Therapy last week. I had never visited the store or had even heard of them…read more- but now, I tell everyone about this locally owned gem! I was looking for a store that carried gems and maybe some jewelry. I was surprised because this store came up under "arts & crafts" which I do neither. In any case, I stopped in and instantly knew I was going to spend way too much time there. Upon entering I immediately noticed there was so much more than yarn and art supplies. I beelined straight for all of the jewelry. I was greeted by the owner, Shawna and her vicious guard dog, Tiny, the chihuahua. I spent over an hour asking so many questions about stones and their meanings, it was fascinating. Shawna did not seem to mind at all! I noticed they also have a lot of literature on Reiki, something I have heard about but never really looked into, so maybe that will be next. Shawna told me they offer knitting workshops too, it's definitely a knitters/artist like community. OK, back to the jewelry. They have charms, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants both big and small. There is something for everyone. They have masculine pieces, feminine pieces and unisex pieces. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially the handmade pieces. They have pieces to fit anyone's budget. The handmade pendants are a work of art. They have very simple ones and very intricate ones. I purchased three items. The first is a small and simple blue, white, and black Jasper pendant, which I wear with a simple silver chain. The other two pieces I will treasure for a very long time. For myself I purchased a handmade pendant made of copper with moonstone and black tourmaline. I wore it out that night and received so many compliments on it, and people asked me so many questions about it! I purchased the other pendant for my friend who does not wear any jewelry but was blown away by the artistry and has always loved labradorite. He has not taken it off since I gave it to him! His pendant is also hand made with copper. What's interesting...these were the first two pieces I gravitated to - but still had to look at every piece in the store at least three times, but always came back to those pieces. Shawna told me about the different stone properties - and it just made too much sense why I gravitated to these pieces! Even if jewelry isn't your thing, or you aren't familiar with certain stones, knitting, or Reiki, I still recommend visiting this store. There is so much to look at, learn about, and admire. It is very accessible with plenty of free parking. I will definitely be back, perhaps after my next paycheck because I already made a list of what I want to purchase next! Thank you Knitters Therapy!! These pictures are of the handmade copper with labradorite pendant. I will be purchasing a matching chain soon, but for now, my friend doesn't seem to mind!
