We did several shows together and 2 years ago we even opened up a shop together! We called it Show Me Handmade and there were 9 of us. We closed after a year, and moved into a much busier mall. We now have about 20 artists and we all run the shop together. Our shop name is Fusion and we are located at Chesterfield Mall. <br />http://www.fusionbysmh.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924255951118808958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717713545589641962.post-25111515336091257462010-10-06T14:54:06.158-04:002010-10-06T14:54:06.158-04:00Great tips Hollie!

I sell in several indie boutiques in PA and am also the leader of the Handmade in PA team, so this is all very valuable info.

The team produced its own craft show in May, which HandmadeMN teammate JulieMeyer blogged about for the Storque (http://www.etsy.com/storque/how-to/how-to-organize-a-craft-show-with-handmademn-9119/). It was hugely successful, and I've volunteered to help organize our next one. I have been amazed by how wonderful it feels to meet my local teammates in person, and to get out into my community and see what this place is all about (I've only been in Minnesota for about a year now, and most of that I spent on the computer!). It has definitely gotten my creative juices flowing, and I've learned a ton from talking to teammates, local media, and press in person. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm with ya, Hollie.
