One our our lovely members Amy is hosting her very own market this October, The Horseshoe Craft & Flea Market and is offering a great booth discount for DHA members. The Horseshoe Craft & Flea Market is a place where emerging, undiscovered and experienced artists, designers, crafters, and vintage collectors can set up their own little shop, showcase their talents and meet their customers. It’s a rare and wonderful shopping destination where customers can interact with and buy directly from their source. You’re sure to stumble upon some pretty awesome, lucky finds!

The first market is schedules for Saturday October 2nd at 46th & Tennyson. For more information about the market or to become a vendor visit: http://www.horseshoecraftandflea.com/

If you are hosting a market and would like to let us know about it email Becky at becky@denverhandmade.org
