I strive to go to as many arts and craft fairs as I can during the holidays, to scout emerging makers and crafters whose wares I’ve never seen before, and of course to buy handmade gifts for friends and family! Which means I’m especially looking forward to the 7th Annual BUST Magazine Craftacular next month in NYC. Taking place in the landmark SoHo neighborhood, this year’s event will run for two days for the first time ever. Over 200 craft and food vendors will be present each day, along with additional activities like snowglobe making, how-to tiny terrariums, and a book signing by BUST Magazine co-founders Laurie Henzel and Debbie Stoller. The first 300 people at the door each day will also get a goodie bag full of free schwag! Oh yeah, there will also be a Craft Beer Garden on site – see you there!
