We are honored to find out that No Coast Craft-o-Rama has been voted City Pages "Best Craft Show"! Read all about it online here: ARTICLE

For those of you that don't know the City Pages, every year all Twin Cities folks can vote on their favorite things about the city and it is all put together in a special edition of the paper called "Best of Twin Cities".

Thank you to City Pages and thank you to all who voted!!

Etsy.com in the Star Tribune

Many of our No Coast Craft-o-rama sellers also sell their wares on Etsy.com. There was an article in the Star Tribune about the site yesterday:

I thought this quote was interesting: "Stinchcomb said Etsy's mission is helping people make a living by making creative things. So it not only provides the means for sales, but it also educates its vendors on such issues as health insurance."

The Crafters Local 612 has a similar mission, but on a local scale. Now the key is figuring out how to execute it!
