We're a small group who are a part of the much larger Etsy CREST team. What is Etsy and what is Crest? Etsy is a retail website offering an opportunity for artisans and handcrafters to connect with conscientious shoppers seeking unique, personal handmade items.<br />CREST is the Capital Region Etsy Street Team - a collection of artists and artisans from Washington, D.C., Maryland, and the Virginias.<br />Our next big event where the CRESTcraft mini-team will be together will be April 12-13, at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, just North of Baltimore. We will individually be appearing at a variety of shows throughout the spring and summer - you'll find announcements and updates throughout our individual posts.<br />Our individual sites are listed to the left, so settle in and enjoy a few moments click-through of our shops and wares.tarabuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08271012102138956776noreply@blogger.com0
