Austin Handmade Market

Jul 22, 2009 · written by Amy · HandmadeVideo

Happy: Austin Handmade opened a storefront. Sad: Austin Handmade closed shop not long after, in late fall of ‘09. Consolation: they’ve upgraded their online store, so may the shopping live on! While the store was open, Austin Handmade hosted some groovy handmade markets in the parking lot, leaving shoppers (some toting video cameras:) ) with plenty of inspiration for gift ideas:

Most of the artists are members of Etsy Austin, which is a great way to keep up with all things stylish and crafty in Austin. I would also like to point out the soundtrack to this video is a song called “Glitter Bomb.” And that’s awesome. If you like this video, you can see more like it at amyhadley.com, where I post videos more often.
