If you’re in the Portland metro area (or beyond), you *may* want to come to the Spring Has Sprung Artisan Market on May 11th! (get it? “May”? lol)
While there are many excellent reasons to attend this lively and fun event, here are my top three in support of our community!
The First Reason: Donate!
One of the reasons that I chose to be part of this FREE event is that it’s a fundraiser.
We are partnering with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) for a special cause. We will be hosting a hygiene kit fundraiser to support individuals facing houselessness and mental health challenges.
Here’s a list of items that you can bring and donate to our fundraising efforts:
The Second Reason: Emotional Support Pickles!
Having a booth at an event like this is an excuse for me to meet people in my community. This is why I LOVE to have booths at fairs around Portland. Frankly, selling items is an excuse to be there,so I try to have items that are helpful and fun.
While I typically sell my book, Caskets From Costco, at events like this, I wanted to also include some other items. I have mental health stickers! (who doesn’t love a good sticker? I have many cups decorated with favorites. This won’t be stopping anytime soon.)
AND I am super excited to be selling Emotional Support Pickles! Take a look ~
I haven’t settled on prices for everything yet, but I cannot imagine that anything at my booth will be more than $10. Plus, I figured out how to take payments by people tapping their cards ON MY PHONE. That’s super convenient.
The Third Reason: Gifts!
And another reason I love to have a booth at events like this is to support small businesses in my community. This is a FABULOUS opportunity to financially support our local artisans and purchase some stuff for you or as gifts for others!
And let’s not forget, this event is on May 11th, THE DAY BEFORE MOTHER’S DAY. Fortunately, there will be over 70 vendors with gifts just in time for Mother’s Day, which is on May 12th!
