No Coast craft fest

One of the Twin Cities area's biggest craft sales of the year, No Coast Craft-O-Rama is like shopping Etsy in person. A DIY spirit abounds, as evidenced by the proliferation of silkscreened, letter-pressed, hand-printed, woodcut, knit and sewn goods. In its sixth year, the sprawling sale features handmade goods from more than 100 vendors, including popular Twin Cities poster artists Adam Turman, Amy Jo, Aesthetic Apparatus and Burlesque of North America.

Finch's Holiday Boutique

This perennial favorite comes but one weekend a year. The sale is packed with handmade goods from more than 50 local artists and designers, including vintage textile pillows from Hammers & High Heels; delicate wildlife-inspired jewelry by Carrier Pigeon; braided circle scarves from Marissa Bridges; bracelets wrapped in tie-dyed silk, colorful thread and liberty printed fabrics by Dominique Mueller; wine-bottle lamps by Anna Zahler; Minnesota-themed screened tees by Too Many Suitors, and much, much more.
