Tara of Velvet Otterhound wrote a swell post about it:
The Real Mercantile- A gathering of hand made artists Aug 8
Hand made artists often spend time finding the right shows and fairs to bring their goods to. It can be a daunting task.
All it really takes, though, is one person to say, “Hey, lets have a gathering of artists.” … and few others to say, “OK!”
We have seen this recently with the SF Etsy Sampler and I coordinated a St. Valentine’s Sweetie Pie festival and art show with some of my friends. I have even been known to call up my local tea shop and host a Saturday morning trunk show.
Nieves Rathbun, who owns By Nieves Handmade Natural Body Care, has created a similar event. She has gathered over 25 artists at Chez Poulet in SF for The Real Mercantile event this Sunday, August 8, from 1-7pm 3359 Cesar Chavez at Mission.

BeeHive Market....Many Saturdays

We've started setting up the old sales trunk at a new super cute market in Berkeley called Beehive Market......It's really sweet. Super yummy foods, neat crafts and there's always live music at noon.
It goes from 10 to 2 every Saturday, it's just a couple blocks north of University on San Pablo.
We're gonna try to be there every week unless we have another event.
