Journeyman Distillery Autumn Artisan Market

This past weekend we attended the Autumn Artisan Market at the Journeyman Distillery up in Three Oaks, Michigan. Greeted with the most beautiful first snowfall of the year, we were delighted with the holiday spirit it brought along. The fair took place in the Distillery's newly and beautifully renovated Warren Hall, flooded with natural light from the event space's huge windows. We enjoyed meeting new people, readers, contributors and other vendors as well as seeing a few familiar faces (hi Katie Levinson and Arsenal Handicraft!). 

Journeyman had a team of the best hosts for their 75+ vendors -- not to mention the most delicious hot spiked cider and homemade soft pretzels from their restaurant that opened back in September. Staymaker, named so for their location in the historic Featherbone Factory, is a full-service restaurant that makes use of local, seasonal ingredients whenever possible. We hope to be back very soon!

Renegade Recap

We had the absolute best time at Renegade this past weekend! It was such a beautiful two days spent in Wicker Park along Division Street between Damen and Paulina. We met so many amazing folks who are just as passionate about the Midwest as we are. We also got to see (and finally meet in person!) a few of our favorite vendors like Paul from 419 Trading Co., Melissa from Douglas & Co. Detroit, and Araya from Wind & Willow Home. If you haven't already had the pleasure of meeting these incredibly talented individuals and familiarizing yourself with their inspiring companies, please please do so now! We promise that you will not regret it.

We could not have asked for better weather (it was gorgeous and sunny the entire time!), better company (we shared a booth with the incredibly talented Katie Levinson), or a better time. With over 350 vendors, this outdoor and free-to-attend fair will always remain on our list of must-dos.  And, for anyone who might have missed us at the fair, we are offering FREE SHIPPING until September 30th, on any online magazine orders. It's a great chance to get your missing Issue 2 or 3. Check out our online shop to order!

Switchyard + Renegade

Last weekend the Driftless team was in Bloomington, Indiana for the Switchyard Art Market. We enjoyed telling people about the Driftless community, selling magazines and prints, and soaking up the summer sun. Our next stop is the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago, Illinois on September 19-20. You will find us on Division Street in Wicker Park and we hope to see you there!
