our super-awesome vendors are getting super-awesome awards!

We’re working with Cincinnati Magazine to award four outstanding vendors for awesomeness at our big indie craft show on Saturday, Nov. 29. (They highlighted five great vendors to look for already!) Tamia Stinson, a stylist and blogger for Cincinnati Magazine, will be evaluating our holiday show vendors to select winners for these categories:

Best Display: Who’s got the most awesome booth?
Best Products: Who’s got the most remarkable products for sale at the show?
Best Newbie: Which of the 30 new vendors at our show is the raddest?
and then the audience will vote for the People’s Choice!

You’ll be able to identify the winners by the amazing prize ribbons created by Abby Langdon! You can cast your vote for People’s Choice by filling out a ballot at the Cincinnati Magazine booth before 4 p.m. on Saturday. We’ll announce the People’s Choice winner before the end of the show, and you just might see all the winners on CincinnatiMagazine.com very soon.

Remember to RSVP for Crafty Supermarket on Facebook and invite all your friends, and we’ll see you on Saturday!

great eats at our big show

Buying handmade can really give you an appetite! Lucky for you, we’ve got a bunch of great food vendors who will be at our craft show on Nov. 29 at the Music Hall Ballroom.

In addition to the food trucks outside and food vendors inside, we’ll have a cash bar so you can grab a soda or a mimosa while you shop!

Inside food vendors:

Baking You Happy: Cupcakes baked like a boss.
Dojo Gelato: Doesn’t matter if it’s cold outside: Every season is gelato season.
La Terza Coffee: Our man Chuck brews a great cup of coffee.
Plus two food-as-craft vendors who will be selling packaged goodies for you to give (or eat, we won’t judge): sweet little desserts by Brown Bear Bakery and fine chocolate gifts by Chocolats Latour

Outside food vendors:

C’est Cheese: Just what you need on a cold winter’s day: gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and hot soup!
Fireside Pizza Wagon and Melt Eclectic Cafe: The brick oven pizza should not be missed.
Red Sesame Korean BBQ: These sweet, sour and spicy dishes will give your tastebuds a kick in the mouth!
Waffo: Waffles, waffles, waffles! Sweet, savory — everything is good.
