Crafted

Correction: Crafted Fair at the Port of LA hosted an Etsy party. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you to Crafted for hosting such a wonderful party and for giving us bloggers a chance to experience the fun! Thanks too for the wonderful swag! Thank you readers for supporting the companies that Headbands & Bagels works with. All opinions are my own.

Last Friday, Leeann of Join the Gossip and I attended the Crafted Fair at the Port of LA. Crafted is a permanent space at the San Pedro port where local crafters have booths set up. There is food stuffs, jewelry, and more available. The space is a World War II era hangar that was converted and zoned by the city of San Pedro to arts related businesses.

On Friday, Crafted hosted an event for Etsy where you could create crafts for $5 or less and peruse the local artisans pieces. The location is open every Friday-Sunday and is a great place to get immensely thoughtful gifts.

I was able to pick up a vintage 1923 Ball jar converted into a soap dispenser for the kitchen from Upcycled Mason Designs, a beautiful votive/vase, and some amazing handmade candles from Artisan Candles. We also got some amazing samples of gluten free cookies, pear jam, and more.

It was a great night!

Leann and I were also able to participate in a  few free crafts which included make your own wine glass markers and bottle cap earrings.

Crafted put on an amazing party complete with an adorable VIP area where we could nosh and some awesome food trucks. Later this year a brewery will be opening up in the converted hangar across the way. There will also be cooking classes, brewery tours and a restaurant available.

You should definitely head down to San Pedro one of these weekends for a craftastic time!
