It's that time of month and the C&V is thrilled to announce the line up of the September 16th Market! In honor of the kiddos being back at school, the C&V has curated a market with an extra sprinkle of kid geared vendors in mind. Seize an almost Fall Berwyn day and walk on over to Friendly Coffee Lounge for some coffee, treats and shopping. The monthly Craft & Vintage Market at Friendly Coffee Lounge is a way to showcase, support and share that creativity with our fantastic neighborhood. We cannot wait to see you all again and hope that you will share this, always free & family friendly event with others.
The pop-up shops for September 16th are as follows:

*Monstrochika

Mediums include traditional illustration, painting, D.I.Y. comics and zines, doll-making and spray-painted mural work.
*Ang Mir
~Mixed media wearables, photos & collectables. Mir's work is inspired by her cultura Mexicana, Frida Kahlo & Dia De Los Muertos. Mir Designs offers a wide variety of thoughtfully made jewelry and other handprinted goods.
*Baubles & Whatnots
~Modern hats & accessories for the vintage-minded. All of my work is handmade, hand-blocked, hand-sewn and each piece is one-of-a-kind. I make each hat by letting the fabric dictate what it wants to be, sculpting and draping each one by hand on the block, then stitching details into place. I also incorporate vintage findings such as silk flowers, Victorian buttons and WWII era milliners ribbons into my work to keep a true sense of the era when hats were king.
*Made By Kristen
~Former Brooklyn slouchy-hat queen is now a Chicago gal and lucky for the C&V shoppers. Made by Kristen lovingly makes knitted and crocheted items for your head and home! Both get cold in the Midwest winter but have no fear, MBK has cozy items for both.

*Jessy Laubis Handmade
