November 2014 First Friday Art Walk Weekend

Welcome to the November First Friday Art Walk Weekend post for our Delaware Etsy Street Team.

Every month, members of our team have the opportunity to show off seasonally related, new work, or whatever they feel like, by adding up to 4 items to our November 2014 "Event Thread".

This online blog hop and link hop event is hosted by the Art Walk Etsy Team (AWETeam), and we link up our thread to theirs in the hopes of showing off some of our great Delaware shops!

September 2014 First Friday Art Walk Weekend

Fall is just around the corner here in Delaware, school has started up, and the beaches are resuming their off season slower pace of life. To many this is a favorite time of the year, not only for the weather, but for the abundance of arts and crafts shows that start to happen every weekend.

This weekend is the Brandywine Arts Festival! 

We have some of our Delaware Etsy Team members selling work there, so make sure to swing by and check out their goods in person.
