FUTURE THINGS ARE COMING >>>
The equation is simple. Tacoma is for Lovers is a community group dedicated to presenting artists craft fairs to promote and appreciate our awesome local artists. King's Books is an awesome local bookstore that loves to host local arts events. Together, they will combine their artsy prowess to produce the Tacoma is for Lovers Craft Fair this weekend. The fair will feature arts and crafts spanning from jewelry to letterpress prints and beyond.
"I love and rely on the Tacoma is for Lovers Artist Craft Fair - not only does it jumpstart my holiday shopping and help me discover all sorts of amazing locally crafted goods, but I have also made friends and found new artists who are doing incredible work in Tacoma," says co-founder Katy Evans, who also coordinates the Tacoma Cash Mob.
Speaking of the Cash Mob, King's Books' website has a cash mob on its events calendar ... meeting nearby ... Nov. 17 ... at 1 p.m. Curious.
"There MAY be something different this year and it MAY be related to the Tacoma Cash Mob occurring at 1 p.m.," says Evans. "The cash mob is meeting across the street in the Rainier Room in the Landmark Convention Center. That's some suspicious proximity!"
In addition to an entirely theoretical cash mob that you could theoretically join, the Tacoma is for Lovers Artist Craft Fair welcomes new artists such as Chick Knigge, Tracie Bonjour and Little Green Cards. Fingerprint Confections will also be at the fair. Fingerprint Confections created the original Caramel Loves handmade caramels, and now offers bacon, lavender, coconut, sea salt and gingerbread caramels.
KING'S BOOKS, SATURDAY, NOV. 17-SUNDAY, NOV. 18, 11 A.M. TO 4 P.M., 218 SAINT HELENS AVE., TACOMA, 253.272.8801
