Our local Whole Foods store holds a craft market each Wednesday from 11 am – 3pm, and they’ve been doing it so far for about a year. Who knew? I visited for the first time — and it won’t be the last.
There were about 12 vendors there yesterday, including an old friend, Carole Yu,
who takes antique kimonos and uses the fabric to make these fantastic bags.
Check out her website: Bao.
Plus I met Marie Lewis, who makes these delicious kids’ clothes.
Her website is Whimsy Ranch and let me tell you, if this Mar Vista Mom had girl children, they would be wearing tutus right now!
The craft market is such a fun idea, so cool that Whole Foods is doing it — weekly, no less — and even on the extra 2nd or 3rd Thursdays and 2nd Saturdays. (Please check the website for details — I don’t want to be held responsible for wrong dates.)
But what’s even cooler is that from now until the end of March, they are donating 10% of the proceeds from the craft market to the Whole Planet Foundation.
