And, I admit, this is one of my favorites. The Patchwork Show Modern Handmade Festival makes a stop in Long Beach this Sunday, May 25th! Now in their seventh year, they’ll host more than 100 local vendors, with some unique and beautiful creations. They also have live music, and this will be both pet-friendly and bike-friendly, with a bike valet and their location right at the water’s edge. And while you’re there, you might like to congratulate Patchwork founder and “Dear Handmade Life” creator Nicole Stevenson on her just-published first DIY, craft, food and creative-business magazine!
The Patchwork Show Modern Handmade Festival runs from 11 am to 5 pm, Sunday, May 25, at 5255 Paoli Way, near Bayshore and Appian Way in Long Beach. Admission is free.
