Went to a “Craft & Flea” fair in Portsmouth earlier today.
It was really nice! Properly-curated, real local makers and sellers! I’ve found a lot of craft fairs (for example, Christmas markets and the like now, that want to feel “authentic”) do have a lot of drop shipped or bulk imported faux handmade stuff. This was a nice size, with really good makers who were very engaging around their products and brands and art.
Will be watching out for more of these. https://www.thecraftandflea.com/
