We also want to take a moment to thank Cat Banjo for being one of our long-time supporter and sponsor. Beyond sponsoring Redress Raleigh's efforts, Cat Banjo features local designers in the shop as well as helping rescue dogs find new, loving families to adopt them! 

Recap: The Handmade Market

This past Saturday, Redress Raleigh visited good friends and new faces at the annual Handmade Market which took place at Cobblestone Hall. The market featured more than 50 artists, crafters, and designers who showed off their hand-crafted goodies. Among the artists, we spotted some Redress Raleigh friends, Judah Ross, Leopold Designs, ZassDesign, and Haden Designs. Check out the rest of the amazing artists that were featured at the market, here. 

The market also featured homemade treats and coffee from Sweet T and Slingshot Coffee -- the combination of the two was pefectly delicious! 

As always, while the admission to The Handmade Market was free, attendees had the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets and raise money for the Urban Ministries of Wake County. 

We had a great time meeting lots of new artists in the area and getting some of our Holiday shopping out of the way while supporting our local community! Make sure to keep The Handmade Market in mind for next year!
