Market Day on Saturday!
Hey all!
It’s that magical time again. That’s right. MARKET DAY!
If y’all don’t know what Market Day is by now, you should probably get out from under that rock you’ve been hiding under.
Market Day is a casual monthly market for art, vintage, found items, homemade and handmade goods. Artists are encouraged to look beyond what they traditionally retail and bring a fun and inexpensive mix of items. Think arts festival meets bohemian garage sale. It is always free-to-attend. Six of the seven dates overlap with the nearby Des Moines Downtown Farmers’ Market. It’s is a seasonal event and runs the last Saturday of every month, May through October. We also have a special Black Friday sale the day after Thanksgiving. Market Day is brought to you by make/break.
So basically, lots of cool people peddling pretty things.
It’s from 9 AM–2 PM this Saturday in a warehouse off of MLK. Here’s a map.
I’m going to be selling a lot of things and offering all of my pieces from 2009 at an INSANELY low price. I’m having a trunk sale. Everything in the trunk must go. I’m also moving this week, so anything I don’t have to move, I’d be glad to offer at a fabulously low price.
In the meantime, enjoy this video of Cat Rocketship, one of the make/break peeps, chatting with me about Market Day. For up-to-date info about Market Day, follow them on twitter.
For a preview of what I’m selling, check my etsy or my flickr. I sell things on etsy at a higher price than what I sell at Market Day, so for better deals and steals, hit up Market Day next Saturday!

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
