EmmieBean recently had the pleasure of participating in the first-ever Venice Meet, a monthly craft fair held on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice, CA. The fair was super fun and really well-curated, with lots of awesome craftspeople, food artisans, and live music. One of my fav vendors was Ice-Ice Shavie, a mixology-inspired approach to crazy-delicious shaved-ice treats… I'm ashamed (and not so ashamed) to say I ate 3 that day- one tasted link a Mint Julep, another was lemon, blackberry, and thyme, and the third- elderflower and lemonade. Um, yes, they were bomb. Must recreate at home sometime.
EmmieBean did SO well, I was so proud :) The hubs helped run the EB booth with me, and we sold vouchers for custom illustrations that worked like this: the customer purchased a cute voucher for an illustration, we told them to email me the photo at their convenience (some were buying in advance for Christmas cards- I wish I could be that ahead of the curve!), and we let them know I'd mail them the print about a week after they sent me their photo. Super simple concept. We had a steady stream of people all day, which was rad. Go little EmmieBean booth!
Excited for the next craft fairs! EmmieBean will for sure be at the next Venice Meets in May, June, and July- so stay tuned for deets!
