Join me and lots of other incrediable vendors at the Valley Junction Vintage, Thrifted, & Handmade Fair on Sunday, September 7th, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the historic Valley Junction neighborhood of West Des Moines for a day full of treasure hunting, unique handmade goods, and community spirit!
This vibrant market features around 75 vendors, plus the many unique shops, restaurants, and small businesses that line the streets of Valley Junction. Once you have checked out all of the vendors you can keep exploring the many other small businesses that line the streets! There are thrift stores, a cat café, pottery painting studio, candle-making shop, and so much more as you wander this charming, historic area.
It’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday, and I’d love for you to stop by my booth while you’re exploring to say hi and check out my art!
