Trade Olympia

I love the idea of trading with other vendors at craft shows but always feel a little sheepish bringing it up. At the last Craft x NW I was left wishing there was a discreet way to know who'd be willing to trade. After talking to Shanty Slater of Olympia's very own outdoor craft market; Make Olympia  (formerly Craft x NW) I've created a standardized trading symbol for the vendors! Vendors will display this small sign to signal to other vendors that trades are welcome.

I scanned my 1933 New Century Dictionaries entry for "Trade" and used Pixlr.com to add the "hobo code" symbol for trade/barter. I am terrible at digital imaging so I fumbled through formatting to get it to the right size. It will be a small 2"x3.5" tent style sign. I am pretty excited about it.

I won't be selling at the upcoming July market but hope to benefit from the little sign later in the year.

Make Olympia outdoor market  is the third Saturday of the month all summer long. Go out and support local crafters this weekend, July 16, 2011 and look for my little sign.
