The Blossom Boutique sells wildflower-themed arts and crafts and they are looking for local arts/crafts items that are unique to Crested Butte and the area, are packable for return trips home via car/airplane, not terribly fragile/breakable, and are reasonably priced ($10-$80). If your work sounds like it might match up with these needs, Sue would love to talk with you and see your work! Depending on the items, we'll look at purchasing your pieces outright, or doing consignment. We have 1,500-1,800 folks attending the Festival. I know lots of them visit the galleries where your work may be, and lots of them buy things from the Boutique, so it's a great opportunity to expand your market! Let's talk-I look forward to it. You can reach me at the number below. I'm usually in M,T, Th, 9-12. Many thanks, and happy spring!
