    This is great! Anyone know when those Crafty Bastards are taking applications for 2011? I’m checking all the time!

  • Theclovermarket

    Now accepting applications for the spring 2012 Clover Markets.  Clover is a very popular upscale vintage outdoor Market just outside Philly with a carefully curated selection of vendors with original art, finely handcrafted items, antiques, and vintage clothing & jewelry.  Details, photos, and a complete press list at http://www.theclovermarket.com. Applications will be accepted until 2/6 – if you’re interested, we strongly encourage you to apply by this deadline as space is limited and we were sold out last fall with a wait list.  Thanks!
