Feelin' Crafty? Head to the Handmade Market

Handmade Market

You can do more than drink at The Empty Bottle on Saturday.

Think of all the money you could save on gifts if you were the artsy type. But let's face it, the only person who would want a handmade anything from you is your mom. (And, honestly, maybe not even her.)

Well, what you lack in artistic flair you make up for in shopping prowess.

The second Saturday of every month, The Empty Bottle hosts local crafters from around the city selling goods that they spent hours making. Choose from jewelry, clothing, stationary - you name it, someone sells it.

The free market starts at noon this Saturday, but since it's at a bar, you have to be 21 to attend. (Unless you're a child with a parent.)

Find one-of-a-kind gifts for you and yours. And hey, you could even fudge the truth and say you made them.

Who are we kidding? No one would believe you anyway.
