Upcoming Show – Sort Of
I am blessed to live in a funky, artsy town. An annual event here is called the Artist’s Garage Sale. This is not your everyday art show! It is an opportunity for area artists to destash unwanted art supplies and sell their less expensive artwork. It’s a great event for people to pick up affordable art,jewelry, beads, art print cards, paints, canvases, fabric, yarn etc. I will have a booth at the Artist’s Garage sale this Saturday. I will be selling my jewelry, plus I’m destashing tons of beads at below cost.
The Facebook event page describes it this way:
Need art supplies? Searching for a great gift for yourself or a friend? Check out the artistic wares and whatnots of over 70 area artists! The Artists’ Garage Sale is a unique event that gives Olympia’s artists and art lovers the opportunity to meet, shop, and connect.
The event is just $1. All proceeds benefit POSSCA’s mission to support the arts, including the Cultural Assistance Program for Students (CAPS) program which provides musical instruments to students who otherwise couldn’t participate in school music programs and annual arts scholarships for high school seniors pursuing a college arts education.
Olympia Armory, 515 Eastside St SE, Olympia WA 98501
If you live in the Olympia area, I hope you’ll stop by, say “Hi” and support a good cause!
I am always delighted to read your comments! Hope to hear from you.

Now I am sad. I am hosting a potluck over at my house this Saturday and my hubby would shoot me if I ducked out of the cleaning to go buy beads
Can you get a head start on the cleaning and just duck out for an hour? A housecleaning break is re-energizing!
Sounds like it is going to be a wonderful event. Sorry I live in AZ and would not be able to attend. If I were close this would be great. I wish you great success at the event. 🙂 ArtFire Bloggers Guild
Thank you for visiting my blog, Jennifer! I’m looking forward to Saturday, but right now I’m in the throes of pricing all the beads I’ll be offering.
You Washingtonians are very artistic 😉 I used to visit Orcas Island in the Summer. Very inspirational for artists. My sister and her family live on the Olympic Peninsula in Port Townsend. It is all very picturesque. Sounds like a rousing show coming up. Happy sales!
Anna- Orcas is so lovely and Port Townsend is my favorite town in the whole state! Thank you for visiting my blog!
If I lived closer, I’d be there! I can imagine what great fun it is to search out treasures from all of the de-stashing. Good luck and I hope your event is a huge success!
Too bad I live way to far away! I hope the garage sale does well.
Thank you, Christie!
What a fun type of event – wish was had something similar around me!
Yah, its a pretty awesome idea!
Wish ther was something similiar near me.
Yes, its too bad more communities don’t do this.
Hi Linda,
I go to the garage sale every year and I have probably stopped by your booth before. But I will definately stop by and say HI! this time and check out those destash beads. Not like I need any more 🙂 But it’s always fun to look. Good luck and see you Saturday!
Wish I lived in Washington! Sounds like a great event with a wonderful purpose too.
That sounds like a great event. If I lived near you I would be attending!
Thanks! You’d probably be destashing too, if you lived here! I can’t believe how much junk…uh, craft supplies I have!!! 😉
I wish I live where you live. I would be sure to come down and buy tons of stuff. I know I need to destash but I seem to collecting more than destashing them. Lol.

What a great idea…I’d be shopping for sure if I lived anywhere near you!!
