Alex McCarty, of Blossom Boutique, and I have teamed up to organize the first craft fair of its kind in Pennsylvania’s Dutch country. Crafty by Nature is a monthly indie craft market at the famous Shupp’s Grove in Adamstown, PA.

Crafty by Nature will take place the first Sunday of every month, beginning on May 3 and ending in October. Vendors are currently being accepted. The booth fee is $35 and includes a large exhibition space & two tables but for readers of Try Handmade, we’re extending a $10 discount off your first month’s registration!

Shupp’s Grove is an outdoor antiques and collectibles market, founded in 1962, and has become a favorite stop for antiques dealers and sellers alike, nationwide. Located in a peaceful wooded setting in PA Dutch country, the grove provides an ideal setting for browsing crafts, art, and other handmade goodies.

Some vendors you’ll be able meet this summer include RuJu, Contempo Jewels, girls can tell, Vintage Jane, Metals and Thread, and Rosie’s Whimsy.
