Good turnout. And, as usual, I liked most of the things they had. They have some other shows, including one in November. I would suggest anyone in the Detroit area to go. You will find something you like there, I'm sure of it.

One of the vendors was the Record Lady (Reware). I have her business card somewhere, but not handy. She makes all these things out of old LPs. Earings, binder/planners, etc. In the three or so years I have been going to the Hand Made show, we have gotten something from her each time.

There was a wood guy. Start the jokes. Nice guy. Really seemed to like what he was doing. He used local woods and every scrap he makes into something. Interesting stuff. He had wood binders, wooden rings, wood handled knives, leather items. In smart alec (who is alec anyways?) fashion, I picked up a ring and said, "I've heard of trees having rings before...". He said he never heard that one. I am sure he was being kind.

There was a nice set of jewelery and at least one t-shirt that made me laugh. It read, "Kill the hippies and steal all their weed."

All in all, if you are looking for that one of a kind item or just looking for some really cool stuff or you really want to support the local scene, you can do it all at the Hand Made in Detroit show. Check out their website (above) to find out where other shows are held and to find some (or all) of the vendors that were there today.
