Hello from LVHA!

Hello! Just a quick introduction before we get down to business!

Lehigh Valley Handmade Alliance was started by Jaime of Crinoline and Danielle of Buttercup Jewelry to function as a community that will support handmade small businesses in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas.

Starting in the coming weeks, we hope to:

-Share info about events, retail opportunities, shows, classes, and crafty happenings in the Lehigh Valley area and beyond on this blog and our Facebook. We hope that you will share info you come across about local events in the comments here, on Facebook, or at our email address LVHandmadeAlliance@gmail.com.

-Provide opportunities to network with other artists and independent crafty business owners through in-person meetups and selling events. Details about our first LVHA-planned events to come soon!
 
-Discuss the joys and challenges of running a small handmade business. Please feel free to use the blog comments and our Facebook page as a place to connect with other local handmakers and crafty business owners!

-Promote buying handmade and shopping locally! We hope to cross promote the events we are participating in and local retail venues that support handmade to raise the awareness of our community in the Lehigh Valley area.

Crafters, handmakers, and artists in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas are welcome to post and participate! Welcome, thanks for reading, and feel free to spread the word!
