How to Spot a Yeti in Easthampton

First order of business in Yeti spotting is where to find one? You are in luck because I know of one right in the heart of the Pioneer Valley – the new holiday art pop-up Yeti Market. While I can’t guarantee an actual Yeti – I did see a gold dusted Boba Fett topped with a Barbie head and frankly, who can tell the difference?

Thanks to Rob Kimmel, the brainchild…er mad genius behind it, I am exited to be part of this 2 day event featuring handmade goods from offbeat makers with unique vision and amazing skills. Where else can you find gothic cross-stitch next to fine woodworking, unique stuffed monster toys next to beautiful jewelry? Whether you are celebrating the Equinox, Christmas, Chanukkah, or Kwanzaa, you will find the perfect “must have gift”.

This special pop-up will be open on November 14th, which is the same day as the upcoming Art Walk, the monthly celebration of galleries and artists in Easthampton and also on December 5th. Hours both days are 12-8pm and I hope to see you there for one of them!
