This Easter weekend take your pastel dresses and polo shirts craft-fair shopping. Grab that perfect handmade card at Bloomington Handmade, a vintage plate at the Re-Flea or just enjoy the outdoor ambiance of early-spring outdoor events at the Gulfport Art Walk or Freret Market.
While we can't write about every craft fair and marketplace happening across the country we do like to highlight a handful of notable ones each week. If you'd like more people to know about your event, list it on the Craft Map and we'll gladly consider it for coverage. You can also email us at info@craftfoxes.com.
The East
April 6-7, 10 am- 5 pm
Hop into the Easter weekend with a 70 vendor craft spectacular. Need to shore up your house's foundation or redo your bedroom decor? Among the usual pottery, jewelry, soaps and quirky delights a few booths will be hawking home repair wares.
Roland E. Powell Convention Center, Ocean City, Maryland; Ocean Promotions; oceanpromotions@beachin.net; $4
April 7, 8 am - 4 pm
Need ideas to redo your home décor? First, watch "Stranger Than Fiction" and drool over Maggie Gyllenhaal's fictional, funky apartment. Then head to Frederick for the nearly monthly flea market with vintage inspiration in mind. You'll want some fun lamps to spice up your bedroom after watching that movie. It's contagious.

In addition to arts and crafts, try your hand at glassblowing at the Industrial Art Center, gaze at the stars through a state of the art telescope at the St. Pete Astronomy Club or enjoy the drum circle. Yes, you read that right, drum circle!
