Sunshine, warmth and fireflies are coming!

So happy to share with our wonderful Firefly Handmade friends & fans, that our first ever Summer Market is going to spread its wings at the former Sutherland's Lumber Yard, 3390 Valmont, Boulder, CO. You all know the place (hopefully you've been there with us before) and now you know the time too! So save the date: Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30, 10am-5pm and invite all your friends along!

Hard to believe with snow still on the ground that we'll soon be celebrating sunny warm days in Firefly style! We look forward to shining bright with everyone very soon!

Applications are open through April 29!

Creative Community: The Makerie

Congratulations to our friend, Ali DeJohn, and the wonderful success of the first weekend of The Makerie. The second weekend focusing on sewing is about to begin. We are so happy to see our creative community growing so much here in Colorado! Check out The Makerie's Summer Series happening at the Lyons Farmette in the coming months.

Drumroll Please......

We have an exciting announcement for our FF friends and fans:

As of April 8th, we have passed the torch to a brand new flygal Beth Pomerantz. An artist herself, and recent transplant to Boulder, Beth became an instant fan of Firefly Handmade when she attended the Gypsy Handmade Market last September. She has just the right spark of creativity, energy and enthusiasm needed to fly this show. Her big picture vision, creativity, marketing and event planning skills will keep Firefly thriving and growing. 

Holland, Allison & Kristin will be working closely with Beth in the coming weeks as she brings her wings up to full span and speed. Please join us in welcoming Beth!

“I fell in love with Firefly and the Flygals at the first market I attended. Being an artist and lover of amazing artisan creativity, I knew immediately this was a great fit. I am thrilled to be a part of and promote this talented artisan community,” shared Beth.

We would also like to express our deep gratitude and enthusiastic "cheers" to all who have partnered with us in helping Firefly Handmade soar to a quick success over these past 2 1/2 years. We are excited for what's to come!

Complete details, location and more, will be posted very SOON! Please check website and facebook in upcoming days. Summer Market applications are now open!
