Were back

 It's been a while and we just wanted to update you on what's been going on.  With moving, remodeling and venturing into new art enterprises we have been busy and sadly neglectful of our website.  So all of this is changing and we are moving forward with a new focus towards some fun events and artistic challenges!  Recently we have been participating in the Gresham Saturday Market which has been challenging and rewarding at times.  Who knew us old chicks could put up a tent and lug around 45+ weights?  Setting up, although tedious, is the easiest but by the end of the day and the sun is shining down, let's just say it's exhausting and did I mention HOT.  Our fellow vendors and the management team have been great.  We love the customer feedback plus we even reconnected with some of our past Wren's Nest friends!  One of our members has also joined Artistic Portland, an artist co-op conveniently located in the Hollywood District.  This is an amazing store featuring locally made products from beautiful jewelry to unique wall art.  If you live or are visiting in Oregon check us out!

We have been adding items to our etsy site weekly.  I included a few of our newer items in the post.  CheckTinkerware
out our etsy site for all of our new items.


Speaking of the Wren's Nest, our Holiday Show is planned for the weekend of November 7th.   We are featuring many new artists, a lot of our favorites and of course an assortment of Vintage treasures.  This year we promise you an easy, relaxing shopping excursion that will meet your holiday and gift giving needs.  Updates and featured artists will start in September so don't forget to check back in. 

We are looking for a few artists to join our Holiday event.  If you are interested and want more information you can contact me at Wrens Nest.  We will need photos and a brief description of your artwork, food item or product. 

Enjoy the rest of the summer and save the date for our Holiday Show!

Tinkerware is at the Saturday Market.

We are back.  This summer we are at the Gresham Saturday Market.  Our next date is May 30th booth 90.  We have a 5 family craft booth with a mixture of vintage with all types of treasures for home, children, and gifts.  Take a glimpse at a few of our new items.
