Tiny Expo took place this Saturday, December 10th from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Braun Court in Kerrytown. Tiny Expo lived up to its name–it truly was tiny. The event was somewhat difficult to find, as I was previously unfamiliar with Braun Court, and there were only a few little signs posted on the doors of the two small buildings indicating that the expo was taking place inside. There were a handful of artists with tables of artwork and crafts for sale. Although none of the items were a good fit for my own Christmas shopping, I was pleased to see that some of the items were reasonably priced for being hand-made by local artists. Some of my favorite items being sold included adorable cards created by Alisa Bobzien

and unique White Owl jewelry ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/whiteowl).
Even though the expo was small, and I personally didn’t find anything I wanted to buy, it was still really interesting to see what local artists are creating. I felt like there are many more local artists that were not at the expo, and I would love to see a larger expo with more artist participation.
