I Made It and Handmade Arcade Gifts Ideas

Handmade Arcade (Pittsburgh)

A few weeks ago I had the great fortune to meet some of the folks who work at ModCloth, an online retailer of fabulous fashions that is based here in Pittsburgh.  One of the cool tools I learned about is Polyvore – which is a website that lets you “clip” your favorite items and group them into sets to share on your blog, Facebook and Twitter.   I have been having some fun creating sets of items for Spreadshirt so I thought I would do the same for IheartPGH too. (I have even set up an IheartPGH group on Polyvore here).

My first Polyvore set for IheartPGH is a round up of some items from vendors who were at the I Made It Market or Handmade Arcade.  (I wanted to add even more but for some reason – you can’t clip images from Etsy to Polyvore 🙁 ).

Here are just a few of the goodies that were available – click on each item to learn more about it and visit the website of the vendor. Most of the vendors are from Pittsburgh too!

Did you buy any handmade gifts? Who were your favorite vendors? Please share more links to Etsy shops in the comments.

Links Worth a Look – August 6th

Here are some links/articles/blog posts that are worth a look:

  • Hack Pittsburgh – HackPittsburgh is a non-profit, community-based workshop that allows members to come together and share skills & tools to pursue creative projects. Our membership is open to everyone but typically comprises inventors, engineers, scientists, programmers, hobbyists, artists, roboteers, families, entrepreneurs, and arts and crafts enthusiasts. Our focus is on collaboration, education, and community outreach. We’re a benevolent group and do not promote or condone illegal activities. The term “hacking” is used in a benign sense, in the context of deconstructing and understanding objects and systems and re-purposing existing materials for new and innovative uses.
  • SUGAR boutique is now blogging – Sugar boutique – located on Butler Street in Lawrenceville – now has a blog and a twitter account. The blog has some great posts about the shop and the new items that are being added to the shop. I love when businesses can share the stories behind what they are selling.
  • Soon you will be able to rent bikes at South Side Works! – Golden Triangle Bike Rental, in its third year of operation along Downtown’s Eliza Furnace Trail, is opening a second location in the Works’ Town Square area;
