Word to the wise: Our fundraising eBay auctions are ending in 3 HOURS! Make your bid by 6pm PST to bring home one of these amazing handmade goodie bags (Lot #1 is pictured above). The bidding has been brisk and there are a lot of people watching these auctions, so act now and maybe you'll be the lucky winner. Thanks, all!

Hey folks! Just a note to let you know that in addition to our Etsy shop, which has been open for a few months now, we're now hosting a Felt Club Shoppe right here on the website. This way you don't have to open up an Etsy account if you don't want to, you can purchase stuff directly from our Shoppe. You'll find a link to the Shoppe in the bottom navigation links all over our website, or just click here!

Oh no! Our humble craft fair was recently levied with city fines nearing $600, all for postering violations from 2006. Basically, some of our wonderfully enthusiastic friends put up flyers where they weren't supposed to, and/or didn't remove them after the show was over...and now the city has come a-knockin'. The end result is that we've had to spent lots of money we don't have on paying these fines, which stinks since a) we don't make money or charge admission at our shows and b) we're starting 2007 at a deficit, not a great thing when we're looking forward to putting on two super-sized and better-than-ever shows at the Ex-Plx this July and November.

So, in true "Let's put on a show!" fashion, our craftastic vendors (such as Cathy of California, Nicola Vruwink, Sidepony, Mister Funky and more) and friends (like Reform School and My Favorite Mirror) have banded together to help us raise some dough. We've assembled three mind-bogglingly cool lots of handmade goodness and have thrown 'em up on eBay. Each lot contains heaps of great stuff like vinyl zip pouches, crocheted owls, vintage charm jewelry, baby tees, one-of-a-kind handbags, silkscreened sketchbooks and more. Score one of these babies and you can rest easy, having taken care of a year's worth of gift-giving in one fell swoop! Of course, you could always just bid on one and enjoy all the awesomeness for yourself, it's totally up to you. Either way, we hope you'll bid!

The auctions go on sale at 6pm today (3/11) on eBay, and will end at 6pm on Sunday, March 18. Click here to check out the auctions, and check out Flickr for more photographs and info. ALSO please note that we've extended our $15 OFF poster sale through March 18, so if you wanna score a gorgeous Jordan Crane silkscreen for only $20, visit our Etsy store now.

Please feel free to help spread the word via your blog or whatnot, we need all the help we can get. More info on Felt Club is available here. Many thanks for your continued interest in Felt Club, we're looking forward to blowing the roof off the craft house in 2007!
