Today I drove out to Sherman Oaks to visit Andrea Spyros, owner of the fantastic store Handmade Galleries. I had heard a lot about the space from friends and acquaintances (words like "fabulous" were bandied about), but this was my first in-person visit to the store, and I was (as predicted) blown away. Handmade is a whopping 5,000 square feet, which are divided up into booths and rented out to an astounding array of artists and crafters. Their selection of handmade gifts is rounded out with fun stuff like Pacifica candles, kitschy magnets and greeting cards, vintage clothing and much more. The staff is super sweet and welcoming, just ask all the peeps who have given them glowing reviews on Yelp!

Handmade Galleries is a proud sponsor of our Felt Club: XL Summer event, and will have a table there on July 15. But you can also visit them year-round here:
