Speaking Easy

September 20th marked the day of the HBOC's Speakeasy Indie Craft Fair, held at Costa Mesa's Detroit bar. Unlike indie craft shows we've presented in the past, this one was quite distinctive because it was tucked away inside a bar! Shoppers par-oozed the fabulous vendor's booths with drinks in hand while listening to records spun by a DJ. It made for a very class and relaxed experience!

A HUGE thank you to all of the Vendors who came to sell their beautiful handmade treasures as well as the etsy sellers who contributed to our very sought after goody bags! Without all these creative spirits, there wouldn't be incredible indie events.
