All craft fairs are not created equal. Some are named “Best Indie Craft Fair” by the Phoenix New Times, while others . . . aren't. Crafeteria at Frances Vintage was indeed named "Best," and the event indeed deserves the honor.

Now in its fifth year, Crafeteria 2010 will feature over 40 of the Valley's most talented indie artists, whose imaginative creations are ideal for some inventive holiday shopping. The one requirement? Everything must be 100% handmade.

Indie record shop Stinkweeds will sponsor live music and Frances' next door neighbor Smeeks will tempt your sweet tooth.
