 Expanding
to four buildings and an outdoor
area (weather permitting), the
Elkhart Vintage Market returns to
historic downtown Elkhart on
Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. With more than 20 vendors,
items include retro, repurposed,
antique, housewares, clothing, small
furniture -- and more. Everything
old is new again at the Elkhart
Vintage Market.
 Looking
for something unusual? Sarah Wilson,
an Elkhart resident, says: "You
never know what interesting, quirky
item you will find. Last year I
picked up a book called 'Wicked
Plants: The Weed That Killed
Lincoln's Mother & Other Botanical
Atrocities,' by Amy Stewart. It's a
very interesting, unique book!"
The Artisan Craft Fair will run
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April
20-21 and April 27-28 in historic
downtown Elkhart. With over 20
booths, local crafters will provide
shoppers with all types of handmade
items to purchase, including
children's items, jewelry, wood and
gourd crafts, bags and totes,
walking sticks and canes, hand-sewn
items, purses, wine glasses, and
tarts and warmers.
