What happens when eight designer-artists get together in a shared retail space and start showing off their wares? You get "venue". This collective has everyting from one-of-a-kind print press cards, to unique bags and purses, to calligraphy-scribed home furnishings. Best of all, you get access to the people that make things you're shopping for, and you're able to ask whatever you want about materials, quality, and construct. Top highlight: check out the laptop carrier from Red Delicious.
Be sure to hit this one on Ballard "Second Saturdays" and see the neighborhood market in full swing.
