So, so, so much going on. Let's kick off the handmade shopping season!

The 6th Annual Girlie Show
The Girlie Show is art, creativity, craftsmanship and funk. Hand-designed, sometimes refined, and all by chicks. It’s not stuffy like an art show or fluffy like a craft show. Think less haute, more hot. Guys, girls, good times. And this year is rockin’ number six.

Time: Friday 8pm-midnight; Saturday noon-5 pm
Location: Farmer's Public Market Building, Oklahoma City, OK
