Northeast Ohio’s longest-running independent craft show, Cleveland Bazaar regularly recruits artists from all across the region to participate in its events. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, at Lake Affect Studios, it’ll host a special Valentine’s Day edition of its popular craft show so that shoppers who want to avoid hitting the mall or big box retail stores in search of gifts for their loved ones will have another option.

A press release for the event suggests the wide range of items that’ll be for sale and promises everything from “wooden robots to handmade chocolates.” And that’s not to mention “meticulously crafted jewelry” and “taxidermy.” Ok, we’re not sure how “taxidermy” figures into the mix, but the show will emphasize “handmade and locally-produced-with-lots-of-love items.” You can find more information on the Bazaar Facebook page.
