The Handmade Market is a unique event to connect the makers of beautiful things to people who appreciate the unique and handmade.
The Empty Bottle starts serving at noon, so feel free to shop with mimosas in hand. (They do encourage relaxed shopping.) You can also grab brunch at the tasty Bite Café next door.
