Oxford Maker's Market raising funds for Haiti

The Oxford Maker's Market is one of the hottest venues to find locally handmade crafts, art and gifts in Oxford, Mississippi.  At the first market of 2010 last weekend at The Lyric Oxford, artist Andrea Thomasson sold handmade flower-shaped hair pins for $10 each, with half of the proceeds going to Haiti, and the Maker's Market sold donated rings for $2 each (that were not handmade) with 100% of the proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.

The Oxford Maker's Market's RINGS FOR HAITI - these rings were donated to the Maker's Market.  Because they are not handmade AND they were free, the Maker's Market is selling them for $2 each with funds going entirely to Doctors Without Borders.  They raised $22.00 at the first market, and they hope to continue to raise funds for their charity of choice at upcoming markets.

The Oxford Maker's Market will make it's next appearance Friday night, February 12th at the Vaudeville show at the Powerhouse in Oxford.  They will be selling Valentine's-themed art and gifts.  Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.
