You may already be planning to hit up Oceanside’s fifth annual street fair in celebration of Dia de los Muertos. While you are down there, take some shelter from the sun and head down Artist’s Alley, between Pierview and Mission Ave, where the Oceanside Craft Mafia will be hosting it’s first annual craft fair and trunk show in conjunction with the holiday. Plan on being wow’d by members’ handmade products. Find original items including jewelry, pottery, hand made cards, baby goods, and much, much more. And, though it may seem early, time does fly and this is a great way to kick off your holiday shopping and support your local economy.
The Oceanside Craft Mafia’s Trunk Show is Saturday, November 1st from 7 to 9:30 pm. The Trunk Show booth space is by reservation only and will feature drinks, appetizers, and of course fabulous hand made goods. For information contact info@oceansidecraftmafia.com. Not down for the late night shopping? Find the same great vendors on Sunday, Nov 2nd from 10 am to 2 pm. Follow the chalk art and live music or just map it. Artist’s Alley is located at 212 N. Coast Hwy, Unit D, enter through the alley, in Oceanside, CA.
The Oceanside Craft Mafia is a culmination of jewelers, paper crafters, potters and stitchers. The group embraces the morals and creative achievements of the members of the Austin Craft Mafia (www.craftmafia.com), who began the now national crafters organization.
In addition to offering moral support to one another, the OCM works together to creatively market their individual companies and products. By pooling resources they are able to help one another become more successful in an inundated indie craft market. It’s as much about being a family as it is building business. They rely on one another to inspire, assist and care for one another, and always adhering to strict personal and business ethics.
The real glue that brings this group together is the hope to personalize the consumer market. We literally have the world’s market to shop from thanks to the World Wide Web. But so many of our options are impersonal and mass produced. The OCM supports hand-made and artisan products and believes strongly that they are better made and life enriching.

These little itty bitty emblems come of junk yard cars. You ask where do you find these little guys? Well inside the old caddies these are emblems off of interior lights.
They will be added to our site shortly.
