Head into Silver Spring tomorrow morning for the Fenton Street Market where local artists, collectors, and crafters exhibit their wares every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Held at the corner of Fenton Street and Silver Spring Avenue with plentiful free parking nearby, Fenton Street Market features an incredible assembly of handmade (and vintage) goodness.

Among the selection of delectable merchandise are refurbished bikes, artisan soaps, screenprinted posters, organic clothing, eco-friendly children’s toys, jewelry, baskets, teapots, cups, handbags, pet supplies, ornaments, wood vessels, paper crafts, textiles, bibs, booties, and banners – all of which are handmade.

The market runs weekly through October. For more information, including directions, a list of vendors, and application guidelines, visit their website at www.fentonstreetmarket.com.
