It's a family affair.

As you know, Bette's Bags started out as a mother/daughter team. But the truth is it's become a "Family Affair"! You see The Hubs has always come to every show to help with setup, tear down and help with sales.  But you'll usually find THE WHOLE FAMILY at our favorite market, Ballston Arts & Crafts Market.  That's right....The Hubs, The Son, The Son-in-law, Maggie and Sweet Cheeks can usually be found sitting in the shade at our own little "campsite" enjoying the day at The Bllston Market. 

Come by and see us at the next Ballston Market on June 9th. You'll find Bette's Bags in space 30 and "the fam" in the shady area just behind our booth.

DC Craft Mafia's Spring Thing is happening this weekend!

As a PROUD member of the DC Craft Mafia family I am excited to invite you to the second annual Spring Thing craft show. This year’s show will feature over 40 local vendors showing off their creative DIY house wears, baby goods, jewelry, hula hoops, art, food and more. Bette's Bags will be there with new bags and accessories.

Local charity Lucky Dog Rescue will be there for furry love and adoptions, and live music by Dave Tieff (Check out his music on his homepage) will be provided early on in the show.

The first 250 visitors will receive a gift tote!   So come out and pick up some unique crafts while enjoying the Spring weather!

Mother's Day and Ballston A & C Market...the perfect combination!
