Amazing Shows & Awesome Events

UPDATES...

It's CRAFT SHOW SEASON, baby! Time to have some fun!
We've got quite a few shows coming up, so we'll list them as fast as we get confirmation.

For those NOT local, you can find some of our items listed in our Etsy shop, although we can only get a small percentage of our goods listed there before they sell out in person.
Why not watch our Social Media, and if you see something you love, just message! We're happy to pull things off the shelf and send them to you!

There's still a WALL of boxes filled to the brim with adorable monster and we're photographing and listing as fast as we can, so please follow us on facebook, instagram, and TikTok (sorry we're slow at that- still learning!), and be sure to keep watching our Etsy shop!
And please please please share us with your friends! Our small business needs your support.

COMING SOON...

We're SOOO grateful for your support!!! Here's a little background about us:
We're "Mostly Monsters" Chula Vista...a Mom & Daughter "shop" that makes and sells 100% HANDMADE whimsical and wearable MONSTER-themed goodies, guaranteed to make you smile. We create our OWN patterns & designs, striving to bring you the cutest and most original creations you've seen. Snuggly, cuddly, cute, (and from time to time, maybe a little CREEPY too.) Hats, tails, Pillows, dolls, hairbows, bowties, zipper bags, coin purses, and much much more! Recently we've been rediscovering our passion for MINIATURE FOOD items, so you can even find food-theme jewelry.

Wanna know more? See more? Read more? BUY more? Check out our "About" page, Blog, and more by clicking on the tabs above. You can even laugh at our BLOG. But let us start by letting you know where you can find us (and our merchandise) in PERSON:

Here's where to find us locally...

Fliers and details...

We are on Instagram, Facebook, and slowly exploring the World of TikTok (we\ll get the hang of it soon!) so we're working on adding more local shows to our lineup.

Just to clarify (because apparently there is some confusion), WE DO NOT RUN ANY SHOWS...we simply show and sell our handmade goods and volunteer our time to make the show happen, just like all the other crafters. (If you have a question about being IN a show, or show-related questions, you'll generally need to contact the show promoter directly, typically as seen on the flier.) We just post copies of fliers for shows we're selling at so local customers can find us more easily.
But please visit us on facebook, Instagram, and Etsy any day, at any time!

"Friends & Family"
Personal Pop-up
Local friends, family, & neighbors are invited to stop by for the annual inventory clear-out at our home "open house" just in time for Holiday Shopping. Every single item in stock is set out to ease end-of-year inventory, so it's your once-a-year chance to grab those items you may have missed through the seasons, and grab some gifts too!

MUST contact directly for location, as this is a private event.

Friday-Saturday-Sunday

Here comes
MOSTLY MONSTERS!!!

"Mostly Monsters" does like to sell face-to-face to local customers. So, we try to keep active in the local Craft Community, participating in only the BEST Boutique-style shows on a limited basis. If you happen to be in San Diego County and visit one of our shows, you do get the added bonus of getting to handle the items (we recommend petting the faux fur hats- we choose only the BEST and softest furs!), and sometimes we create special SHOW EXCLUSIVES! We hope everyone has a chance to visit our booth sometime soon!

We know a lot of our "fans" are across the country and around the world, so you can always visit our online Etsy Shop to make a purchase anytime.
www.etsy.com/shop/MostlyMonstersCV
If you ever notice one of our products that catches your eye on social media, but don't see it in our online shop, please contact us. We'll be happy to list it (if it's still available) on etsy just for YOU!
For the "LOCALS", we love to meet and greet and chat, so we'll work to keep a current listing of craft shows here so you can visit us in person. As we get more info on shows to come, we'll be sure to post them here!

At this time, we're anxiously awaiting show dates, confirmations, and for new shows to pop up, so our schedule is a work in progress.
We will do our best to try to update the list as shows are confirmed!

Guess who's starring in their own itty bitty film???
Taylor Ingalls (the younger half of the Mostly Monsters Team) created an adorable mini-documentary about life as a Crafter for the Campus Movie Fest at San Diego State University! Check it out...
