Do you like designer toys? How about apparel, sculpture, photography, or art prints? If you enjoy anything and everything about the world of design, and you live near Pasadena, California, then you should definitely visit Designer Con!

Now in its sixth year, the 2011 Designer Con will be a one-day event this Saturday, November 5 at the Pasadena Convention Center. It’s a place for people to meet talented artists and pick up some cool merchandise. There will be dozens of vendors at this year’s event, selling everything from clothes to toys, books, art, jewelry, and anything in between. Visitors will also be able to pick up some items exclusive to the event.

Another great thing about Designer Con? It’s insanely cheap. Admission is only $7.00 (or $5.00 if you purchase tickets online), and it’s free for anyone who comes after 3:00pm. It would be an awesome way to spend the day with your friends or family. Be sure to check it out!
