Are Craft Fairs Moving Online, Too?

It's online, all the time. Apparently. According to this LA Times story, crafters are discovering the convenience of hawking their handmades on the internet - no tent required! Is this the future of local arts and crafts fairs? Or will the ambiance of local, historic, scenic sites still provide a draw to entice browsers (not the digital type! You know, the traditional one-foot-in-front-of-the-other variety.) Will they come out in search of unique, individualized, serendipitous discoveries? Will shoppers with strollers still conduct real, live searches for treasure, or will they give that over to Google, too?
