As always, last weekend’s Artist Market was a blast. I wish I had better pictures, but to show you what I was up against, look at my booth:
Yes, it’s the one bathed in heavenly light.
I didn’t realize quite how spotlighted my booth was until I went up to the loft and visited Spacecraft who did a gift tag making station and had all sorts of fun stuff going on.
She also had this rad handmade wrapping paper. Love it!
My booth neighbor ended up being Miyako from cone10studios, whose website I finished recently. Charleston is such a small town and it was fun to see her work doing so well.
This time around I did do something a little different with the display. To make “risers” of sorts, I got some styrofoam planks (they sell them in thick sheets at the craft store) and simply wrapped them up in Kraft paper. They were light, easy to carry and did the trick perfectly for a simple craft show display. It’s always such a struggle to get dimension in your display.
Here’s a photo of me and the booth shot by the one and only Sea Star Arts who likes to take pictures of you while you’re talking to her…
…but she tends to always get great pictures that way :-)
A few of the other great vendors I met…
- Monica from SheSells Candles (they smelled amazing!)
- The Orange Spot Coffee House — they had a drink that literally tasted like Apple Pie and I love their whole vibe
- Vanessa from Southern Cotton had adorable little bow ties and hair pieces
- I always love Nicholas Lane Jewelry – very classy and sophisticated pieces.
- Elizabeth Horton of Nostalgic Graphic Tees – silhouettes and really cute shirts for kids.
There were also carolers, food truck Banh Mi (YUM), and it was just an all around fun day. So glad we get to be a part of it.
