SACE 2015 Fall Show Sneak Peek #2

Only 2 weeks left till my favorite craft show of the year.

The Statesville Artian and Crafters Expo.

Let's see who else is going to be there....

I love journals...I have books stashed everywhere in my house. No Evernote for me. lol. Glenise shares her handcrafted journals created with vintage finds in her Etsy shop Stone Bridge Lane. I can't wait to see these creations in person. My favorite one in her shop is this Brave Girl Journal.

For the accessory lover, we will have Debra from Outtadabag. She creates bags of all shapes and sizes. I really like this Chili Pepper Bag.

For those of you outside of the southern United States, and outside North Carolina....this is a corn hole board with the colors of the NC Tarheels. After moving down here, I quickly learned that THIS is the team to cheer for, at least if I want my neighbors to talk to me. lol. Susan from Design Crazy has these, and so much more to offer. Painted glass. Upcycled pieces. And some AMAZING barn quilts.

The artistic tool of choice for Robert and Billie is a scroll saw. And they are very talented with that saw. Check out the detail of Santa Clause on sleigh during his midnight flight. They have a lot more to offer on Specialties Crafts.

Here's another great looking Santa, this one is from Flowerpot Friends. Cheryl and her hubby just let their imaginations run wild with flower pots...so very cute.

There are soooo many other artists that don't have an online presence, so you need to be sure to stop by The Statesville Christian School in Statesville, NC on Saturday November 21. Look for me, I'll be there too. :)

Be blessed,

Debbi

SACE 2015 Fall Show Sneak Peek #1

I have been so busy this year with craft show after craft show, that I have sorely neglected my blog. But I am going to remedy that with this sneak peak at some of the handmade lovelies you'll find at The Statesville Artisan and Crafters Expo Fall 2015 show.

First up is Arty Fartsy.

Artsy Farsty is a small craft business that was started by Brooke and Emily. They make ladder yarn necklaces, earrings, and stationary.

Then comes The Hobby Sisters.

"Our names are Candice and Katie and before you ask, no, we aren't really sisters. :-) Our kids are great friends who love to play together so we were always hanging out together so we started making these things and this all just kinda happened. We hope you love our stuff as much as we do." You can also find them on Google+.

Carol will be there as Blessed Stitches. She creates hooded towels, key chains, and other various handmade sewing items.

I did absolutely no gardening or canning this year, so you will see me visiting Kim's booth, Sweet Morning Farms. Artisan jams and fresh breads....yummmmmmy. My Hannah is a bread fanatic, so I will have to hide my money. lol

Now this is a local show in Statesville, NC so I'm sure many of you won't be able to visit us there. But on the day of the show I will be sharing tons of pictures and links. If you are in town, come on down. We are also having a chili cook-off, and that is sure to be fun.

Be blessed,

Debbi

This Is Me...All Over The Place

I love doing arts and craft shows.

Cramming everything in my van.

Setting up all my displays.

Discovering what I forgot.

Sitting in the southern heat.

Needing a "break", and finding my daughter has decided to take a walk and scope out the competition.

But my most favorite part?

Visiting with old friends (fellow vendors).

And making new friends (customers).

Lots of them.

:0)

So here is where you can find me locally for the next few months.

The Evening Farmers Market in historic downtown Statesville, North Carolina.

We open every Thursday from 4 to about 6 from April through October.

This is such a great group of people, the farmers, the live entertainment, our balloon guy, and of course, our customers.

Love.

Next up, on October 3rd, I'll be at the October Fall Vendor Expo at the Statesville Rec Center. This is a charity event for a local teen who is battling cancer.

On October 17th, I will (hopefully) be at the Taylorsville Apple Festival.

I say hopefully because I haven't received my vendor packet yet. But this is a very large festival. I did it about 15 years ago, and I would love to get back into it.

And lastly,

The Statesville Artisan and Crafters Expo.

This is my second year with this show, and my third show with this promoter.

Now I know that you can't have a show without crafters and artists, but I also firmly believe that it's the promoter that can make or break a show. And Melissa Friend is an amazing promoter. Concerned about her vendors, and works tirelessly to spread the word. I just love her. :0)

So, there you have it.

And here you can find me.

How about you?

What are some your your favorite shows, to participate or just visit?

Be blessed,

Debbi
