The fall show flyer


Hello everyone! Just finished up the fall show flyer and I will soon have the application for the show available. This show will be bigger (we have had soooo many vendors who want to return, and new ones who want to join!) and will have more covered spaces in a building across from the barn (which we will still use) along with tent areas in the grass area. I plan to have some fun fall activities and expect to see some wonderful autumn hand crafted and vintage/antique decor offered by our vendors! I can't wait for the fall show! It's my favorite time of year! I'll check back in soon!

Good news! Check your calendars!



The inaugural Funky Art & Vintage Mart was a huge success! A big THANK YOU to everyone who had a part in making it such a fun event! We had a great turnout of eager shoppers and a wonderful mix of vintage/antique vendors and artists/crafters. I am currently in the process of getting an application ready for the next two shows. I will soon have links to apply on this blog, facebook, and on the website. There will be a Fall themed show Sat. Sept 20th, and a Holiday themed show Sat. Dec. 6th.  It will be at the same location, but with more vendors and an addition of covered spaces in a nearby building. We will have more tent spaces in the grassy area of the arena, too.  This time around, I will have a chart ready ahead of time, and once a vendor is approved, they will be able to pick their spot from what is available on the chart.  Stay tuned, and check, your calendars!

What a GREAT DAY!

I just wanted to make a quick post before heading off to church this morning. I got home from the show somewhat late last night and, after devouring some pizza, hit the sack to rest from all the excitement and work from this weekend. WHAT A GREAT SHOW!  Our turn out was AMAZING, our vendors were AMAZING, and the food was AMAZING! A BIG thank you to all the wonderful, creative, and friendly vendors who made this show what it was. Thank you to everyone who came and shopped. We got great feedback, people were smiling and having a great time, and there will DEFINITELY be another show in the future. Our vendors did a fabulous job preparing for the show by getting the word out, creating lovely displays in their booths, and creating a show like no other in our area. Please check back soon, as I will be looking into what dates work for a fall show. The next show will definitely be even bigger, and I know most of our vendors from yesterday are already planning on doing the next show. Once I have the date set, I will once again have an application available on the website. Please check back soon, and spread the word!

Today is the day! IT'S HERE!


The big day is here, so drop everything, and come on over to the Martin Co. Fairgrounds to see what all of our awesome vendors have brought to share with you!  Our open air barn building has shade and a nice breeze.  There will be such a huge selection of one of a kind items, saved especially for this show. Laura Grillo of Junk Dog Salvage has saved a special collection of  items that haven't been for sale at her store yet. The displays at stet up on Friday night were looking fabulous!
Soooo.....come on over and see us! Grab some yummy treats while you are here. We have several food vendors to tempt your taste buds.

Who knows, maybe you will find your new best friend Saturday at the show! We will also have have several food truck and carts with some yummy offerings, including delicious smoothies to keep you cool in the heat.

The countdown has begun!


There are only 6 more days until May 24th, the day of the show! Time has flown by so fast. All of the vendors, and I, have been feverishly collecting, creating, and planning to bring you an awesome event! I haven't been able to feature all of the vendors on this blog, as they applications were coming in faster than I could keep up! I'd love to make a collage of photos from the rest of the vendors to show you, and will hopefully be able to do that.
So....are you EXCITED yet? I am! See you soon!
