Another new vendor: Meet Tena Boas of Chipped and Cracked

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by to meet yet another featured vendor. Today's vendor is new to the show, and has some adorable creations with a Florida flair. Tena Boas of Chipped and Cracked will have repurposed items, distressed furniture, old windows, windchimes, home decor, and more at the Dec. 6th show. Below are just a few examples of her work. I love the table made from a window. So many fun possibilities of what you could put inside. Heck, you could change it up every month, for holidays, or to show off treasures gathered on your vacations. Welcome to the show, Tena!

Introducing Emily Carty of Awakened, Renewed, Transformed!

  Hello to all of our fabulous fans! Today starts the 1 month countdown to the show on Dec. 6th! That means it's time to start sharing some of our new and returning vendors.  Today, I'd like to introduce you to Emily Carty, of Awakened, Renewed, Transformed. She'll have hand picked vintage and antique items (many that she has renewed into something drool-worthy!) including furniture, home decor, "smalls" and more! She and her daughter also make garden decor pieces. We are so excited to have her join us! Welcome to the show, Emily! You can visit her business page on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/AwakenedRenewedTransformed

Vendor contest!

 Well, Halloween has come and gone, and all extra candy has been removed from my house. No more sneaking mini candy bars at 6:30 in the morning while I'm making breakfast! Be gone Baby Ruth! So long Butterfinger!  Thanksgiving is around the corner next and will come quickly. Hopefully not TOO quickly, as one has to have as many opportunities as possible to overdose on all things pumpkin. I'm a pumpkin addict, and have been known to request pumpkin pie instead of cake for my birthday. In other words, I LOVE PUMPKIN!  Something ELSE I love is getting free stuff! Vendors, Jessica and I have come up with a contest that will help our show continue to grow, and offer a prize to the person who most helps to do so.
Starting today, November 4th, we are posting a challenge. Whichever vendor who is accepted to the show, and who refers the most NEW vendors (either artists, crafters, vintage, antiques) who are also accepted, will get their 1 (one) booth space for the Dec. 6th show FREE!
SO...TELL YOUR FRIENDS! TELL YOUR FAMILY! We have one month left, and want this to be the biggest and best show yet! It will FINALLY be cooler out, and seasonal snowbirds will be back, and ready to do some Christmas shopping. When your referrals apply, ask them to mention your name in the application.
The person who has the most accepted referrals by Dec. 1st WINS!
ALSO...Starting tomorrow, Nov. 5th, I will start this round of blog featured vendors. We have some new talent to show off, along with your favorite returning vendors. Stop back in tomorrow for your first peak!

New show application is up!

My returning vendors have had a few days to get a head start on choosing a booth space, and I am now accepting applications for new vendors too! So, if you have vintage &/or antique wares, or are an artist or crafter who is interested in joining our show, just click on the link on the left side of the blog, or visit www.funkyartandvintagemart.com for more info.

Applications open to previous vendors starting today!

I am back from my vacation up north, and just emailed vendors from the previous show(s) with a link to apply to be vendors at the Dec. 6th show. Please check your emails for it! If I missed you, please email me and let me know. I will swiftly send you the link.
If you'd like to be a new vendor at the December show, I will be posting the link to the website this Friday.
Thanks for stopping by! Check back soon!

The elves are already busily creating and collecting!

"Hello? Are you calling to inquire about the next Funky Art & Vintage Mart? Even Mrs. Claus is looking forward to it! After all, she's heard that Florida is quite nice in December, and is looking forward to a trip away from the North Pole. 
The next show is Saturday, December 6th, at the Martin County Fairgrounds.

A link to apply to be vendor will be available after Oct. 5th. So, call again soon!"

Post show news and thank you's!

Like me, I am sure all of our vendors are recovering from a very wonderful, busy day at the show. I want to thank all of the fabulous vendors for being so patient, friendly, helpful, and just all out AWESOME. Our shoppers had a great time, despite the threat of bad weather, and we were blessed with a mostly rain free show. I am continuously amazed at the creativity and hard work that went in to all of your displays, creations, etc. We have such a fun & creative group! I appreciate your input and positive attitudes! Thanks to Stephen Bowzer, who was a big help with set up and check in. I was on my own for this one, and I don't think I could have pulled it off without him.
The next show is December 6th, and Jessica Pack, my good friend who has a lot of experience and is downright fabulous, will be handling a large part of the show. I am leaving for vacation this week, and will have the application for the Dec 6th show available after Oct. 5th. So, check for the link to apply at www.funkyartandvintagemart.com after Oct. 5th.
