Intown Holiday Market Saturday, December 8, 2018

The Holiday Market on Saturday was full of surprises! There was so much to see and in the case of Monica Leap, programs director and founder from Studio 550, hands-on pottery making! How great is that! The customer can make their own pottery, choose the glaze and Studio 550 will finish the process for the them.

Studio 550 and Earth Cut Pottery are right in front of the Post Office which is worth mentioning if anyone has packages/mail to take care of you can take care of that here also.


The Soul Sisters Studio and DiZigns booth’s are at the opposite end of the lobby corridor, as well as the raffle table to win prize donations from the vendors, so be sure to check out the entire Holiday Market. Also check out the huge posters of the city along the big windows of our area as well as the many vintage framed photos on the walls.

There are many visitors to the Market that peruse the entire length and are rewarded with some special gifts from our booths.

Elizabeth, Ellen and Marie were so great to group together and let me take their fabulous picture………..Thanks you guys!

Joe and Sheryl bought one of my most favorite bags with a plush black velvet lining, Thank you so much you two….I love couple pictures!

Thanks Lisa and Michelle! The bag that was purchased was a kind-of paisley design with a red satin lining and red drawstrings.

Without the weekday workers, I was pleasantly surprised at the volume of customers for the Saturday (first time on Saturday for me). It was pretty steadily busy, which made it a little difficult to take many pictures (which is great!) and many thanks to my good-sport customers that allowed me to.

Jeanne Manney and Kim Moltisanti from Young Living Essential Oils

Also at our end of the Market are Jeanne and Kim from Young Living Essential Oils and they will start you on your journey to enjoying and enhancing your life with pure, authentic essential oils.

3D Woodblock is another example of the unique items that can be found here and I had to put my favorite animal in the forefront. 3D Woodblock makes lenticular print collages which are stunning.

(Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles )
