KY Crafted: The Market 2013

Since I was accepted into the KY Crafted program last fall, I was eligible to participate in Ky Crafted: The Market....and I was SO excited!!!  This show features mostly KY artists who are all part of this program.  There is one full day of wholesale and then two days that are open to the public for retail.  While it was a long week leading up to it having just gotten back from Philly, I was so glad to be there.  Wholesale day went really well.  I met buyer's from KY as well as other states and also saw many of my current KY retailers.  Everyone was so congratulatory and excited to see me be a part of the show.  The whole weekend really felt like a celebration.  The retail days were fun, and it felt like most of Lexington came out for the festivities.  The KY Arts Council did an amazing job (as always).  This is one of the shows I will definitely look forward to doing again!

I was delighted and surprised to see one of my journals on the door as you
headed into the convention center!

This is almost everything for my booth on one cart!  Welcome to loading in and out...it makes me thankful for a small car that I can't fit too much in :)
