Zionsville Country Market
Mike posted about the great Saturday we had at the Zionsville Country Market; it was truly a great day: beautiful weather, shopping and time with two of my favorite people in the whole world. I wanted to highlight a few of the vendors I enjoyed most at the “market”. I love finding local artisans/small business owners with neat and unique products and I get even more excited when they are women small business owners!
Lucky Ducky Designs – I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the chocolate bloom pattern and bought myself a great headband in it. Sandy sells great bibs, burp cloths, blankets (I love the cuddle blankets), diaper bags and aprons for little ones (headbands, too but they’re not on her website). In addition to her website, Sandy also has a blog.
Karen Cowden – I bought several beautiful cards at Karen’s tent. They’re cute, creative and fun!
Brown’s on Main had a great sidewalk sale of retired Vera Bradley patterns. Brown’s is a great store; I sometime’s think is should be called Bradley’s on Main because most of their shop is filled with Vera Bradley!
Another one of my favorite vendors does not have a website yet, but will (hopefully) soon: Apron Strings. They sell darling childrenswear and accessories that are inspired by the past. I bought Libby two onesies with vintage pink and brown fabric squares sewn onto them – they are so cute!
I am bummed I didn’t pick up a business card from the woman that was selling pillow case dresses – these things were so adorable. There were all kinds of tops and dresses made from vintage pillowcases; they’re hard to describe, but I found a picture of something similar here (and if you are the creative type, directions on how to make them here . . . now I just need to find super-cute pillow cases). They were so, so sweet and looked cute as a summer dress or over a long sleeve t-shirt and pants in the winter.
