Handmade Market at The Paisley Farmhouse

Four Seasons Quilt Shoppe participated in the first "Handmade Market" at The Paisley Farmhouse in Milton (GA). The tenants of the cute little "shopping center", anchored by a really great Publix with a water tower facade and stable-style doors (what imagination!) on Birmingham Road in the middle of horse country, sponsored a one-day event and The Paisley Farmhouse invited several unique vendors to sell their wares. The weather was wonderful, and the mix of artisans was perfect - handmade soaps, re-purposed jewelry, aprons, hand-knitted dolls and that wonderful handbag made from plastic trash bags that I raved about in a previous blog. Some of these vendors had never done shows before, and had been selling their products via other outlets - Etsy, Ebay, and thru their blogsites. The event gave everyone the opportunity to meet like-minded craftspeople, and to (hopefully) set the groundwork for another show in the Fall. Above is a photo of my booth, with some new quilts (left to right) - Citrus Salsa, Parisien Cafe, and Cranberry Scones with Apricot Jam. Do you notice a slight theme with the names of my quilts - kind of a "foodie" theme . . . anyway, check back with my website periodically as I will be posting the date for the next "Handmade Market" in the near future. In the meantime, visit The Paisley Farmhouse on your next trip to Milton. It's a great little shop, and I know you'll surely find the perfect gift for yourself, a friend, or a loved one!
