Upcoming Vendor Events – Meet Us in Person!

We love connecting with our community at local vendor events throughout the year! There’s nothing quite like seeing our handcrafted pieces in person and feeling the quality of our items. Chatting with you about your home décor dreams and gift-giving needs brings us joy.

At each event, we bring a carefully selected collection of Bruce’s wooden creations and Karen’s fabric artistry. You’ll find everything from seasonal décor to timeless pieces that work year-round. We often debut new items at these events before they appear in our online shop. Why not be the first to get one?

Why Visit Us at Vendor Events?

See and Touch Our Work: Photos can only show so much. At our booth, you can feel the smooth finish on our wooden pieces, examine the quality of our fabric work, and see what makes each item special.

 Meet the Makers: We love sharing the stories behind our pieces, explaining our techniques, and hearing about your projects and ideas. These conversations often inspire new creations!

Custom Consultations: Thinking about a custom piece? Events are the perfect place to discuss your vision, see examples of our work, and plan something uniquely yours.

Exclusive Event Pricing: We often offer special pricing or bundle deals that are only available at in-person events.

First Look at New Items: Many of our newest creations make their debut at vendor events before being added to our online shop.
