Where To Buy / Market Dates
The best place is right here, on my website! I ship worldwide from Maryland, USA.
Unless you're local to the DMV area - in which case, come see me in-person!
(Not in the DMV? I wholesale to shops around the country! Check here to find one near you.)

Your support at these events and shopping my website helps me attend more events, and by extension, helps other local artisans too! I only attend events featuring vetted handmade artisans - no direct sales, temu resellers, or AI art.

Order online, pickup at a market!
I can't bring all of my online products to local markets, and sometimes they sell out - so if there is something you had your eye on, order ahead and pickup! Here's how -
1 - Add item(s) to your cart.
2 - Before checkout, in the "order special instructions box" in your cart, add the date/location of your preferred market (see this page for the most up-to-date schedule) *Please allow 24+ hours prior to event start time*
3 - At checkout, use the coupon code "MARKETPICKUP" for free shipping, even if it already qualifies for free shipping. This tells me not to pack it up and ship it! (You will still have to enter a shipping address and select a shipping service for now).
4 - Once I've bagged your order, you will receive an email that your order has been fulfilled - please double check the scheduled event times. I will hold the order for the duration of the event, so shop around and pickup as you make it around to my tent. You can have someone else pick up on your behalf, they'll just need your name and order number or the confirmation email.
If there is a weather-related cancellation or other issue, I will contact you asap to make other arrangements.
