1) All handmade goodies. You know how sometimes you go to "craft shows" and they're mostly cheap jewelry or somebody selling maple syrup or flea market booths with sellers who just wanted a space to get rid of the crap in their basement? Well. All the vendors at the Queen Bee Market had to apply and be personally approved by the organizers, so it's all handmade goodies, all quality items, no unrelated booths that have no business being in a craft show.
2) No door charge. Who wants to pay before they've even picked out any treasures? The Queen Bee Market is free and open to the public, so just waltz on in and only part with your money once you're good and ready and have some fun new stuff to show for it.
3) I'll be there. Yes sirree Bob, I will. I might be quivering in fear since I've spent the better part of two months procrastinating and worrying about this, or I might be completely overshadowed by the bigger badder booths who make a living out of events like these (while I, a mere frumpy hobbyist mother, am just doing this for fun), or giddy with excitement over all the fun items I plan to buy. Whether quivering from nerves or excitement, I will be there. And there will be quivering.
4) Check out the vendors ahead of time . . . get excited. There are so many awesome vendors lined up! You can see a full list of vendors right HERE and browse some of the merchandise ahead of time. I'm honestly a little concerned that I'll spend way more than I make.
So if you're in Utah and up for some fun shopping this weekend, mark your calendar and head out. The Market is at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, in the show barn, from 7-9 PM on Friday and 9 AM to 3 PM on Saturday. Visit the Queen Bee Market's website for more info. And leave a comment if you're coming . . . I want to know who to look for!
