Join Us: Shop Local, Tell Your Story & Discover the Perfect Piece

We are so excited for the remainder of 2025 — it’s shaping up to be a wonderful season of live events, local community, and beautiful jewelry that tells your story. Whether it’s a treat for yourself or a meaningful gift for someone special, we’re thrilled to bring our collection out into the world — and you’re invited. Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and come say “hello”.

Below is where we’ll be this fall and holiday season. We hope to see you there.

Saturday, October 25 | 10 am-3 pm

Sunshine Market at Midtown — @ Midtown Tampa

Event Address: 3650 Midtown Dr, Tampa

If you’ve not visited this market yet: it’s a vibrant community gathering held on the fourth Saturday of each month in Midtown Tampa, with 40+ local vendors, live music, a dog-friendly, family-friendly atmosphere and free parking. (Midtown Tampa)

For us, it’s the perfect kickoff: a bright Saturday morning, local vendors, and an opportunity to browse jewelry in-person. Come by, chat with us, try things on, and find that piece that speaks to you.

Tip: Arrive early if you want first pick of new pieces; parking should be easy though arriving closer to 10 am always helps.

Sunday, November 2 | 11 am-3 pm

Sunday Market @ HOB Brewing Co.

Event Address: 931 Huntley Ave, Dunedin, FL 34698

We’re delighted to join this Sunday market in Dunedin — a slightly different vibe, more relaxed, brunch-friendly perhaps, with the bonus of local craft beer (if you’re so inclined) and a scenic town setting.

It’s a fantastic chance for you to shop local in Dunedin, try on something new, bring your friend, and make a Sunday event of it.

Tip: Since it’s a weekday-adjacent weekend day (Sunday), consider staying after the market for lunch or a stroll in downtown Dunedin while you enjoy a delicious (and healthy) scoop of dairy-free ice cream from one of my all time favorite spots: Coco Lov.

Sat-Sun, November 22 & 23 | 11 am-5 pm

Markets for Makers – Tampa Holiday Market @ Florida State Fairgrounds

Event Address: 4800 US Hwy 301 N, Tampa, FL 33610

This one is big. Markets for Makers is a national-style curated maker market that’s brought to Tampa — offering hundreds of makers, a wide variety of artisan goods, photo-walls, food/drink stations, and more. (get familiar at marketsformakers.com)

It’s a great opportunity to see our full collection, pick up jewelry + maybe some other local finds, and really make a day of it (or both days!).

Tip: Expect crowds (which is part of the fun). Plan ahead: maybe drop by early, allocate time to explore, bring cash + card. If you’re in the holiday-shopping mindset, this is a perfect spot.

Sunday, December 7 | 1-4 pm

Locals Only Holiday Market @ The Pilates Haus

Event Address: 314 S Missouri Ave, Clearwater, FL 33756

This is a more intimate market, nestled in Clearwater at The Pilates Haus parking lot. It’s the kind of event where you can slow down, connect, browse in a cozy setting, and maybe find something truly special for the holidays.

There will be an espresso bar, local artisans, baked goods and more. The timing is perfect for getting ahead of the gift-rush.

Tip: Consider this one for “that gift” you’ve been meaning to find — something meaningful, beautifully crafted, and local. Bring a friend to browse + make it a mini outing.

Saturday, December 13 | 10 am-2 pm

The Market  Marie @ Coachman Park 

Event Address: 300 Cleveland St, Clearwater, FL 33755

Another fantastic holiday-market setting: Coachman Park in Clearwater is scenic, central, and this event is a great wrap-up for our year. Come see us, finalize your holiday shopping, try something new, and maybe treat yourself too.

Tip: With it being mid-December, holiday shopping energy will be high. Bring a tote, come early, and allow time to browse — you’ll find more than just jewelry (and maybe some fresh inspiration for gifts).

Why These Markets Matter

We believe shopping local matters — for you, for us, and for our community. Markets like these give you the chance to:

• See and touch our handmade jewelry in real life: try it on, feel the finish, ask questions.
• Connect with the maker behind the pieces (that’s us) and hear the story, which makes the piece more meaningful.
• Discover other local vendors, artisans, creators — the same spirit that drives our work drives many of them.
• Support your local economy: the more you shop local, the more vibrant our community becomes.

Plus, there’s something special about live events: the energy of a gathering, the buzz of discovery, the joy of finding just the right piece.

What You’ll Find At Our Booth

Since we get to bring our collection in-person for these events, here’s what we’re up to:

• A curated selection of our signature jewelry pieces — earrings, necklaces, bracelets — that whisper “this is you”.
• New items (holiday-inspired / gift-friendly) and love-notes to our regular designs.
• Friendly conversation: tell us your story, what you’re drawn to, and we’ll help match you.
• Holiday-shopping readiness: pieces that are gift-ready, and we’ll have packaging + will help you make someone’s day.
• A chance to try things on, see how they look in natural light, ask about customizations (if applicable) and leave feeling inspired.

A Few Tips for Attending

• Bring a friend (or tag someone ahead of time!), make it a date to shop local together.
• Arrive early where possible — especially for the larger markets — so you get the pick of pieces.
• Have an idea of your budget + gift list (if holiday-shopping) so you can browse with purpose.
• Wear something simple so you can easily try on pieces.
• Follow us on social for live updates at each event (in case of slight timing/location changes).
• Most importantly: take your time, enjoy the process, and find something that feels right for you.

We can’t wait to see you at one (or more!) of these markets. Bring your good energy, your love of local, and let’s make this season sparkle together. See you in Tampa Bay!

✨ With love,
