This Weekend: Lowcountry Artist Market

Ellen McGauley

Just wanted to let you know about a can't-miss event, folks. After a successful inaugural spring show, the Lowcountry Artist Market is back and open this Saturday, November 13, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.! The one-day market featuring handmade and vintage everything garnered rave reviews from its spring shoppers, prompting this weekend’s Fall show. A little background: organizer Kristen Thompson Gastaldo put together the event by combing the popular Etsy.com site for Lowcountry sellers. This expanded to include all local purveyors of vintage goods, home and garden wares, handmade jewelry, and more.

My opinion? It’s the place to be for young, style-savvy folks who want to either glean a bit of handmade inspiration or buy up the fruits of Charleston neighbors’ labors.

Here’s a sampling of some of the vendors. And if you do head out to the show, let us know what goods you score!
