Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
Cathy Wagner from Retail Mavens shares 4 TIPS to prepare for this holiday season. We might have to approach this holiday season a bit differently, but it can absolutely be as successful as previous years.
Handmade is not a trend for Jackie and her team. It’s their identity. IndieMe.com and the Virtual Expo are indispensable for makers and retailers with a passion for handmade.
The beauty of nature is my continual inspiration. As a child, I roamed the bluffs around our home in rural Minnesota and was fascinated by the tiny details of wildflowers, trees, birds and other wildlife.
One by one, the traditional trade shows were being cancelled. These shows are an important piece of the puzzle to all our customers, whether a buyer or a maker. What could IndieMe do that would help bring some semblance of the shows back to life?
I want the wearer to know that their piece was made by a person, and not in a factory. I admire the small imperfections and feel my pieces mimic nature in that way.
Passion and the desire for expression motivates me to create. My process is Watercolor Batik, a method of wax resist painting.
As we enter the retail’s Golden Quarter, it is time to maximize this holiday period and get ready because consumers want to shop and are ready to buy.
Good ideas start with brainstorming, great ideas start with coffee. Grab a mug today and reap the benefits.
A journey of reusing by recreating old, disregarded things into new creations that keep the legacy of the original item while still uncovering something new.
We need our pets as much or more than they need us. We provide them with care and love, and they give us unconditional love and joy!
Sometimes inspiration comes to me like a flash. I’ll be riding in the car or washing dishes, and suddenly my mind wanders and I’ll start thinking, “What if?” It’s always what if? And then, How?
The craft industry encompasses goods that are handmade by artisans or those skilled in a particular trade. Creative thinkers and makers provide us with joy, interaction and inspiration.
Who doesn’t like a relaxing spa day? These days we could all use it, so fill up your tub with your favorite bath salts, light a candle, bring a good book, and enjoy.
I am asked often what inspires my work. My mother was a painter and photographer and when I was a child, she and I spent time in many creative projects together.
Summer is synonymous with sun, beaches, vacations, flowers, long days and warm nights. In these unsettling times how do you find the joy and beauty in summer?
Janet Pitcher of Petal Pushers added this line of artisan cloth masks that match her floral jewelry. Just one of our artists stepping up, making a difference, and being apart of the solution.
We are excited for our second Virtual Expo, September 9-15, 2020. This is a week long event where participating artists will offer incentives and IndieMe will be hosting daily buyer giveaways.
Artisan Foods: a collection of gourmet and craft style foods made by non-industrialized methods, some handed down through generations. Soon to be available on IndieMe!
We are inspired everyday by our artists and buyers, so we want to share their creativity to inspire you too! IndieMe is the only 100% handcrafted, Made in the USA and Canada wholesale platform.
