Whatever happened to bartering?! The Fae still do it all the time!Come one, come all to the Fairy Barter Market, a magical event where you can trade old trinkets for new treasures! It's a potluck of arts and crafts, so bring anything that no longer serves you so that someone else can enjoy it!
Bring your art, handmade wares, thrifted trinkets, antiques, decor items, craft supplies and more to trade with each other and vendors at the market. This is a time to celebrate each other's creativity with the art of trade (there will also be SOME options to purchase things from these vendors you don't have anything for trade, but keep in mind that this is a trade event and no money exchange is preferred).
This is a completely free event with no money exchange among the vendors, but the business will be open for you to enjoy!
🍄Barter Market Rules🍄
Bartering is the main focus so bring things you're comfortable trading away, try not to bring more than what fills a (4"x6") table (you may have to split a 6ft table this time around), vendors should tell all their friends to come by and bring something to trade too!
How much should I bring?
About a basket/milk crate worth of stuff is generally enough.
🍄What should I bring?🍄
People generally bring small art pieces, trinkets, jewelry, small vintage items, interesting mugs/teacups, craft supplies, metaphysical supplies, tarot decks, books, retro toys, fantasy art, clothing/costume accessories, small pottery pieces, handmade items, crystals, plant cuttings, candles, crochet, incense, trading cards/small board games, etc.
Please do not bring...
- Baked goods or prepared food items for trade.
- Things that should probably go in the trash.
- Extremely used items (ie candles with limited life left, etc)
🍄Do I have to trade?🍄
If someone is offering you something that you do not value the same as the item they would like from you, YOU CAN SAY NO! Be reasonable when you offer someone a trade, a bucket of plastic toys does not hold the same value as a crocheted hat. Use you best judgement when trading and if you aren't sure what to trade, ask the other person if they are interested in anything that you have.
🍄How can I reserve a space?🍄
WE ARE NO LONGER RESERVING SPACES - Table space is available on a first come-first-served basis. Please only take the allotted table amount that is taped off. All tables should be comfortable with trading all the items you bring!
🍄Do I need to have a spot to trade?🍄
No, you can come with your own things and setup when others leave a table or walk around with your items to trade with everyone there!
Seating and table space is limited, please bring your own chair/table as a backup if possible.
