Waynesville Street Fair July 17, 2021

Hi to all of our supporters. It was an adventure on Saturday July 17, at the Waynesville Street Faire.  If you haven’t already read any of our blogs, here is a little background history about the street faire.

 Waynesville Street Faire is held once a month on a Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, June through September. The  Waynesville Street Faire features 40 Art and Vintage/Antique vendors who are setting up in the street to bring, share and talk about the joy of what they artistically create. The Waynesville Street Faire is sponsored by The Waynesville Shops. The  Waynesville Street Faire will have booths with crafts, quilts, pottery, textiles, art and handcrafted jewelry all created by the talented people in our neighboring communities. In addition to the vendors, Waynesville is home to the most wonderful and amazing gifts and antiques. The shops will be open and they hope to see you and your family! Eat – Shop – Enjoy while walking around this quaint town on Main Street in Waynesville,Ohio.

. We stuck with the current layout with a few things added. We are bringing belts, purses, wallets, cord keepers, growler carriers, wine bottle carriers, bracelets and a few journals. We got all our products into one large bin but still needed two vehicles for the setup. We’re still searching for a 15 passenger van to put everything in it.  We started a Ko-fi Page! Ko-fi helps creators get support from fans of our work. Please support or follow our page! https://ko-fi.com/dragoncatleather . We set up a goal of $5000 to buy a van.

Setup for the market will be at 7:15 am. The setup was an adventure because of the rain, wind, and last minute changes to booth movement . It ended up being a beautiful day for the market. It got a little hotter at the close of the market.  Everyone was excited to be out and enjoying the market. There were about 30 vendors at the market. It was a good mix of vendors featuring fresh local vegetables, tea, arts, and crafts. A few highlights, we met the owner of a trio of dogs, she wanted a custom made dog collar for them . We met some talented artists working with different mediums. Also, we had live music by some wonderful bands. 

We will be back at it again on July 23, 2021 at the Cincinnati Celtic Festival from 5pm to 11pm on Friday, 12 pm to 11pm (Saturday), and 12 pm to 7pm(Sunday).   

 If you are one of the many folks that asked about custom orders, please fill out the form on the contact us page. Also, if you saw something in our booth not listed on the website, please fill out the form on the contact page. Thanks again for coming out and seeing us.

Springfield Farmer’s Market June 5, 2021

Hi to all of our supporters. It has been a year and half since our last show. Our first show of the year was at The Springfield Farmers Market. Here is a little background history about it.

Springfield Farmers Market is held every Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, June through September. The Springfield Farmers Market is held adjacent to the Heritage center on North Market Place in Springfield, Ohio. It features dozens of local vendors featuring fresh, local vegetables, meats, dairy products, baked goods, arts and crafts. Also, COhatch Springfield is open with 5 restaurants and two bars located inside the old Myer’s Market .

The day before, we did a dry run of setting up our booth. We went very simple. We decided on bringing belts, purses, wallets, cord keepers, growler carriers, wine bottle carriers, bracelets and a few journals. We got all our products into one large bin but still needed two vehicles for the setup. We’re still searching for a 15 passenger van to put everything in it.  We started a Ko-fi Page! Ko-fi helps creators get support from fans of our work. Please support or follow our page! https://ko-fi.com/dragoncatleather . We set up a goal of $5000 to buy a van.

Setup for the market started at 7:30 am. We arrived around 8 am. Setup was a breeze for us. It was a beautiful day for the market. There was the right amount of breeze and sunshine. Everyone was excited to be out and enjoying the market. There were about 30 vendors at the market. It was a good mix of vendors featuring fresh, local vegetables, meats, dairy products, baked goods, arts and crafts.A couple of highlights, we met Jeb Pencil, a bison farmer  and owner of Pencil Bison Ranch  that wanted us to leather work with bison’s hides. Also,  it was good to see Justin from Sleepy Panda Forge and Leather. The last time we saw him and his wife was at BrewDog DogTap Columbus.

We will be back at it again on Saturday June 12 from 9am to 12:30pm. Come out and visit us.

DogTap Exchange February 10, 2019

Founded in 2007, BrewDog started in Scotland with a mission to revolutionize beer drinking. In 2015, BrewDog brought their revolution to the United States and landed in Columbus, Ohio. Since 2015, it has expanded to a bar in the Short North and Franklinton. Dog Tap just opened a hotel at the brewery and dogs are allowed to stay here. The Dog Tap Exchange started about a year ago. The Exchange features local made products and artists.

We have done all but 1 of the Exchanges. This is my favorite place. One main reason is puppies are allowed in the building and patio. The Exchange was held in the lobby of Dog Tap but moved to the museum part of the building. This gave the people more time to look at the artists and vendors. This was first show with a condensed version of our 10 x 10 spot.  The crowds were steady all day even with the snow. We are looking forward to the next Exchange.

If you are one of the many folks that asked about custom orders, please fill out the form on the contact us page.

Weekly Update February 18, 2019

We have confirmation for two upcoming events, The Magical Market and The Viking Fest. The Magical Market is a first year event that will feature fantastical items from magical and intergalactic realms, superheroes and villains, or otherworldly creatures such as elves, fairies, wizards, gnomes, etc. The Magical Market is being held at Goshen High School in Goshen, Ohio. The Viking Fest is an annual festival in Whitestown, Indiana. The second year event will have the Vikings invading Whitestown once again for a fun and educational festival including a Viking Village, fight reenactments, live music, and more. The Viking Fest is being held at Anson Acres in Whitestown, Indiana.

Our schedule of events will be slowly filling up the calendar, once we get more acceptance letters. This week, we took time to increase stock levels on bracelets, journals and low on hand products. Azure made embossed bracelets with a new color scheme. She is also tooling more journals for the upcoming year. She put some final touches on a custom coin purse that will be sent out this week. Captain did a bunch of dragon scale bracelets. The dye job on the bracelets is one of a kind. He mixed dyes to achieve the unique custom color for this project.

Kings Islands WinterFest 2018

Following a twelve year absence, Winterfest returned in 2017. The annual Christmas themed event starts on the fourth Friday (Black Friday) in November for selected dates until the New Year. The first year the Artisan Village was located underneath the Eiffel Tower. This year, the village was move to accommodate the igloo rentals underneath the Eiffel Tower. There are many things to do at Winterfest including ice skating, watching shows, riding select roller coasters, decorating cookies with Mrs. Claus, riding in horse driven carriages and shopping at Artisan Village. The most important things to do other than shop at Artisan Village, is buying a $10 hot cocoa mug, the first night are free refills. On return visits, refills are discounted with returned hot cocoa mugs. We have done both years of Winterfest. The booths at Artisan Village are a 7 by 9 shed with a heater. This year, we had some items to bring including sleigh bells, Ohio state bells, bracers, growler/howler carriers, and cup sleeves. We had the Holly Jolly Trolley perform twice a night in front of our shed. And you can’t forget the Christmas Techno House. It was an enjoyable festival since its Ohio; expect the weather to be crazy.  If you are one of the many folks that asked about custom orders, please fill out the form on the contact us page.
