THE HOLIDAY MARKET VENDOR SPOTLIGHT: BLY DESIGNS

Posted by | vendor spotlight | No Comments

Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Holiday Market on November 16, 2013 at The Fillmore Charlotte.

Please welcome Katie from BlyDesign:

With a background in classical piano, I have always had an artistic, creative spirit. I discovered my passion for jewelry design after coming across some old, chandelier crystals in my late Grandmother’s house. I was struck by the beauty of each crystal and yearned to create a necklace that would keep one of the crystals close to my heart.

BlyDesign

Over the years, I began refining my techniques in metal work and was overwhelmed by the response to my designs from my friends and family. I decided to launch Blydesign in 2009 as a way to make my pieces accessible to my fans.

BlyDesign

Each piece of jewelry is carefully, handcrafted and distributed by myself in my hometown studio located in Charlotte, NC. Some of my favorite materials to work with are resin, brass, and leather.

The Summer Market Vendor Spotlight: Sweet Southern Purl

Our vendor spotlight posts give you a chance to meet some of our amazing vendors before the Vintage Charlotte Summer Market on June 29th, 2013 at The Fillmore Charlotte.
Please welcome Martha from Sweet Southern Purl:

It’s inevitable when you’re pregnant. Most people compulsively clean…getting ready for the upcoming baby.  

Not me.  

Nope…I decided at 6 months pregnant to teach myself to knit.  I had dabbled in crocheting.  I knew a few stitches but couldn’t follow a pattern to save my life.  Regardless…I figure, I got this.  So I dig out some ridiculously huge knitting needles I somehow had, google “how to cast on”, and three hours later (after then googling “how to cast on for children”), I had done it.  I then googled knitting stitches and practiced as many as I could.  After that I was ready to tackle my first project.  

Now most people would have started with something simple…maybe a scarf.  What do I decide to start with…a baby sweater.  It took me probably two weeks and a lot of advice on knitting forums…but I finished.  It was full of mistakes, and the sleeves are crazy long, but it was my first piece…and I’m keeping it.  Forever.

The rest is pretty much history.  After a couple more projects people were asking me to open an etsy shop.  I hesitated because who opens a knitting shop after teaching themselves how to knit the month before?  I caved around Halloween of last year…and less than a month later I had a 30 order backlog.  I even knit in labor.  It’s been a challenge knitting with a 2 year old and a baby, but I’ve found my groove.  I love finding new things to create, and I’m beyond excited to be a first time vendor at Vintage Charlotte.
