Inspiration Monday: Pumpkin!

Happy Monday everyone!  For this Inspiration Monday, we are inspired by the smells and tastes of the Fall that seem to be showing it's face around Denver lately!  We particularly are excited about the abundance of Pumpkin that just always seems to hit the spot.  Pumpkin Lattes, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Seeds, Jack-O-Lanterns, the list can go on and on.  All together, we are just excited about Pumpkin season and thought we'd share some of our Featured Vendor's pumpkin-esque items!  Enjoy!

Biz Tuesday

We thought we’d use this Biz Tuesday spot to give you an update on our 2011 market application process and sponsorship information for all of you vendors and possible sponsors out there.

We’ve gotten an amazing response from folks applying to all of our markets! To be honest, we are running out of room in all of our markets so you should apply soon if you want to join in the fun! Don’t forget that we have discount booth prices until February 14th!

We are a juried market and we jury on a rolling basis. If you’ve already applied, you will find out if you are accepted around March 1st. We may be sending out emails sooner than that, so if you’ve applied, please look for an email from horseshoemarket@gmail.com in the coming weeks. Please check your Spam folders and make sure horseshoemarket@gmail.com is on your “safe senders” list!

Here are a few FAQ’s that we’ve been getting. Please let us know your other questions in the comments below!

What does juried mean?
We are looking for high quality, unique, handmade and handpicked goods. If you are an art or craft vendor, your art or craft must be handmade by you. Items are juried in terms of their quality, creativity, craftsmanship, and professionalism. If you haven’t done a market yet, that is okay, too! We can tell a lot by your website, your Etsy shop and your pictures. Make sure that there are photos of all the items you will be selling.

In terms of vintage, we are looking for high quality, unique vintage products. We are looking for furniture dealers, vintage art and craft, accessories, clothing, among other vintage finds. If you are a vintage vendor and you don’t have a website, you will still need to attach pictures to your application. Just take a few pictures of the kind of stuff you collect and attach them to the application. It’s that simple!

If I apply to all three markets, will I get in to all three?
We encourage you to apply to as many markets as you’d like, and we’ll do our best to get you in. However, you may not get into every single one for which you apply, but this is mostly true for jewelry vendors. We get lots and lots of jewelry applications--so many that we have to start a waiting list. We so want to include everyone, but space and type of vendor may inhibit us from doing so. Thank you for understanding!

Can my business be a sponsor for the markets?
Yes! We are currently seeking sponsors for all of our markets. We have one Premier sponsorship available, and three Market sponsorships available (please email horseshoemarket@gmail.com for info). We also have a few seasonal sponsors and blog sponsorships. We market heavily, have a really great online (over 12,000 unique page views to our website!) and “live” audience (3000-5000 customers per market!), and your marketing dollars will be well spent. Please contact Amy at HorseshoeMarket@gmail.com for more information!

Inspiration Monday: Sundance

We're back from a weekend away at Sundance in Utah. It was gorgeous. And we felt really lucky to be there for a special wedding and to soak up the beauty. We were inspired by the leaves changing colors (Fall is our favorite season by far...), the mountains, the rustic, cozy cabins and the totally organic feel about the whole place. We were hoping to hang out with Robert Redford but it just didn't happen this time. Maybe next time :)

Happy Monday to you all! We're less than three weeks away from the Horseshoe Craft and Flea! Check out the Sundance-inspired board below from some Horseshoe vendors and a few local Colorado artists.

Inspiration Monday

Ah, Labor Day! A long weekend. Lovely weather, no work, and right now it's so very calm and quiet. And historically in the U.S., Labor Day is the last day you're supposed to be able to wear white. Though we don't necessarily go by that "rule," we thought we'd honor white today! Below are mostly local artists and collectors, and many Horseshoe vendors!
We're getting very close to Market day--less than a month away. Don't forget to spread the word to your friends, Facebook friends, colleagues and family. With 90 art, craft, and vintage/antique vendors, everyone is bound to take home some pretty amazing, lucky finds!
Enjoy your day off :)
