This week, Emily and Michelle attend Renegade Craft Fair’s flagship summer event in Chicago which prompts ranting about one of their favorite topics: Shopping Local!  They share their purchases from the show (which means LOTS of shout-outs!) and remind fellow small business owners that they shouldn’t expect their customers to shop small and local if they aren’t also making it a priority themselves.  

There are a ton of great opportunities to get out and support local in the week ahead. Market Mafia is your resource for supporting the maker movement in Greater Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Miami. This week we're chatting about temperatures rising in Florida, and markets shutting down for summer. For makers and market goers, this could be the perfect time to take your passion for local and get out of town. We suggest you check out some national, traveling markets! City hop with the makers and check out a large scale event from groups like: Markets for Makers, Renegade Craft Fair or Unique Markets. Markets for Makers originated in Tampa Bay, Renegade can be found in over 12 cities across the country as well as London, and Unique Markets recently became a franchise!

This week, Michelle and Emily attend the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago and make it all the way through in record time: 4 hours!  After shopping, talking to vendors, and making notes, they sit down at Picante Taqueria for lunch.  They discuss just a few of their favorite vendors, what made certain booths more successful than others (spoiler alert: it’s signage and color), and - most importantly - share what purchases they made at the show!

In this week's episode, Emily fills Michelle in on her shopping experience at latest Renegade Craft Fair here in Chicago (while trying not to be a super judgy person who also runs a show!) - This inevitably leads to a long conversation about other shows, including a lot of behind-the-scenes talk about Show of Hands, admiring (and admonishing) other people's booth displays, and the importance of good signage and packaging.  They wrap up by teasing their next episode topic: alternative resources to ULINE!  

On today's show, Dorothy speaks with Meredith Piper of Greenville, South Carolina about her artwork, studio practices, and art shows around the southeast.  Meredith works in oil, acrylic, soft pastels, and creates her beautiful wooden framed encased weavings.  Listen along as Meredith describes her studio in Downtown Greenville and all about how to juggle a retail space while painting.  Meredith also clues us into how she creates a painting at a live event.  Dorothy found another bestie!  The two artists have too many things in common to count!  And those things were just discovered with this first conversation that was recorded! "Being one of the earlier (pieces of art)...I feel like that always takes longer because you don't know what you're doing, you're just exploring, which is awesome but those are some of the most beautiful sweet moments...that exploration of the unknown if you have not done it before, you have no idea what's going to happen or how it's going to turn out.  Those are some of the best memories as well that I cherish."  - Meredith Piper    See more of Meredith's work: https://www.meredithpiper.com/ www.instagram.com/meredithpiperart Follow along with Positively Creative: www.positivelycreative.net www.instagram.com/positivelycreativepodcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/positivelycreativepodcast/ On Today's Show: (3:00) On having a studio with foot traffic, different types of buyers, and the layout of the studio shops in Downtown Greenville, SC (9:30) Her studio neighbor, Larry Seymour (11:30) Meredith & Dorothy both double majored in Psychology and Art!

Dorothy chats with Mary Claire White of Falling Into Place in Memphis, TN.  She’s been making candles since she was in the womb (no really...her mom started making candles while she was pregnant with Mary Claire!)  She shares how Etsy Open Call launched her wholesale candle business and how she successfully opened the Falling Into Place gift shop on Broad Avenue, making it profitable after year one.  Mary Claire discusses how she says and writes down what she wants to happen for the Universe to hear her dreams.  They talk about how she doesn’t let anything sit, which contributes to her success.   “You always want to have that feeling of everything is just falling into place.  But everything doesn’t just fall into place! It falls into place or it appears to fall into place because you’ve worked your butt off.”  - Mary Claire White   See more of Falling Into Place: http://www.fallingintoplace.net/ https://www.facebook.com/fallingintoplaceshop https://www.instagram.com/fallingintoplaceshop/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/FIPcandles https://www.etsy.com/shop/FIPdisplays   Follow along and join the Positively Creative Community: www.positivelycreative.net www.instagram.com/positivelycreativepodcast www.facebook.com/groups/positivelycreativepodcast On Today’s Show:   (6:00) Cooper Young Festival (Memphis, TN) & Germantown Festival (Germantown, TN) (7:00) Double Decker (Oxford, MS) & Franklin Main Street Festival (Franklin, TN) (10:00) On teaching elementary school (17:00) Memshop (17:00) Putting what you want out into the Universe in language and writing (18:00) On planning and budgeting when opening a shop (20:00) On researching for the shop in California (24:00) City & State (24:00) On designing the shop (26:00) Elyse Wigen of Prim Society (27:00) Small retailers need makers as employees (30:00) Redesigning the candle line (31:00) Indie Holiday Market (32:00) Etsy Open Call & Etsy Wholesale (38:00) On hiring employees for the shop and their roles within the shop (42:00) Renegade Craft Fair (43:00) On the importance of photography for makers (44:00) Annabella Charles Photography (46:00) On how to attend a show states away and shipping via freight (46:30) Falling Into Place Displays at craft shows (48:00) How the shop got its name (51:00) The Falling Into Place candle line (52:30) Lionheart collaboration zodiac card/candle line (59:00) On not letting anything sit (1:00:00) Making a map for Broad Avenue (1:04:00) Falling Into Place Workshops
