Hi – i am just trying to sprad the word about a new festival in central KY. Don’t know if you’re interested or could help get teh message out – but thought i’d check. Our first festival was last fall and we had a great turn out for a first time event. You can see some of the arts & crafts on the “artisans” page – several women are Etsy folk as well. Thanks for your time!

The festival sounds like a great idea. What’s the deadline to participate?

I am from Somerset, and as most folks know there is little shopping here. I am looking for classes for a Singer Futuro CE-100 Embroidery and sewing machine. I have found none locally. I have found knitting and crocheting classes with the Extension office on Thursday. If you know of or have heard of any classes please let me know. I have spent a lot of time trying to locate them, but not being from Lexington, it has been hard. Any help will be appreciated. Love this sight.

The Market is designed like the European markets featuring; flowers, local food, jewelry, vintage clothing, home decor and more.
We are still seeking vendors! The Market is located at Lorillard Lofts right past the Lexington Cemetery.
Hope you can help get the word out so everyone can enjoy this new market and most importantly support current and future businesses by women.
