  Handmade Goods And Waterfront Charm Highlight Leonardtown’s Coastal Arts Market by   Jose Ferreira May 13, 2025 LEONARDTOWN, Md.  — Sunshine, waterfront views, and one-of-a-kind local goods set the scene at the Coastal Arts Market on May 10, where visitors strolled the Leonardtown Wharf browsing hand-crafted art, jewelry, and treats for both people and pups. Nestled along Breton Bay, the seasonal market offered more than shopping — it invited guests to enjoy a relaxing morning outdoors, complete with picnics in the park, sweet scoops from Frog Town Ice Cream, and easy access to lunch in Leonardtown Square. “People drove through, threw the dust on their face, and then drove back through and bought nothing,” said Joyce, a longtime organizer of the Coastal Art Market, recalling the market’s first setup at the Port of Leonardtown Winery. The sun wasn’t the only thing radiating on a beautiful Saturday morning at the Coastal Art Market. There was also the warmth of local vend...

Suds and Sandals at Coastal Arts Market

Hi, my name is Dottie; I am the owner of “Suds and Sandals”. I’ve been doing crafts since I was in my  early 20s when a friend taught me how to crochet. Well, that was the start of it all. Since then I have taught myself to knit and have taught myself many crochet stitches and learned how to read patterns. I also sew and have made all my grandkids their costume when they were little. I started making jewelry and that’s what started me in the craft shows. I’ve painted ceramics, quilling, and other various crafts. When I retired from Target I started doing craft shows. At my first craft show I sold for $8.45. That was so disappointing. But I didn’t let that sway me. I really wanted to sell my stuff. My husband started making soaps and joined me at the shows. Today I make soaps, lotions, lip balms, facial cleansers, etc. I make flea and tick spray and bug off for mosquitos. I make various ornaments and love the challenge it brings to come up with new projects. I love ma...
