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 making all different kinds of crafts. If it can be done I’ll give it a try.

Where We Are Located and Market Dates

   The Coastal Arts Market is located at the beautiful Leonardtown Wharf  Park                 22500 Washington Street, Leonardtown, Maryland 20650 Local artisans come together one Saturday a month starting in April through June and  again in September through November to sell their hand-crafted items at this open-air market. All items sold must be handcrafted by the seller. This allows you the customer to meet the artist or maker and will enable you to find out about the process that's used in making the items and you can place custom orders for goods. This helps these artists and crafters to build a small cottage business that they can build on and expand in the future.  Remember shopping locally keeps your money in your community where it can do the most good. Buying American-made products is always a good thing. Watch the video and check the dates below.                 ...
