     The Ivy Market returns next week, October 9th and 10th, at the University of Richmond’s Jepson Alumni Center.

     It looks like a couple of new vendors have been added to the line-up of unique boutiques.  Collard Greens is an eco-friendly but preppy mostly men’s clothing line.

I wonder if anyone on my shopping list would love this pig bowtie as much as I do?

     Lindsay Cowles is one of my favorite local artists.

A St. Catherine’s graduate, Lindsay is always such a delight to talk to whenever I see her showing her captivating work.   Dubbed a “Design Genius” by popular design blog Sadie + Stella, Lindsay and her nature-inspired oils will be a wonderful addition to The Ivy Market.

     I am also looking forward to seeing some of my favorite vendors’ latest offerings.

Lori Daniel Rowland‘s new wrap bracelets with rhinestone button closures look fabulous.  The Ivy Market is definitely the place to update your look with some new accessories.

     With donations being accepted at the door for ASK, The Ivy Market provides the perfect combination:  great shopping for an even greater cause.  Make plans to put on your cute shoes, and get your holiday shopping started next Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Ivy Market Returns: Get Your Shopping List Ready

The Fall 2012 edition of The Ivy Market opens today (Tuesday, September 27) with a Girls’ Night Out from 5-9 p.m. and runs through tomorrow from 9-4 at the University of Richmond‘s beautiful Jepson Alumni Center.  I am such an Avad Fan of this upscale shopping bazaar that only happens twice a year.  Started by my friend, Andrea Whitaker, proceeds from this event benefit the The Tad DuPriest Foundation and ASK, two local organizations helping to improve the lives of children battling cancer.

You may recall from this post that the Spring 2012 edition of The Ivy Market featured blogceleb stylist, Eddie Ross, and his partner, Jaithan.  I was absolutely delighted to meet these truly gentlemen and treasure these 1940s lace-edged milk glass dishes

that I purchased from their pop-up shop at The Ivy Market.  I couldn’t have been more tickled when Eddie linked to his Facebook page my Flower Camp Frolic post which featured floral arrangements that I created in these dishes and then friended me.  His kind gestures have been one of the highlights of writing this blog.

I haven’t heard of any celebrities attending this week’s Ivy Market, but you can expect to find a carefully chosen array of amazing vendors from the Richmond area, as well as up and down the East Coast.  Lori Daniel Rowland will, as always, be there

with her fabulous jewelry designs,

and Periwinkle South (formerly owned by Andrea) will have a great selection of Scout bags, plus many other goodies and gifties.

     With lots of fall birthdays to celebrate and Christmas less than three months away, I am pulling my shopping list together.  I can’t wait to put a dent in it (and maybe find a little treat for myself as well).  Hope I’ll bump into you at The Ivy Market!
