The gingerbread marketplace with a touch of balloons!

This past weekend Designs by Essence had the opportunity to partake in the annual Gingerbread Marketplace! This was their 6th year and it was truly amazing!

We also had the pleasure of listening to some lovely Christmas Carols as patrons shopped.

Teri, the singer, was absolutely amazing! While she and I were chatting, the subject of my normal helper not wanting to come, came up. Well during one of her breaks from singing, she walked up with a stack full of business cards. I hate that I didn't get to get out into the arena and mingle, but I am very grateful to be able to pass on some businesses that were on site. Most of the items that were on sale were Christmas related, but I'm sure most of the vendors have year round products that you can select from.

Again, I hope you enjoyed the different vendors and good luck finding some lovely items.
