The buzz about town during SNAP! the Conference April 19-21, in Salt Lake City, is bound to be our latest addition – Queen Bee Market!
We are excited to partner with one of the nation’s premiere handmade markets. Forget dimly lit and cramped. The hallmark of Queen Bee is the number of incredibly amazing, dramatically done vendor booths.
Queen Bee Market at SNAP!, is set to showcase the very best in modern handmade, carefully selected just for you. Get ready to shop an incredible inventory of items – from jewelry and home goods to a variety of other one of a kind treasures.
Vendors selected for Queen Bee Market at SNAP! will be chosen via a juried application process that will begin this winter. The market will be open to the public. Follow Queen Bee and SNAP! for more information.
Queen Bee Market is the brain child of Mique Provost and Jessica Erickson – two sisters with an eye for both beauty and business. Both Mique and Jess live in California, where the original market was held.
Mark your calendars for the next Queen Bee Market will take place Saturday, August 6, in sunny San Diego. For more information on the coming event, visit Queen Bee Market.
To celebrate this exciting announcement, Jess has generously offered a $50
gift certificate for one lucky winner to spend in her shop – Allora Handmade!
The shop features Jess’ well-known statement necklaces along with earrings, headbands and bracelets.

I love the “blossom” necklaces by Funky Vintage Lovely…so would like FVL to be there
MaryBeth,
Wow. We love April’s work…a couple of us are eying her Keep Calm pieces she makes. And, did you see those fantastic pillows she had at the last Queen Bee Market? To die for!
xoxo
You girls are too sweet! I’m blushing and begging hubby to make the drive with the FVL trailer. There’s no surf in Utah so it’s a little bit harder to win him over!!
Can we set him up with climbing gear? Water skiing? What do we have to bribe him with?
actually there will probably still be snow….so snowboarding will do the trick!!
OMG, especially if it is as cold next year as it has been this year…Maybe we can work out a special deal for him 🙂

I mean I would love to be featured {prideful comment} but I would like to see The Pleated Poppy.
xo
We’re really excited that Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy left a note in the comments letting us know she would be in attendance…It’s great to have established shops like her in attendance. However, it also VERY important to have newer shops. I hope you’re shop is ready to apply when it’s time.
Thanks for entering!

Hi there! 🙂 So I am quite new to the Blog World and all of this, so I am not quite sure if my comment is correct (even though I did read this entry and its’ links!), but my good friend from Graduate School has been running an Etsy Shop called, “Along For the Ride.” She really loves creating jewelry pieces – something she has been doing since she was quite young – and I am sure that she would love to be involved in something like the Queen Bee Market if she could (she does not live in the area though and has a very demanding job)! I just wanted to give her a shout-out though! 🙂
Alexa,
You’re perfect. One thing you will learn while coming into contact with our fab community is there is never one “right” way to do things. Everything about the internet is so fluid and ever changing…
We will definitely check out your friends shop. I think it is sooo sweet that you thought to share her story and give her a little shout out!
Thanks for entering. Good luck to you!

I would love to see Creme de la Gems there. I was drooling over all the amazing clay goodies she made for the Queen Bee a few weeks ago. I also adore Cinnamonsticks. I know they are both in California, but if they agree to come I will promise them at least one sale. 🙂
Oh Jennifer, we think the would get more than one sale. LOL. What did you think of the great styling both shops had at the last QBM? Fantastic, right?
Thanks for entering. Good luck!
xoxo
I am sure they would get a LOT of sales, I hope they will consider making the trip. I don’t think I saw pictures of Canela’s booth, but Tracy’s was unbelievable. I am not surprised at all that she won the best booth award.
Right? Talk about creativity…what great ideas! Canela’s booth had bundles of cinnamon sticks….
The fantastic booths really are sooo unique to QBM. It seems like so many HM markets are a jumble. We are very excited!

i loooove snap on the book of faces. which i hate. i really just don’t get it…drunk people, bathroom mirror pics, farms…it’s too much.
me and the queenies of all bees go way back. we’ve been twitter bff’s for ages now.

Idk what happened to my previous comment but I love this!
Oh my….there are so many great handmade shops, I hate to choose one, but I will….Funky Vintage Kitchen. It is a new one that I have recently found. But, seriously….if I won I would use it to get the moss green necklace…because…. drum roll, I have a blind date in less than two weeks (my best friend from college playing matchmaker, which I’m completely okay with). Yep, can’t believe I just admitted that either. {snort} I guess posting my faves on my blog worked. {wink, wink}. Now….what outfit would I wear with it?
