Today! Great Day for Lakeland's Artisan Market!

Today is the day that the Artisan Market is open! Every quarter these markets are held in Lakeland, FL with some of the Lakeland area's most creative artisans. The Florida weather is fabulous - cool, sunny, slight breeze, and no humidity - a perfect day to get over to the Artisan Market held by Yia Yia's Beads. The photos are representative of some artist's work that you will find there.

Local artists are displaying original art, pottery, paintings, jewelry, glass art and much more. Come out and meet Yia Yia's new neighbor, Red Door Wine Market and enjoy a glass of wine, beer or coffee!

Scoot! Don't delay! It is refreshing to see such creativity all in one place. I guarantee that you will find something you love. Owning something handmade is special because it is meaningful. Each piece is made with great care and an abundance of artisan creativity.

And, be sure to support your own local artisan community through your blogs, forums, and your attendance!
