✨ VENDOR FEATURE: LAURA 👜💕✨

I’m Laura, and I’m so happy to be here sharing a little piece of what I love with all of you.

I’m married, a mom of four, and a very proud grandmother of four grandchildren, all of whom live in Belmont. Family is a huge part of my life, and when I’m not spending time with them, you’ll usually find me creating something!

I’m a retired self-employed entrepreneur. I owned a very successful gift basket shoppe years ago, and later owned and operated a convenience store for 19 years. So, I guess you could say that creating, selling, and connecting with people has always been in my blood!

Today, I’ve found a new creative passion in embellishing vintage and unique purses, wallets, and crossbody bags. I love taking something beautiful and giving it a little extra personality with vintage pieces, jewelry, stones, pearls, buttons, and anything else that catches my eye.

I don’t believe in making every bag look the same. Each one is meant to be unique—just like the woman who carries it. I love the idea of taking something someone may have overlooked and turning it into a one-of-a-kind treasure.

And when I’m not creating, I love sports, being outdoors, and spending time with my family.

I’m excited to meet all of you, share my creations, and hopefully help you find that special bag that says, “This one is ME!” 💕👜✨

Thank you for letting me be part of your vintage and antique community!

📅 Thursday–Saturday, October 22–24
📍Cleveland County Fairgrounds | Shelby, NC
⏰ 8 AM–5 PM

Come out, shop, and meet Laura and all our amazing vendors! 🛍️❤️

🍿🍋 VENDOR FEATURE: South Mountain Kettle Pop & Lemonade Co.! 🍋🍿

Meet this locally deaf-owned small business from Morganton, NC! They’re serving up fresh-popped kettle corn, sweet caramel corn, and fresh-squeezed lemonade made one cup at a time with real lemons!

What started as a love for making great kettle corn has grown into something even sweeter, and we can’t wait for y’all to try it! 😍

Be sure to stop by their booth at the Catawba Pickers Show for the perfect sweet-and-refreshing treat while you shop! 🛍️✨
