Textures Handmade Market

Check it out!  Textures artist Purpose ReDesign Studio was featured in Design*Sponge today!  The featured NY Times bench already sold, but the wine rack is currently in Textures!  Come in to the store and check out the other pieces Purpose ReDesign Studio has re-created.

We held our very first Open Craft night tonight at Textures. It was a huge success!! Cupcakes + Coffee + wine + friendly faces + crafting supplies = tons of fun. Here are a few photos so you can see for yourself…

Several Textures artists (Janae Easton- Platypus File, Maggie Willman- Handmade Maggie, and Holly Holloway- The Governor’s Daughter) were featured in the ‘Local Color’ section of Tallahassee Magazine this month!  Check it out!

“Flight of Fancy” Funky and modern with a touch of vintage, this hand-stitched bird pillow by Janae Easton will enliven even the most austere decor.  $32, Textures Handmade Market, 850.765.0378

“Get It All In” Who would think of re-purposing old ledgers, maps, and receipts into journaling pages?  Handmade Maggie, that’s who.  This hand-sewn journal has pages to fill and artifacts to ponder making it the perfect food for thought. $26, Textures Handmade Market, 850.765.0378

“Sight for Sore Eyes” This handmade necklace by The Governor’s Daughter is a one-of-a-kind original.  Transparent blue, terra cotta, cerulean and natural stone beads ensure this will be a perfect match.  $80, Textures Handmade Market, 850.765.0378

Our logo was recently featured on a fantastic blog – 100 Layer Cake!  Also, check out Pica Press- our friend Susanne owns it.  She is the creative genius behind all of these wonderful letterpress invitations and stationary….

So… as you may or may not know, we are moving locations. We are super excited about all of the new and exciting opportunities that we will have in our new space.  We are always looking for new artists to be a part of the Textures community, especially now that we are moving. If you are an artist or you know of an artist who might be interested in selling their wares through Textures, now is the time to apply. We have a spiffy new electronic application , so it’s super easy to submit your info.

As of now it looks like we will be opening on July 1st with a Grand Opening to follow soon there after.

Keep an eye out for Workshop info….. COMING SOON!!

Spread the word… Tell all of your friends and family about Textures.

We have some really BIG, exciting news…. Textures Handmade Market is moving to Midtown in Tallahassee. We loved every moment of the time we spent in the All Saints District and are sad to leave all of our friends and neighbors, however, we are super excited for this big move. The opportunity came a knockin’ and we couldn’t resist!! We will soon be located at 1123 Thomasville Road along with Lucy and Leo’s Cupcakery, who sell the most fantastic cupcakes you’ve ever tasted!! My personal favorite is the Red Velvet Cupcake, although I haven’t tasted a bad one yet.

Our plan is to be in the new shop by the beginning of July, so keep an eye out for updates and sales along the way. You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and if you aren’t already, you should get on our e-mail list. There will be a lot of good information coming your way.

Over the past year and a half, we have had many people interested in taking classes such as sewing, book making, collage, etc. In the new space we are finally going to be able to make that possible!!! We are super pumped about this opportunity. We want to share our knowledge with you and promote creativity all at the same time. So, pull out your crafty pants and get excited about making things with your hands… The Craft Revival is coming your way!! We will have information and a calendar of workshops coming soon!!

Every body together…. Hip Hip Hooraaaaaaay!!!

Tonight is First Friday here in Tallahassee. If you are in town, I hope that I will see you out soaking up all the amazing art that Tallahassee has to offer. We will be open today from 11am- 10pm… Stop by and say hello. Mothers Day is just around the corner, so you aren’t going to want to miss out on all of the amazing hand-crafted items that we have to offer. Your momma will be so excited!!

Just to wet your whistle, here are a few items we have in the shop right now….

So… I just stumbled upon this fantastic video of Mo Rocca, who is a regular panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and a regular contributor to CBS’ Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood, talking about handmade goods and ETSY.
You must watch this….

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are not going to be at The Tallahassee Festival of Books today like we were supposed to be. We had a minor change of plans.
