Who can it be now...?

Here is your 1st clue to the Surprise Guest Seller for the September update! I swear if you all get this too fast I will just choke! But guess away as I will not confirm or deny (most likely) until the actual update when you will all find out together! Happy guessing!

Proof that we are everywhere!

Just walking down the beach this morning and look at what I saw!!!

Be sure to let me know where and when you see STJ sightings!!!

September new additions!!!

These three artists have been on the roster since early on but were unable to start due to previous commitments until September. So, now I can finally share these awesome artists with you all!
First, we have Kerry of Paper Moon Gallery!! Kerry is known for her needle felted wool dolls and her papier mache dolls. She has been featured in Art Doll Quarterly on numerous occasions and will be in the fall issues of Somerset Studios, Somerset Holidays (STJ ad is in this one!!) and Art Doll Quarterly (STJ Ad in this one in November!!)! Welcome!!!


Second, we have Sheila of Freckleberry! I have enjoyed seeing Sheila's treasures for sometime now and am tickled that she has joined STJ's! Her Santa's always bring a big smile to my face and I have found her Halloween pieces to be just as charming!



Finally, we have the always fun Cathy Nash! Her whimsical creations always leave me smiling and wishing I had thought of that!!



So, that rounds out our SpookyTime Jingles crew and brings us to the end. No more announcements planned or artists on the back burner. We do have a substantial wait list for when a spot opens up, which just amazes me. I do think we have something special here with STJ's and I am soo happy to share in it with all of you crazy talented artists!!

Surprise Guest Seller!!!

How fun is this!!! Each month we will have 1 surprise guest seller. I will give you vague clues to the artists identity and slowly reveal more and more info as we get closer to the update. Can't wait to see if anyone guesses right!!!


Clues on September's surprise guest, in a few days, so stay tuned!


Feel free to email me any suggestions or inquiries on how to become a guest seller on STJ!!

Customer Spotlight Series!

This is the first post of the customer spotlight series! We want to know our customers a little better just like the artist bios help our customers get to know us.

Our first customer, Candy comes from Long Island, New York. She has been an avid collector of Halloween and Christmas items for the past 20 years. Halloween items are displayed throughout the first floor of her home on tables, fire place mantel, every piece of furniture and on her walls. Candy concentrates her collecting on pumpkins, witches and some skeletal creations too. She says doesn’t like anything too “creepy and frightening” as she wants to feel joy when looking at her purchases. When asked what Halloween folk art she would absolutely not part with, Candy states, “ the creations from all my favorite artists”! It’s quite apparent that Candy loves Halloween so I asked her what her favorite childhood memory of Halloween was? It seems having the right costume and getting fabulously huge bags of candy and carving and lighting a jack o lantern made the best Halloween times for her.

Candy purchased items from the following SpookyTime Jingles artists:

Ambitions Design,
Huckleberry Arts,
Blur.Baby,
Ginny Diezel Studios,
Crowing About Primitives
The Smiling Goat
The Polka Dot Pixie

What drew her to these artist’s creations? That’s simple! She states, “just were things I loved the look of and wanted as part of my Halloween or Christmas collection”. Candy believes that folk art is great if it is one of a kind, handmade well and is sewn and created with many details and professionalism. If she had to describe the Spooky Time Jingles Marketplace to a friend she would tell them it’s a great new site to purchase from.
Thanks for the interview Candy and we hope to have you as a return customer!
