Wow. There are just no words to truly encompass the appreciation I have for this city. Thank you isn’t enough. The last 20 years have been nothing short of fantastic…filled with love, support, friendship, and so much fun. I am honored to have been a part of Cleveland Bazaar for this long, and humbled by all of the support shown to us over two decades. This year was no different…so many familiar faces, so much laughter, and record sales. Thanks to 78th Street Studios for giving us a rad home, too. I just can’t express my gratitude enough. I love you, Cleveland….I love my Bazaar family…and wish everyone happiness and health in 2025. ♥️♥️♥️

Can’t wait to see everyone this weekend!! Celebrating 20 years of Bazaar!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Twenty years. What can we possibly say but thank you? Cleveland, you have consistently shown up for us as we expanded our reach to year-round events but THIS show is special. It’s the building where we started way back in 2004 with the help of 1300 Gallery. It’s our home. We can’t wait to see you there this weekend.

BIG LOVE AND THANKS… ❤️❤️❤️ to Knitgrrl Studio for 20 years of absolute awesomeness on all fronts, personal and professional. Cleveland Bazaar is a family because you champion for us to be and because you work SO DAMN HARD. Proud isn’t a strong enough sentiment when I think of what you’ve accomplished and I feel so fortunate to have been hurled into your atmosphere by the art gods. ❤️ To Cleveland as a community, for showing up for all of us over the last 20 years…for loving and wearing my work…for follows, likes and shares…for your kind words and smiling faces. I have made so many friends over the years, and even those of you that I only see once a year…you are just SO damn special to me! 😂 Lol. Your support has meant so much over the last two decades. You helped me pay my bills and put a roof over our heads. You helped me to build not only my business, but my confidence and my craft, which is beyond rad and so appreciated! ❤️ And always, to Cleveland Magazine for including my work on so many occasions and supporting the arts in Cleveland with such loving enthusiasm. 20 years feels impossible, but here I am…and I couldn’t have done it without you! 🥹😘 I can’t wait to see everyone at Holiday Bazaar at 78th Street Studios next month!!!

Thank you, Cleveland! Always showing up for your handmade community truly makes a difference in so many people’s lives. Thanks for seeing us through and allowing us to be a part of your holiday traditions. It’s been an amazing 19 years for me with the Cleveland Bazaar and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of your support! I can’t wait for next year! ❤️💚❤️

Day one of Cleveland Bazaar was insanity and I got zero pictures, so here is today, (and some throwbacks)…I have barely enough inventory and you’ll be greeted by a really tired Jess behind the table, but it’s my 18TH YEAR as a vendor at Bazaar!! I couldn’t be more proud to be the one remaining vendor who has been here since the beginning. Yes, it basically means I’m old, but oh man, the memories I have of the crazy fun and challenging times we’ve been through are the best. This group has become a chosen family…kindred spirits, and I’ve been through so much with them. Starting my jewelry business, cancer, raising a kid, marriage, opening a store, a divorce, moves, a freaking pandemic…I couldn’t ask for a greater group of people, or a greater fearless leader than we have in Shannon Okey . She 100% put Cleveland on the map when it comes to indie craft, has gone to bat for all of us over and over, has created a safe and loving space for everyone, and seriously, after 18 years, I’m still SO in love. Thank you, Cleveland for supporting my crazy asymmetrical earring/ architectural salvage jewelry art dreams for all of these years! 😍

Although I’m not super active online anymore, I will of course still be at the beloved Cleveland Bazaar this weekend! Same spot as always, with all of the best makers, artists, foodies, and friends you could hope for! Come see us!! 😘

So after finally catching my breath after the whirlwind that was this past weekend’s Cleveland Bazaar Holiday show, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who showed up to shop with all of us. It was my 17th year as a Baz vendor, and every year the support from our community grows. I nearly sold out, which is beyond amazing, and totally unexpected after the last year we have all had. It’s been such a joy in my life to watch the growth, transformation, and creation of family that Baz has experienced. Shannon Okey is a powerhouse of a business woman, an amazing friend, and such a stellar human being, I’m grateful for her beyond words. Big thanks to 78th St. Studios for hosting us, another super fantastic transformation to have been fortunate to witness, such a great place and a great group of folks. It was SO WONDERFUL to be back with friendors and to see long time customers that have become dear friends as well. I truly missed my sweet family. I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday season, and again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️💚
