Jerusalem Greer and I (Julie) are SO excited to be presenting the premier Handmade Marketplace event at #AWBU13 this year! Jerusalem brought the idea to me back in May and I knew it was something we should explore. Turns out we were right because we have a great lineup of vendors.
The coolest part is that these vendors aren’t just random people. The vendors are the bloggers and speakers that will be attending the conference. These vendors are your ARWB sisters!
Below is a preview of who will be setting up a table. Some, but not all, vendors will offer credit card sales but most will only be able to accept cash or check. There isn’t an ATM at Camp Ferncliff so come prepared! Several vendors will have items in the $3-$5 range, most books will be in the $20 range and some artwork and clothing items will be $40 or more. Everyone should be able to find something in their budget.
Interested in selling something? Contact julie@arkansaswomenbloggers.com. The deadline to signup is August 23rd. Registration is free for all conference attendees, we just ask for one product as a giveaway.

Would it be possible to post price ranges of lowest and highest cost items that the vendors will be bringing? I know it would help me (and maybe some of the other attendees) know how much cash we want to bring to the conference. Thanks — I can’t wait!
I’m so excited to be a part of the Handmade Marketplace and see all the goodies my ARWB sisters have to offer. Thank you so much for putting together this opportunity.
