Lisette Hasbun Designs – Charlotte, NC

Lisette’s handmade and hand-painted ceramics use bright colors to express the beauty around us.  She finds inspiration in fruits, flowers, landscapes and animals. All of her clay pieces are kiln-fired which means they are functional, microwave and dishwasher safe.  Lisette has participated in The Bizarre Bazaar shows for over 10 years. The happy and joyous reactions of her shoppers give her the energy to create her next designs. Photo credit: David Stover

Kiwi Cottage – Cedar Point, NC

Cathy Bakalar opened Kiwi Cottage, her home decor and gift shop, in her brother’s old fisherman's house. Before long, the shop became a family affair, with sisters, daughters, and, of course, her mom lending a hand. Each added a special talent that made Kiwi Cottage what it is today--a wonderful place to find reasonably priced, classic coastal decor and gifts.  Cathy is bringing a taste of Kiwi Cottage to our 21^st Spring Market with two of her bestsellers - brightly colored Gurgle Pots and her Endless Candlesticks.
