. What's goin' on?
 
With Mother's Day coming in a couple of weeks, this months Island Moon Market is poised to be your one stop shop for all you need to make mom feel special!
We have 30 vendors as of today and we normally pick up several more during the last week. As the weather warms up, so do the vendors increase in numbers! This month and last has given us several new vendors including a Mary Kay,Tupperware and Miche Rep! Welcome ladies!
  
Moon On The Horizon will be with us for the first time. Wait until you see the beautiful and unique art Michelle has to offer! Hand painted shoes and faces too.
  
 We also have Boutique 1225 which earned huge brownie points with Phillip and I when they sent us samples of their goat milk soaps! The box they mailed them in even smelled good!
  
Joan's Gems will be showcasing Patriotic Crafts and back from a break is Southwind Winery; stop by for a sample and take home a bottle of Texas Wine! Also back from a break is Fowler Marketing with all the latest in sunglass trends!
  
On the charity side of the event we have Son Shine Sisters. Proceeds from their sales of handmade belt crosses goes to help those in need. We will also have Heartbeats Dog & Cat Rescue. Spread the word; your new best friend(s) will be found at the market this weekend!
  
Callie's Cajun and Oscar & Mary will be on hand to satisfy those foody cravings!
  
And of course so many others!  Remember, we love vendor referrals! Once you are a participating vendor, refer a vendor and receive 20% off your booth fee (see website for details). Charity booths are always free and produce vendors are $25 for the day!
  
I guess it is also necessary to put in a few words about the conflict between the local newspaper and the Island Moon Market. There have been many rumors spread around that are hurtful to Phillip and I. To address most of these, I placed a link on our facebook page www.facebook.com/islandmoonmarket as well as on our website www.islandmoonmarket.com
Once on our website or Facebook page locate and click on the link, it will take you to a PDF that lays out the facts surrounding the conflict. Hopefully this will knock out all the chatter and allow everyone to move on.
  
A couple of things I heard over the weekend: We (obviously) are not out of business, we did win the case (not the other way around) and we have not increased our rates! It's business as usual for Phillip and Darcie Mason and the Island Moon Market!
  
It's going to be a great summer!

DREAMING COLLECTION

  

Patrizia Warren

I'm an award winning Australian artist living in the States. I paint and sculpt stories from the Dreamtime. The Dreamtime is a time in the spiritual realm where the land and all living things come from.

 The stories are memories handed down from generation to generation.

 My stories capture the colors of my home place

Australia and the places I encounter on my journey around the world .

 I'm originally from Perth Australia, where I met my husband Dewayne, who was on active duty with the US Navy. I made my home in The US 15 years ago, but my heart always remained in Australia. I had a dream one night that I was an artist and I saw myself making beautiful colorful fish in clay. I bought some clay and began making the fish I saw in my dreams. The rest became history. When we deployed overseas with the Navy to Japan, Guam and back to the States, The 'Dreaming Story ' went with me and became the Oz Art Dreaming Collection. The collection is sold in several countries as well as The States and proudly has been chosen to adorn the tables at U.S.O. Six Star Salute Banquets in The South Pacific.

The red lips represent the circle of life,

if the fish is small, kiss it and release it. 

I studied painting and clay work at Fairfield College in Hamilton, New Zealand. Completing a 3 year apprenticeship  in Graphic Art in Auckland I moved to Australia. I have been sculpting ceramics and clay and painting watercolors professionally for 12  years.

 

 The OZ-ART COLLECTION has been shown in galleries  in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Guam and The U.S.A I presently reside in Corpus Christi Texas, with my Husband, retired from The US Navy

 Perfectly

             Posh

My name is Susanne Kiefer and I am your

Island Moon Market Perfectly Posh consultant. I'm a mom of 2 amazing children and married to a great guy. I was like so many moms out there looking for products to use at bath time around our house that wouldn't add unneeded chemicals to our routine. I found Perfectly Posh in May of 2012 and was hooked on the products. I thought I'd just buy the products, or maybe host a few parties but selling was not my thing at all. I made a date with a local rep and after trying her products and seeing how great they were, I thought "oh I'll sign up just to get a discount for myself". Well as soon as my friends heard about this new stuff I was using, they all wanted to check it out. It was then that I realized how Perfectly Posh could really sell itself. One of those friends told me about the Island Moon Market and said you have to come check this out - folks will love your products. And do they!

We proudly say that Perfectly Posh is made in the US and contains products made from some of the best stuff on Earth! Body butters and lotions as well as body wash and scrubs. We have a new skin line that is gentle and a Fabulous Baby line that is well Fabulous! Pedicure sets, lip products and our skin sticks are items that no one should be without.
