Lowcountry Made: Shop Small + Shop Local
Is anyone else as excited about the changing season as I am? I adore the beautiful weather in the Lowcountry this time of year, and every day is best spent outside. The new season also means several upcoming events and parties, so if you’re looking for a special gift to bring the host or hostess, one of our local pop up markets is the place to start! Build the perfect hostess gift with me at Lowcountry Made, an artisan market that sets up in Bluffton and Port Royal.
What is Lowcountry Made?
Lowcountry Made is a series of Popup Artisan Markets promoting artisans and small businesses in the Lowcountry. According to the founder Katie Silva, “It’s a wonderful opportunity to support local makers and engage with the creative community.” Find them at one of their three locations this fall to discover new local artists and makers and snag the perfect gift for someone special.
