We’re Heading to the First 2026 Evening Market at The Market on Maple!

There’s something extra special about a fall market in the evening, and I’m excited to share that Naturally MelissaMade will be joining the first 2026 Evening Market at The Market on Maple!

Come find me from October 22nd, 6 PM to 8 PM for an evening of handmade creations, fall favorites, community, and plenty of personality packed into the Naturally MelissaMade display. 💜

🍂 Bringing Along Your Fall Favorites

The fall bins are coming with me!

I’ll have a selection of seasonal handmade creations ready to find their new homes. Expect festive friends, fall inspired makes, spooky cuties, sensory favorites, and some of the other handmade goodies you’ve come to expect from my table.

Whether you’re looking for a little something to add to your fall collection, getting an early start on gift shopping, or just want to come see what I’ve been making lately, stop by and take a look.

And, as usual, there’s always a chance something new will sneak into the bins before market day. 😂

🎃 One of Your Last Chances to Adopt a Fundraiser Friend!

The Paul Leeder Project Fundraiser officially comes to an end on October 31, which means we’re getting very close to the finish line!

I’ll be bringing available fundraiser friends with me to The Market on Maple, giving you another opportunity to adopt one before this year’s fundraiser ends.

Our special Halloween crew includes:

🧟 Zombie Paulie the Opossum
🧙‍♀️ Witch Paulie the Opossum
🧛 Vampire Freddie the Fish
🎃 Pumpkin Freddie the Fish

Each Paulie or Freddie is $35, and 60% of every fundraiser friend sold is donated to the Paul Leeder Project, a local nonprofit helping people in need right here in Screven County.

The organization helps provide food and clothing while also supporting life skills and encouraging people in our community as they work toward a more stable future.

That means when you take one of these silly little Halloween friends home, you’re doing more than adopting a handmade plushie. You’re helping us give back locally.

🧶 Come Spend the Evening With Me

One thing I’m really looking forward to as I ease back into more in person events is simply getting to spend time with everyone again.

You don’t have to come ready to shop. Stop by, say hello, see what’s new, meet the fundraiser crew, and enjoy an evening in the community.

📍 The Market on Maple - 117 Maple Street, Sylvania GAaple
🌙 First 2026 Evening Market
⏰ 6 PM to 8 PM

And if a Paulie, Freddie, or another handmade friend happens to decide you’re their person while you’re there...well, I can’t be held responsible for that. 😂💜

With the Paul Leeder Project Fundraiser ending October 31, time is running out to make one of this year’s fundraiser friends yours.

I hope to see you at The Market on Maple!

Handmade with purpose. Creating confidence, one stitch at a time.
