Shop Local in Bellevue May 13, 2017 with Handmade​ Nashville


The Handmade Nashville Summer Arts and Crafts Show is May 13 at the Red Caboose Park in Bellevue, TN. All of the items you will see there are made in America; in fact everything we offer is made in or near Nashville by mompreneurs and other motivated small business owners from this area!

Our 76 vendors are excited to share their wares with you. Between us we have a huge variety of handmade products for gifts (Mother's Day is May 14th hint, hint!) and home decor.

Here is a little background on a few of the friendly people you will meet on May 13 in part three of our Meet the Makers series.



There have always been crazy little ideas running through Jennifer Cater's head...wanting something but not finding it available out in the real world lead to the beginning of The J.Cater Shop.

Always crafty and resourceful, Jennifer now shares her creations with everyone. What kickstarted as a small business dedicated to fabric covered button earrings and jewelry, has now expanded to an eclectic mix of modern, vintage and upcycled jewelry, accessories and decor. 

Pieces are wacky, versatile, weird, person-centered but most of all FUN! Some items reach to your childhood or touch your soul, representing a piece of yourself maybe once lost or one never left behind.

There's something for almost all tastes! And if there isn't, Jennifer will do her best to create it!




Amanda Merry runs Inner Sun Soap. Her business started after Doctors could not find an effective treatment for her youngest son’s eczema. After a lot of experimenting and studying, everyone in the family began to have noticeably nicer skin. 

It was clear that she had a business when friends started buying her products from her. In an effort to be both ethical and cost-effective, she only purchases sustainable and organic products from reputable sources.

When you support Inner Sun Soap, you are helping a family buy baseball gear for their sons, and encouraging an entrepreneur to continue studying herbology, You’re helping a community of handcrafters and small businesses buy from each other. You’re helping to feed your skin with wholesome ingredients with the latest knowledge about skin care. And you're helping the homeless since a portion of the profits is donated to Open Table Nashville.




 FairyMeMore was a childhood passion passed on by Angie Wanke Ragan, known as Oni, by her nieces and nephews originally and now by those that know her best for her whimsy and eccentric personality. Angie has a flair for the newest trends with her own personal touch and Boho Chic and European treasures have always been her own personal style preference. She now has the time to embrace her creativity to share with others the love for handmade fairy, pixie, gnome gardens, houses, terrariums, furniture and even tiny food for your little visitors that flutter in the twilight or hide in your garden or around the house. 

Angie makes crystal jewelry and shares her collection of fine Sterling Silver Wrapped Natural Gemstones. She also has an extensive knowledge of crystals and their benefits to our mind, body and spirit and she sells her finds to others that embrace a holistic approach to health and wellness. You will just love to see Angie's Fairy Houses that will be featured at her FairyMeMore booth.

We can't wait to meet you on May 13th!
