We spent last weekend at another event that was new to us, though it was the 10th anniversary of the event overall. The fun of moving south means that our day-travel radius has shifted… if we’re willing to push it, as far south as Atlanta.
So that’s where we went!
The other fun part of this is that we are meeting all new vendors and customers. So we had a nice weekend meeting fun new people.
Unfortunatly, much like our show earlier in February, we had a lot of time to meet our fellow vendors. Traffic was light, and those who had done this convention repeatedly all agreed that things were down year over year. Still, we did generally well, met awesome new people, and have some new custom orders to tackle – which I will definitely be sharing in progress pictures of! Keep an eye on our Instagram if no where else.
Now on to the photos!
I love this dealer’s room sign! I wish more conventions would be creative with it.The nice and not to big dealer’s room.Obligatory picture of Nathaniel finishing pieces in the booth.

Glad they had fun posing with our weapon!Excellent music for the Saturday evening concert. Tuatha Dea were lots of fun!Wish this band had a larger audience, because they were a blast!Spider lace totally needs a spider sword……or, apparantly, a Harley hammer, since that went home with her for her own customization.
We’re happy to have started our year with an all new adventure in Steampunk, and a new local show! This show had its good and bad, but I hope the team that put it together tries again next year.
First, huge compliments to the organizers of this event. They had all sorts of awesome things going on all hours of the event, and a bunch of amazing creators. Honestly, it was one of the best dealer’s rooms for quality that I have ever seen. We had fun reunions with steampunk creators that we usually see up north.
