Who’s Setting Up on Opening Sunday
Eleven tables, the first of six Sundays, and what each of them is bringing.
Update, November 9. Opening Sunday turned into six. Thank you to everyone who set up a table this fall. Keep an eye out for pop-up markets over the winter. The full market reopens in the spring.
The market opens Sunday, and eleven tables are already spoken for.
Maisie’s Sunday Market runs 1 to 5 every Sunday from September 20 through October 25. No booth fee, no ticket at the gate, and the kitchen is open the whole time. Here is who asked for the first one.
Oh Batch! Bakeshop. Katie Kelly bakes her cookies inside the tin instead of spread across a sheet, which is why they come out with sharp corners and a gooey middle rather than flat. The OG, OG plus nuts, Kitchen Sink, and Birthday Cake. It’s a cottage operation out of a Tega Cay kitchen, and ordinarily you’d have to catch the Monday morning pre-order and pick up on a Friday. Sunday, you can just walk up to the table.
JL Kirby. The name belongs to two sisters who write together, and Lauren, the one who lives here, teaches elementary school. Their books follow DJ the Scratchy Cat, named for a real cat her sister brought home in 2009 and named after Derek Jeter. Bring a kid.
Blue Cove Creative. Megan grew up in Tega Cay, twenty-three years of it, and started the business because it has gotten hard to tell what is real online and what is not. Social media, marketing, and content for small businesses, from someone who already knows the town.
Couples Haven. Kimberly Keefer is a licensed marriage and family therapist with an office over in Fort Mill, and she runs a one- and two-day Reset Intensive for couples who would rather do the work in a block than an hour at a time. Her table has games, conversation starters, and tools you can take home.
Towyo Trailer Sales. Carlos and Carrieann Perez sell trailers factory-direct — cargo, dump, gooseneck, and concession. They are bringing one to walk through, which is more than most tables can offer.
Every exhibitor gets written up here at some point across the six weeks. Nobody is here for one afternoon and then gone from the page.
The rest of the opening lineup: Train With Cain, the studio up at 1741 Gold Hill Road, with swag and a prize wheel. Lauren James on what the housing market is actually doing rather than what people say it is doing. LEGACY Design & Build on kitchens, baths, decks, and porches. Brooke & Maisy Interior Designs, two years in, with a drawing for prizes. Karl Schaefer Designs, more than twenty years of floor plans, renderings, and walkthroughs of rooms that do not exist yet — and the reason this building feels the way it does. And the ChooseKindACD Foundation, whose 5K starts here on October 17.
The mix changes week to week, and every exhibitor’s Sundays are listed on the market page. If you live in Tega Cay, or run a small business or nonprofit here, there is still room at a table, and it costs nothing to take one.
