Got big fun Valentines Day plans?

February 7 @ 10:00 am – 6:00 pm

Valentines Day Market
At The Lodge at St. Edward Park

On the Saturday of February 7th consider coming out to St. Edwards Park in Kenmore. Enjoy the crisp weather, walk the pristine trails, and experience the Pacific Northwest in all it’s glory. Most importantly pop into the Valentines Day Holiday market hosted by The Lodge at St. Edwards Park. View their extensive art collection, have a warm beverage and quite possibly find a unique gift for that special someone. I will be there with my unique glass wares along with an exclusive selection other local vendors. Expect a wide variety of handmade goods and other artisanally created wares, and keep your eyes peeled for my annual limited edition Valentines Day Drop!

Seattle’s Notorious Punk Rock Flea Market!

December 13, 2025 @ 8:00 am – December 14, 2025 @ 5:00 pm

It’s a war on Christmas! And we’re winning!

The PRFM returns to the Quality Flea Center on Capitol Hill December 13-14, 2025. Three full days of bargains, beats, and booze at the most wonderful time of the year.

Quality Flea Center – 416 15th Ave. E. 98112

Seattle – Capital Hill
12 noon to 8:00pm on Saturday
12 noon to 6:00pm on Sunday

Admission ALWAYS just ONE DOLLAR!!!
Since 2006!

All ages welcome
Alcohol service with ID

Silent night?!? Not fu*king likely! The Punk Rock Flea Market spreads the joy without the dogma this winter at the Quality Flea Center on 15^th Ave. E on Capitol Hill.

December 13-14 the PRFM opens the doors to a community of brilliant artists and hard-working crafts people, showing the world how we make a marketplace that’s rooted in human relationships rather than exploitative bullshit. It’s an anti-capitalist shopping spree on Capitol Hill as we play host to nearly 200 purveyors selling vintage fashion, curated music, sneakers, taxidermy, dog collars, stickers, action figures, roller skates, gemstones, lunchboxes, cosmetics, ceramics, robot dogs AND SO MUCH MORE!

All of this while our attractive bartenders pour cheap drinks of your choice, killer DJ’s provide a lush shopping soundtrack, and locally famous food makers fill your bellies. It’s a hell of a scene!

The PRFM remains an ALL AGES experiment. We believe wholeheartedly that children represent our hopeful future, seniors demonstrate our checkered past, and everyone has something to gain from being part of the PRFM. And we staunchly resist inflation by asking only ONE DOLLAR to enter the Punk Rock Flea Market. Take that, forces of tyranny! Show up, make some noise, and experience what the free trade of objects and ideas really looks like.

As always, the PRFM supports our friends the Low Income Housing Institute, aka. LIHI, with a donation from our proceeds. LIHI is a non-profit organization that provides homes for homeless and low-income people all around the Puget Sound, and is currently leading the effort to build tiny self–contained houses for homeless people and families around our region. More info about them at www.lihi.org.

The Punk Rock Flea Market is supported in part by awards from 4Culture and the City of Seattle Office of Economic Development. For more info contact PRFleamarket@gmail.com. Or visit www.punkrockfleamarketseattle.com.

Feral. Freaky. Festive AF.
Punk Rock Flea Market is the Pacific Northwest’s favorite underground shopping experience. Four or more times each year hundreds of vendors sell their unique goods in unexpected locations.

One-of-a-kind bazaar featuring oddities, ghost-hunting tools, artwork and spooky trinkets.

Corner of S 54th St &, S Tacoma Way, Tacoma, WA 98409

The Haunted Farmers Market isn’t your ordinary market—it’s a multi award-winning gathering of the strange and unusual, celebrated throughout Pierce County and across the Pacific Northwest. Nestled in the heart of Tacoma, Washington, this eerie marketplace blends the charm of a traditional farmers market with the thrill of the supernatural.

Step into a world where over 150 vendors conjure up their dark delights: crystals that shimmer with hidden energy, tarot readings that whisper of fate, flash tattoos that brand the brave, curious taxidermy, ghostly artwork, horror collectibles, chilling posters, macabre fashion, spellbinding candles, and apothecary wonders.

More than just a market—it’s an experience. A place where the veil between the everyday and the otherworldly grows thin.

Tacoma’s Haunted Farmers Market Brings Visitors to Tacoma

A Summary from South Sound Talk

Find everything from bats embroidered onto a tiny tree limb and actual taxidermized bats to fresh eggs and great coffee when spending time at Tacoma’s Haunted Farmers Market. Every other Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., guests are taunted with witchy vendors and spooky-themed food trucks to their (un-beating) heart’s content.

“The crowd is the best part. Tacoma and the surrounding area really show up for its art community. We’ve got a wonderfully eclectic and weird bunch of creative folks around here, and they’re truly the best group of people I could ask for,” shares Reed.

With people driving as long as five hours to frequent the supernatural farmers market, Reed speaks of the surrounding area as being huge. “We had one woman drive over three hours for her birthday, and her car broke down. They ended up taking an Uber from the mechanic all the way to the market. [They] had a blast,” recalls Aratin.

The Haunted Farmers Market has so much more in its cards. Because of the exponential success of the market in such a short time span, they are launching an expansion on July 6. The market will increase to 100 themed vendors instead of the 50 they began with, adding hours of fun on Saturday mornings.

I am part of a lovely new Valentines Day market this weekend at The Lodge.

February 5, 2025 No Comments

A Valentine’s Market hosted by Catalyst Fine Art. Saturday And Sunday February, 8th & 9th from 10am – 5pm.

Join myself other artists and skilled crafts-persons for an exceptional market within the venerated halls of the St. Edwards Lodge in Kenmore WA. Discover a one-of-a-kind gifts from our diverse selection of over 25 local artisans at the market!

Whether you’re shopping with your “Galentines” for a special friend or browsing with the family for thoughtful presents, you’re sure to find a unique, locally-made item that truly expresses your love and appreciation.

For Valentines Day this year I have created two new lines of themed glassware.

Let me first introduce to you to the limited edition Cherub Baby Head Cup. One part angel one part part Icarus, and one part cute as hell! I have been scheming on this one for a while now specifically as a counterpart to Lil’ Diavolo. I have yet to resolve a specific wing color for these little angles so currently I’m exploring opals and pink compositions on the initial runs.

The second is a contemporary take on the timeless tradition of the glass heart paperweight. I have made thousands of these things for other people in my career as a glass-worker. What makes my hearts stand apart is the silver foil decal emblazoned on the face of each heart. Just like the classic heart candies that have a cute saying on the face, my hearts feature an inspirational clip art image sourced from my off-color collection of silver decal cut outs.

Also join us during the market on Sunday for a special artist demonstration by Robert Bank Glass! Watch him create stunning glass art in real-time while learning about his process and inspiration.
