When you buy from a maker, you're buying more than just a unique product created with love, time and personal energy. You are also buying all the hours of testing, failures, trying again, weeks and months of frustrations and moments of pure joy! You are supporting a dream, and the local economy! A great place to support your local makers is at a craft event!

I've been a bit under the weather... so a little slow posting this; I wanted to thank all the amazing vendors and the customers that came out to our Maker's Market Craft Event! Those that braved the rain and winds and wore a smile, thank you!

The weather could have better... but had been predicted to be way worse than what it was! I enjoyed meeting some of the most talented people in the Midlands if not all of South Carolina! And some of the nicest! Let me share some of the beautiful people and their handmade, handcrafted, and amazing cooked items!

We hope you all will come out tomorrow, Sunday, to the State Farmers Market, West Columbia and check out this medium sized Maker's Market- Craft Event from 11 to 4pm!

Vendor Spotlight! Come check out Love You Loaves at the State Farmers Market, 3483 Charleston Hwy, West Columbia this Saturday and Sunday! Her breads look scrumptious!!!

I have a home based micro bakery making sourdough bread using wholesome natural ingredients serving the Columbia SC area.

I live in Cayce and bake weekly where folks can preorder loaves from my ’This Week’s Bread’ menu and have a pick up location at Dialed Bicycle shop on State Street, Cayce.

My menu changes often as I like to use creative flavors in addition to regular or seeded sourdoughs.

I use organic flour as well as stone ground whole wheats, ancient, heirloom and ryes to show case the wonderful grains we grow here in the United States.

Sourdough is a naturally leavened bread with an overnight cold fermentation which develops flavor and touch of sourness.
