Lot & Found

INTRODUCING: An out-of-the-box vision for vending & events in Sleepy Hollow

First came the vehicle:

SHADOWBOX: mobile market

An affordable (adorable!), electric, street-legal low-speed GEM mini-truck with an enclosed bed becomes the simple, practical staging area for a simple, enticing shop & experience at local events and solo in available spaces. No gas or emissions required! The contents match the container: all handmade, upcycled, and vintage. Books, prints, paintings, encaustics, woodwork, even shadowboxes, all with a special made-in-Sleepy Hollow flavor. So much so that the trees painted on the exterior match the cover design for my best-of edition of Irving's The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow.

The big picture:

What if various local talented and entrepreneurial earth-friendly vendors came together for monthly ongoing market full of such unique finds. What if instead of makers and collectors needing to rent an expensive storefront or buy a building to get in front of customers, they can incubate their creative start-ups here together outside? These markets, with Shadowbox as anchor and organizer, will help connect the riverfront to the inner village without burdening downtown congestion, entice & delight both visitors and residents who happen upon them, and offer accessible selling opportunities to makers and vendors year-round (weather permitting) and not just in crowded October.

Coming soon to Horan's Landing:

LOT & FOUND: A Flea for All!

Think: vintage oddities, books, botanicals, handcrafted treasures, upcycled/repurposed, Sleepy Hollow-inspired and Earth-friendly wares--eclectic, eccentric, and yes, often dark and spooky like we like it around here.

You're the key!

Seeking:

• Vendors/makers

• Sponsors

• Shoppers!

• And later: collaborators/performers/instructors as we someday expand this effort in the park to also feature DIY art demos, Show & Tell events, and other fun community connections.
