Vendor Spotlight: Paynefully Crafted
Sometimes something special starts with something as simple as sitting on the couch watching TikToks. For Courtney Payne, one night of scrolling led her to a pair of earrings she thought were cute. She wondered if she could make them herself, and her daughter said, “Mom, you could make those.” So she did.
And from that little beginning, Paynefully Crafted was born.
Courtney creates polymer clay earrings, keychains, bookmarks, trinket dishes, coasters, flower frogs, worry stones and magnets. Her earrings are her best sellers and her favorite to make, with each pair taking around six hours from start to finish.
But what Courtney loves most about the market isn't just what she gets to make or sell. It’s the people. The conversations, the friendships, the familiar faces, and all the little moments that happen on Saturday mornings. She says the relationships she’s made have become one of her favorite parts of being a vendor.
And maybe that’s why her advice to anyone thinking about joining a farmers’ market is so fitting: JUST GO FOR IT. Take the next step and don’t hold yourself back. Whether you sell something or not, there are other vendors ready to support you, help you out, and send people your way.
Courtney took that first step herself, not knowing where it would lead. Now she’s made new friends, met some pretty amazing people, and found a place in our market family.
We’re pretty happy that one night on the couch led her to us. ❤️
Be sure to come say hi and shop her booth this Saturday!
