Rachel from The Creative Nook has been with us for almost every market. She is such a genuine and fun person. She makes the most beautiful wreaths. And she always has so many too choose from. It will blow your mind and make it had to choose just one.

Here’s a bit about The Creative Nook from Rachel herself, “Hi! My name is Rachel and I am the gal behind The Creative Nook. I have a pup named Willis and I love all things plants and floral! I have always been creative since I was young. It all started with some paper flowers I found at Hobby Lobby when they first opened up in Modesto. Friends and family loved my work (but I wasn’t sure if they were just being “nice”) sooo… I took a chance to see if “strangers” liked my work and signed up for my first market with Four Friends Market! I haven’t looked back since! With lots of trial and error, hot glue burns (still happens all the time) I continue to come up with unique, realistic, one of a kind wreaths to bring some cheer in the world and add a touch to your home decor! To all those who have supported me throughout the years and continue to – I appreciate you! I hope my wreaths bring a smile to your face! I hope to see you this year at Four Friends Market…. where this business began!“

The cool thing about Four Friends Market has been meeting local makers and creators along the way. We didn’t know Maureen from Wood U Play when she first signed up for our market. But she arrived with some adorable handmade wood toys and we were in love. She has now been with us for the past several markets.

Here is a bit about Wood U Play from Maureen herself, “I am a grandmother who started making simple wooden toys for our first grand baby. Soon I was making toys for friends who were also experiencing the joy of becoming grandparents. I then started to sell my toys at local craft fairs. These simple toys let your child use their imagination for hours of play. I also make the beeswax and mineral oil finish to ensure that the toys are safe and non toxic.“

You’ll usually you’ll find me writing, taking photos of my kids, decorating a new corner of my home, or trying my hand at growing flowers. When I found clay, I knew it was just another way for me to express myself and create more beauty for the world. I’m a believer that we are all made to create in some shape or form. Earrings are so fun and I love the way they bring out the beauty of the person wearing them. Every piece is handmade in my kitchen, and I have so much fun making them for you. I hope you have just as much fun wearing them.“

Whether it was painting, drawing, sewing, scrapbooking, you name it-I did it! My work currently is all about Acrylic Paint Pouring. It allows me to use my imagination with colors and the fact that no piece is the same reminds me of how each one of us is different and perfect in the Lord’s eyes.
