Divine Events of Tennessee to hold first annual Artisan Festival in Oak Grove, Kentucky

Divine Events of TennesseeClarksville, TN – Divine Events of Tennessee will be hosting an Artisan Festival on 1st June 2013 from 9:00am – 4:00pm at the Valor Hall Events and Convention Center in Oak Grove, Kentucky. Several Clarksville, Tennessee organizations will be featured at the event including Manna Café Ministries and the Memory Lane Cruisers Car Club.

The event  formed around a benefit for Manna Café Ministries of Clarksville, Tn. We are asking the public to bring in a donation of canned goods, dry pasta, or peanut butter for Manna Café Ministries. They are a non-profit organization that helps to feed and clothe the hungry. “We are happy to have them join our festival,” said festival organizer Val McGee.

The Artisan Festival will have vendors selling unique hand crafted items. “We went on a search for crafters who made items that you generally won’t find at an festival,” said Tara Roscoe. “Of course you will be able to find some of the usual but vast variety was the key.” There will also be food, fun, and a kids zone featuring inflatables and finger printing for children by Oak Grove Crime Stoppers.

Come on out and check for yourself. You can also visit Divine Events of Tennessee on facebook to get a sneak peak of this event.

Aahou Jewels

Another vendor is Aahou Jewels who was conceptualized in 2005.

After being faced with another piece of overpriced piece of jewelry. I decided at that point to start making my own jewelry. ‘How hard could it be?’ I asked myself. After many trials and errors and reading through just as many books, some really beautiful pieces of jewelry began to emerge. Like so many other artisans, people started to ask how much my pieces were. Currently, my jewelry can be viewed at the Hopkinsville Art Guild located in the mall there. You may also catch me at local craft shows in the area, or just go to Aahou Jewels on Facebook. If you are interested in making your own jewelry, just check me out at Hobby Lobby on Wilma Rudolph in Clarksville, TN. I just came out with a new line of Hanging Jewelry Boxes and some miniature boxes as well. I just thank God for the creative spirit that he has blessed me with and the opportunity to show it to the world. See you at the festival!

Tanzu Herbal Soaps

TANZU Herbal Soaps began with a question of what to do with a very large Rosemary bush in my herb garden and a trip to a local herb and essential oils shop called Celestial Esscents.

Using a cold process method, our soaps are handmade from food grade vegetable oils, 100% pure essential oils and natural preservatives such as Vitamin E and grapefruit seed extract. We do not use artificial coloring or chemicals beyond the use of lye (the lye is fully saponified…used up in the soap making process). The use of lye is unavoidable as it is the lye that transforms the oils into soap…no lye…no soap. We allow our soaps to cure for a minimum of 6-8 weeks to enhance the mildness and longevity of the soap. Handmade soaps are like fine wine…the longer it cures the milder and harder it gets which helps it to last longer…patience is the key.
