About Us.

Makers Market started 10 years ago as a holiday pop-up to feature local artisans in a way that was more shopper-friendly than a weekend craft show. You may have seen our stores in Park Meadows, Southwest Plaza, Cherry Creek, Flatirons, Briargate, Aspen Grove, Chapel Hills, and the Castle Rock Outlets.

Over the years, we have showcased 1000’s of talented local vendors. In 2015 we had an opportunity to turn our pop-ups into a year-round store with an amazing build out of Southwest Plaza Mall. This has been our homebase ever since. We also have two stores upstairs in the Park Meadows Mall. Each location is special and unique and offers products you won’t find in big box stores. Thank you for supporting local!

Simple style tip:

I’ve always thought that earrings can make an entire outfit. Just have on a simple T-shirt and jeans? Throw on some fabulous earrings and you look way more put together! Good news is we have tons of options at all of our stores no matter what your style is!!

The studs are available in our newest Park Meadows location, upstairs near Pottery Barn.

Do you like surprises? What about the fact that as a small retail business owner, other than the typical day-to-day tools, my job also requires lots and lots of IT and computer know-how to function properly!

And I'm not very good at it. Surprising, right? Right now I'm about to change the way our pricing and cashier system works at Southwest Plaza and I know I'm in for a bumpy ride. Bracing myself.

What do you do and what surprising necessity do you need to do it?

Today I fell into a pit of Monday "poor me" mentality. Except it's not Monday. And I don't tend to stay in that space very long.

Being a small business is not all sunshine and rainbows. It's hard work day in and out. Right now we really need to hire some great team members to fill gaps! We have part time positions open at both malls and would love to meet you if you're a positive, upbeat, people person who values working for small business.

In the meantime, I’m turning that frown into a smile and headed to enjoy a nice bath. 🛁

Sometimes it just feels nice to have someone give

Sometimes it just feels nice to have someone give you permission.

Permission to be yourself. Permission to go enjoy the things that you love to do. Permission to take a break from social media when you want to or need to. Permission to go pursue those passions and dreams. If that’s you and you needed our permission, consider it granted.

Just like plants require sunlight and water, dream

Just like plants require sunlight and water, dreams take some TLC, too! (This cute little pot and snake plant are available from @sanctuarycolorado in our Park Meadows store!)

I’ve gotten pretty good at keeping plants alive lately, but I also know what it takes to keep dreams alive too! Intuition, tenacity, and, of course, a grateful heart are a bit of what it takes to achieve even the wildest dreams!

What about you? How do you nourish your dreams?

What’s your guilty pleasure?

A few of us around here have a wicked sweet tooth! Lucky for us, we have a very special pop up event with @toute.douceur.candy happening at our Southwest Plaza store on Saturday from 11-1 (or until she sells out)!!

Wanna know what keeps us all going?

After several years of working to keep our stores alive (add an extra year for the stress of COVID), it's really time we acknowledge why we work so diligently. More specifically, WHO we work so diligently for. We work for our amazing local vendors--150+. (Shown here is Carrie of @summitsustainablegoods . She's relatively new with our stores and we love her mission for zero waste!)

It’s an honor to be able to work with the hopes of making them proud of the stores they call home and to showcase their work to shoppers across the southern Denver area.

What about you, friend? Who do you work for?

If I could take a snapshot of today’s agenda, it’d look a bit like this: drop kiddo off at first day of school, back home to answer emails, add new items to the stores, work with vendors to create new displays, create social posts for the week, work on the staff schedule for 5 stores (yes, did you know we have that many now?) and hopefully squeeze in meal planning and grocery shopping.

What does your day look like?

I have to admit: I have a TERRIBLE sweet tooth. I wanna know, what’s your favorite kind of dessert?

We JUST booked a very sweet pop up event for our Southwest Plaza store during our Summer Clearance Event. We'll share the secret sweets-maker soon!!

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what

“A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships were made for.”

Read that again! It’s so true that there are endless possibilities on the other side of our “safe zone.” Most all of our amazing vendors had to step out of the that safety zone when they started their craft/hobby/business!

Type “yes” in the comments below if you’re committed to chasing your dreams, even if it means leaving the safety of the harbor!

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? I would be sitting beside a mountain waterfall.

But since that isn’t possible right now, I guess I have to enjoy where I am instead. Today, I’m wearing a moss agate bracelet from @heartencreations (known for being connected to nature and refreshing the soul) and it isn’t half bad!

Where are you, and where would you rather be? Share away!
