For those who are looking to escape the cold and get a head start on shopping for Christmas, Oklahoma's largest weekend pop-up shop is in full swing.
The three-day long event is a one-stop shop to get ready for Christmas with gifts, decorations, clothing, and so many handmade and unique items. More than 300 vendors are set up across the SageNet Center at Expo Square ready for shoppers. It's the 27th year “An Affair of the Heart” is in Tulsa, listed as one of the top craft shows in the country.
Vendors include small businesses, boutique owners, crafters, and artists like local pop art and abstract artist Casey Reed.
"It's really kind of hard as a local artist without a shop to have exposure to a lot of customers, so I thought I'd give this a try,” Reed said. "I love talking to people, so I love meeting local Tulsans and showing off my work."
This is Reed's first time at the event. She hand paints Christmas ornaments and sells prints of her artwork, mostly inspired by Tulsa and Oklahoma.
Shoppers can also find things like jewelry, home décor, and gourmet foods.
"For small businesses, we have to do a lot of our sales online and it can be hard to gain exposure, so this is just a great opportunity for people to see things in person. A piece of art is a big investment, so you want to see it in person before you purchase,” Reed said.
Guests can shop until 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets are good for all three days.
