Seed beads are making a comeback, as seen in the Jan/Feb issue of Better Homes & Gardens. It’s super easy and fun, and a great way to make a special gift for Mom for Mother’s Day!

Learn how to create flowers, bows, and napkin rings out of seed beads without the eye strain. Students will learn the art of stringing beads using a bead spinner, which makes this craft much more enjoyable. No individual beads to thread!

Price: $65 including supplies

Chattanooga Market Strawberry Festival

Sunday, May 5 | 11 AM to 4 PM | Chattanooga Market

It’s prime time for STRAWBERRIES at the Chattanooga Market! Local really is better and you’ll taste the difference. Strawberry salsa, strawberry cake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, strawberry jelly, strawberry lemonade, even strawberry candles – you get the idea! Our strawberries are hand-picked early Sunday morning so they’re ripe and red all the way through (no white centers here).
