Attention fellow Alabamians! 😀
I wanted to let you know about an event coming up at the Union Station train shed in Montgomery on May 3rd. It’s called Southern Makers, and it’s one-day festival that brings together artists, chefs, farmers, brewers, architects and designers to explore “Bama-centric” inventiveness, through panels, workshops, and cooking demos.
I couldn’t make it to last year’s event, but I am so excited about going to this one!

The folks at Southern Accents (Cullman, AL) are decking out the whole place with lots of gorgeous salvaged materials again this year, which is sure to make the whole atmosphere feel even more fun. Here are a few pics of how they embellished a few different areas last year:
Pretty inspiring, huh? 😀
Tickets are available over at SouthernMakers.com, and the event is open from 11am-5pm on Saturday, May 3rd. I hope to see you there!
PS- Speaking of “local stuff”, Kevin’s brother’s house is on the market:
Just thought I’d link to it HERE in case you know someone that’s looking for a 4 bdrm/2 bath in the Arrowhead area of Montgomery! 🙂
That festival looks like amazing fun. It looks like a large farmer’s market.
How I WISH I lived there because this looks AWESOME!
Layla,
A friend of mine invited me to this event a few months ago and I have really been looking forward to it. I will be sure to look out for you. Happy to see you share it here on your blog. See ya there!
Blessings,
Linda
This looks amazing! I live in Mobile. I may have to make the drive up to Montgomery for this!
It was great last year! We had a wonderful time tasting EVERYTHING!!! And yes, we already have our tickets for this year.
What a beautiful setting for a festival. I’d love to visit sometime.
Hey Layla,
The ticket link above to SouthernMakers.com doesn’t seem to be working. I was able to google and find it though….just thought you would want to know
I’m praying for you, Kevin and Sweet Pea. Blessings!

Wow, I can’t believe how inexpensive houses are in Alabama. Sydney is one if the most expensive cities to live in the world, albeit one of the best xx
That looks like an amazing event! It’s a little far from me here in California but I have a bunch of family in Alabama so I’ll pass the word on to them. Thanks! xo Jonni xo
OOOOHHHHHH This had me when I saw the Wild Yeast Sourdough and the fresh honeycomb. YUM.
Hope you have a ball. this looks like great fun.
Layla,
Thanks for the mention, I’ve be contracted to cover Southern Makers again this year — it will be fun! Love the site — maybe we can do coffee one morning, I like your style.
