Travel Light Shop Heavy – Ship Artisan Purchases Home
We’ve all been there. You’re browsing an artisan fair, maybe the Tucson Celtic Festival or the Tucson Museum of Art’s Artisan Market, and you find the perfect piece. But then reality hits — there’s no way that gorgeous bowl or substantial cutting board is fitting in your carry-on, and you’re already pushing the weight limit on your checked bag.
Here’s the secret that savvy travelers have figured out: buy here, ship home.
At every festival and market we attend, we come prepared with shipping materials and a partnership with reliable carriers. That beautiful Australian Red Gum Burl Bowl that caught your eye? We can have it carefully packaged and on its way to your door while you’re still enjoying your trip.
That’s the magic of shipping festival finds. When your package arrives at home, it brings back all those good memories of discovery, of the conversation you had with the artist, of that moment when you knew something was meant to be yours.
We’ve shipped everywhere (in the US) — from Alaska to Florida, from tiny mountain towns to major cities. Each package is carefully wrapped, with extra attention paid to protecting delicate resin work and preserving the wood’s finish. We want your piece to arrive in the same condition as when you first fell in love with it.
The practical benefits are obvious: no airline baggage fees, no worrying about TSA restrictions, no trying to fit a round bowl into a square suitcase. But there’s an unexpected bonus too — the anticipation. There’s something wonderful about coming home from a trip and knowing that in a few days, a little piece of that adventure will arrive at your door.
So next time you’re traveling and find yourself at an artisan market, don’t let logistics stop you from bringing home something special. Travel light, shop with your heart, and let us handle the rest. Your future self will thank you when that carefully packed reminder of a perfect day shows up on your doorstep.
