A Creative Events Forecast for 2026

Hello, Beautiful Friends,   A year of Creative Markets is here!  Here is a forecast of events for 2026. As my time at Oceanside Creative Collective comes to an end in February, I will still be out and about, bringing art and color to my corner of the world. I will be participating in at least one market a month for most of the year, where I will be offering new scarves, mugs, and yearly planners, along with new hand-painted greeting cards. The first event will be in the Artist Alley in Oceanside, right next to City Hall and the Oceanside Library. If you couldn't join me last year, you will have plenty of chances to stop by and enjoy live music, local art, and creative activities this year. The second event will be at the Lake San Marcos Pavilion. This one is perfectly timed to shop for Mother's Day, Spring Birthdays, Graduations, etc. Make sure to stop by Amalfi restaurant right next door for a snack by the lake! You can view the flyers below. Save the Dates! (tentative Lake San Marcos date) I'd love to see you there. What else is happening? • Visit my Etsy Shop right now to see new offerings, such as journals, planners, and mugs. If you hurry, you can catch the tail end of the flash sale that is happening now! • Check my website this week for the new Spring SCIARPA! Scarf Catalog to drop. I will have fresh new Spring and Summer designs available. This also means that some of your favorite Fall and Winter designs will be retiring for the season. Grab them before Wednesday, to avoid missing out! Also, watch for another newsletter in February - I have some really exciting news to share about a totally new creative endeavor that I have been working on. Stay tuned... Peace, Love, and Creativity, Jodi
