The Merchant’s Bazaar
Our Vending Bazaar is an elegant row of hotel rooms located on our first floor, beginning right near the event space and quite close to the main action of the Fair. Spots are currently sold out as of November 10th, 2009. If you’d like to get on the mailing list for next year, please email steamfairvendors@gmail.com for vending application and information.
We are pleased to announce to you, your Merchants!
Ever look at old photographs in your family’s albums, look at what you’re wearing, and realize… you kind of look like you stepped out of you great-grandparents’ time? Here is a fabulous chance to capture that image for yourself and your family! RA Friedman of Tsirkus Fotografika will be on-site offering a chance to have your image captured in a vintage photograph! Images are taken with old-style silver instant film, hot lighting and a camera that dates from the 1940’s (that’s only a slight upgrade from original Graflex large-format SLR of 1910!)
Whether you’re a re-enactor or living historian who is looking for well constructed period clothing Festooned Butterfly is all about being decorated beautifully with delightful and eye catching fabrics. Hand-crafted, custom made quality apparel for all shapes and sizes, children and adult. Of particular note are their delightful corsets and spats. FS also has a selection of dresses, bustles, and old fashioned undergarments! Scandalous!
Alchemy brings ritual needs and other goodies for those of us in the cheap seats. Featuring herbs, oils, crystals, stones, and more. But this merchant is not only for the magical at heart, you know! They have also for your approval selections of fine teas, potpourri, and spice blends that would go well on a home-cooked meal in this time or any other!
Griffon’s Claw Armoury is proud to offer you a variety of swords, knives, along with steampunk friendly pouches, sunglasses, and watches. Their weaponry comes in a variety of styles, including battle ready and practice. This merchant believe that customers shouldn’t have to break the bank to have a really nice collection of medieval items- and we heartily agree.
Mad scientists stolen all your town’s thunderstorms? Irish gypsy put a curse on your automobile? Or maybe you’re trying to dream up the design for your next big outfit but the images just won’t stick! Friend, it sounds like you need some help from Sunshine’ Moonlight! Handcrafted candles, soaps, bath salts, oils, sugar scrubs. So the next time you need a little mystical aid, they’ll leave the light on for you.
Lara Corsets & Gowns will woo you with her historically accurate and inspired corsets, gowns, millinery, and accessories. This NYC merchant normally takes customers by appointment only, so we are honored to have her. Victorian and Edwardian corsets abound! With 15th century designs right through the 1950s, Lara’s corsets will leave men drooling and women reaching for their reticules.
Definitely putting the punk in steampunk, Delicious offers all kinds of shnazzy steampunk gear and garb. Mini-skirt style riding skirts and leather revolutionary pants to circuspunk styles, lacy lingerie and garter belts, blazers and bloomers, and long and short spats. These styles are not for the faint of heart!
Trying to save the world, one craft at a time, by creating unique, repurposed handmade goods, Barker’s Herbs & Heirlooms views the world through brass goggles with upcycled lenses to help others see the potential beauty in their trash. You will be able to find a beautiful selection of earrings featuring absinthe bottles, Charlie Chaplin and Jules Verne images, Bettie Page pin-ups and much more!
