We need to talk about Forestnook. 🦋

Glass terrariums. Butterfly domes. Dried flowers, shells, moss, and things that make you go "wait... what IS that and why do I need it immediately?"

Forestnook is a BRAND NEW vendor joining the BAM family this fall and she is going straight into Oddities Alley where she belongs. These pieces are the kind of thing you cannot find anywhere else — and yes, you will absolutely be taking one home.

Come welcome her to the family on September 26th! First timers deserve ALL the love. 🙌

Warning: Robin Marie Studio artwork may cause you to stop dead in your tracks, stare for an uncomfortable amount of time, and then buy something you didn't plan on buying. 👀

We're not sorry.

Robin Marie is one of our vendors you do NOT want to walk past on September 26th. Dogs. Cats. Bats. Hummingbirds. Peace signs. All wrapped up in the most gorgeous silhouette art you've ever seen. New faces, old favorites — BAM has got it ALL this year. Vintage finds, handmade goods, local makers, food trucks, and live music all in one place.

Lil C’s Mini Cheesecakes are back at BAM, and by now they’re basically part of the family.

They’ve been with us for the past couple of years, and we are always ridiculously happy to see them roll back into the alley with those tiny little cheesecakes that somehow cause very big decisions.

Devil’s Food Cake, Dulce de Leche, Apple Cider, Caramel Pecan, Cran-Apple Whiskey… choosing one is apparently not the plan.

We’re so happy to have Lil C’s back for another BAM.
