Yep, it’s that time again. We’re doing another Craft & Trade Moon Market November 12, 2026 at Quest Archery in Worcester (The Night Market is us, y’all). So who the hell are we featuring this time? Well the golden oldies and a few new faces with room for anyone who wants to jump onboard and go vibe for the night.
But while we wait, let’s whet some appetites and get the menu on deck for the evening’s activities, shall we?
For Beverages
First up, we have refreshments in various forms. From complementary beer, wines (red and white), non-alcoholic beers, water, coffee and herbal blends for those who just want a nice “ahhh” to your evening.
Refreshments
Usually served as some for of baked good like cookies or cupcakes. For those who want a little extra, well don’t worry about that, we’ve got that covered too.
For Our Main Courses & Attractions
For our main courses, we’ll start with:
Adriana Cucchi | Charcuterie, Tres Leches & More
Adriana joined us for the first time during our Take Two swing on October 1. She carefully and meticulously creates incredible snacks and desserts. Her biggest hit among the mini-charcuteries were the Tres Leches. Seriously ,the flew off the table.
PenguinCello | Self-Care & Community Vibes
An original character in her own right, and the second to sign on to the Moon Markets ever, we have Ashley Stolitza. While Ashley of PenguinCello doesn’t have items to sell, her spot if always racked with fun. From stickers, to public thought boards (the ones with pens and sticky notes), to community art and more, there’s always some way to leave your mark where the Penguin plays.
Rat (The Artist) | Mini, Hand-Painted Scenes
An eclectic new soul, the artist known as “Rat” takes his spot with beautiful artist minis. With watercolors on parched papers, intricate detail and a serenity that makes your mind unwind, Rat’s sure to take you to places beyond your daily chills, to splended serenity.
Foolish Form | Artistic 3D Designs & Prints
Another newcomer to the ShortMerc field is Foolish Form by Santana. Santana balances light and comical with dense and gothically alluring through every single one of his prints. From Nordic masks to gothic reflections all the way to the humorous Mr. Stiffy, Santana’s Foolish Form designs are always sure to thrill.
Well-Worn Groove | Reading, Energetic Mellow & Art
Next up, we have another lovely returning golden oldie: Chris Miller, the Wizard of the Well-Worn Groove. Chris helps folks rebalance themselves and find alignment through energetic artwork, card readings and genuine energetic connection.
Spenceroni of Spencer Vann Media | DJ Extraordinaire
Another long-time support of ShortMerc and the Moon Markets is Spencer Vann AKA Spenceroni. Spence has been helping us turn up the beats and vibe right with his dense sets of vibe-charging bass and movement inducing melodies. And he’s only bringing more hammershock to this next Craft & Trade Moon Market.
Amanda of Quest | Awesome Bobbles & Fun Desk Usables
Amanda’s more than just our beloved host for the evening, she’s also a vendor. Enjoy her incredibly unique and fun nostalgia-inducing pens, cutters and other bobbles. Depending on where the curiosity and stock fun takes her, she’s always got something enjoyable to bring out the kid in you while making the adult calm down and enjoy the evening.
sins & scents | The Scents of the Story
A ShortMerc project, sins & scents wll be bringing more Balance of Sins inspired candles, wax melts and sprays. Probably a book or two for those of you interested in the full view of the immersion. As is always the way, beeswax is triple filtered, wooden wicks are FSC certified and the oils used are clean-burning. So come on down and take a sniff.
ShortMerc | Artisan Goods & Scents
And lastly, from the depths of the ShortMerc artist files and gift shop catalog comes resin goods usable at home or wherever you might need them, unique curios and a few good smells to round out the scent profile for the evening. There’s also talk of some fan favorites, like tables and witch doctor windows, returning to the stock yard.
We’ll also be sporting games, raffles with items provided by our vendors and low-key sneak contests.
The full cast of LemonSteam will be poking around enjoying the evening as folks showing up as soon as the doors open show off (or pick up) their archery skills at the range between 7P and 9P. Beats and melodies spin all night and refreshments keep going until we run out (and then get more). Vendors will be primed and ready, but let’s not forget what the night is truly about: Vibing and mellowing with the folks around us.
Admission is free as always and 18+ with a need for a mellow night is the only requirement we’ve got (other than no drinking and shooting – shoot, then drink.).
Stoked to see you there.
Jess AKA the Merc
