The end of December concludes another successful Atomic in Sarasota, Florida at the treasured Municipal Auditorium and Bay Front room. It was a pleasure to see so many new faces at this year's Atomic show and so many old friends and past vendors who traveled near and far to come shop with us this year.
Talk about community support and the appreciation of shopping local, buying handmade and supporting the indie crafters. We appreciate the droves of people who stood patiently in line. Thank you!

Carrie, Louise, Austin, Dari & Kristen, James, Mommy Gang, Village Magazine, Fringe Spa & Salon and TBEC, THANK YOU!! Without your support it would be difficult to run this show without the added exposure and street cred that you add to Atomic. I appreciate you believing in Atomic and the immense help you all gave me to get the word out about this year's Atomic show. Thank you 2013 Atomic Sponsors, you rock it to the moon and back!
