The Bizarre Bazaar’s 20th

Spring Market, a signatureevent arriving just in time

for Easter, returns to the

Richmond Raceway Complex 

March 30 to April 1. In this

beloved springtime celebra-

tion, more than 275 juried

exhibitors will set up their

booths for an upscale, unique

and diverse shopping experi-

ence.

“We look for high-qual-

ity products from near and

far,” said Buff Ramsey, a

staff member at the Bizarre

Bazaar. “We try to have an

ever-changing mix of arti-

sans along with the favorites.

It is not a craft show or a gift

show. It’s a mixed-media

show.”

The Bizarre Bazaar®

has been recognized in

many prestigious publica-

tions, including “The Crafts

Report Magazine”. This year,

“Sunshine Artists Maga-

zine” ranked the show #6 of 

the 200 Best Shows in the

country. Locally, “Richmond

Magazine” has named The

Bizarre Bazaar’s Christmas

Collection “Richmond’s Best

Annual Shopping Event” and“Richmond’s Best Church or

Community Event”.

For the droves that flock 

to the Christmas Collection,

the 20th Spring Market will

have something for everyone

– one-of-a-kind offerings

from gourmet food and

cookbooks to fine linens,

designer clothing, toys, fine

crafts and artwork, decora-

tive home accessories and

 jewelry and more.

“The Bizarre Bazaar

supports more than 35 local

non-profit organizations

at each show,” added Show 

Promoter Alice Siegel. “We

do a tremendous amount of 

travel to seek out high-caliber

and creative booths for ourshows.”

With aisles lined with

eclectic, handcrafted home-

made goods, visitors can

take home the perfect gifts

for Easter baskets, Mother’s

and Father’s Day, gradua-

tions, birthdays and even

bridal and baby showers.

This collection highlights

a wide array of whimsical

garden art, outdoor furniture

and seasonal accessories to

celebrate and springboard

spring fever.

BIZARRE

BAZAAR ® 

THE SPRING MARKET 

It’s time to throw open the win-

dows, let in fresh air and start anew. It’s

time to call Stevens Jewelers to book 

 your appointment for their famous

Spring 2012 Makeover Event, the two-

day opportunity where out-of-date

pieces come back to life as today’s fash-

ion-forward looks. And with Stevens’

hefty 30 percent discount, you’ll be

bursting into bloom without breaking

the bank.

“It’s truly a transformation to be-

hold as worn old pieces become new,”

explained Don Stevens, owner of the

beloved store on West Broad Street and

Cox Road, across from Innsbrook. “It’s

a wonderful moment when customers

see their transformed pieces and say, ‘Inever thought it could look so beauti-

ful!’”

Proud of his store’s generations-

long reputation for high quality, Don is

the inspired impresario of the Make-

over Event.

“Now is the time to upgrade or

update,” he urged. “Open your dresser

drawers or go through your vault and

book a time to bring in your old or

worn pieces. Our designers and experts

are ready to help you find beautiful new 

ways to maximize their beauty and

value.”

“Many customers come in with

out-of-date wedding sets or family 

pieces,” pointed out store managerSusan Ware. “We’ll show you fresh,

imaginative ways to showcase them

into stylish engagement rings, wed-

ding rings, fancy and right-hand rings,

pendants, earrings and more.”

Tired of yellow gold? Let Stevens

Jewelers mount your gems in fashion-

able platinum, 18-karat white gold or

14-karat gold. “We look forward to

showing you the latest styles such as

Halos, Clusters, Split Shanks, Filigrees

and more,” explained Don. “Or perhaps

a totally custom-made piece has been

 your dream? Our talented designers and

craftspeople can create that for you.”

The Makeover Event is also a won-

derful opportunity to add value with

additional stones — such as to create

a desirable “Past, Present, and Future”

ring. Stevens Jewelers is renowned forits selection of diamonds in colors as

glorious as Spring itself: vibrant Yellow,

Blue, and Champagne colorings in the

sought-after Round Brilliant cut.

With the generous Makeover Event

30 percent discount on all diamonds,

gemstones and mountings, your jew-

elry dreams become a reality.

“You’ll reap the benefit of amaz-

ing buys on rubies, sapphires, emer-

alds, diamonds and more,” promised

Don. “And we offer different payment

options: major credit cards, our own

in-house credit with no finance charge

for approved credit up to 12 months

and interest-free layaway.”

Call Stevens Jewelry now at (804)

527-2890 to reserve your appointment

— or with any questions.

“All finished pieces receive a free

appraisal, a $60 value,” said Don. “And

for everyone keeping an appointment,

we’re giving away a one-carat semi-

precious gemstone. It’s Stevens’ way of 

welcoming you to the Spring Makeover

Event.”

Ah, Spring! The time of fresh beginnings — the time to let Stevens Jewelers breathe new life into your worn or weary jewelry — while saving you a bundle, too.

“Worn, exhausted mountings are not safe for your precious diamonds andgemstones,” advised Susan Ware (left) with Linda Stevens. “At the MakeoverEvent, we’ll transform your dated pieces into exciting contemporary looks.”

5 percent of the proceeds of the Spring Makeover Event to the
