Upcoming Events
Moth Market- Rise of the Living Dead
Moth Market Oddities at the Boone County Fairgrounds is where the strange and spectacular come out to play. Imagine a carnival of curiosities: vintage apothecary jars, taxidermy with personality, hand-forged jewelry, eerie stationery, glow-in-the-dark art, and cabinets of tiny, wonderful oddities laid out under strings of warm lights. It’s a place for collectors, makers, and anyone who loves the unusual.
We’ll be there—Bug Thugs Creations—tabling among the moth wings and moonlit curios. Stop by to browse our handcrafted pieces, see fresh bug-inspired art, and pick up limited-edition enamel pins, patches, and prints. We love talking shop about materials, design stories, and the best ways to display tiny treasures. Expect playful designs, a few delightful surprises tucked into our booth, and friendly faces ready to help you find something that feels like it was made just for you.
What to bring: cash (some vendors prefer it), an open mind, and a camera—this event is made for photos. What to expect: unique finds, curious conversations, and a cozy, slightly otherworldly vibe. Come say hi at Bug Thugs Creations—we’ll have new pieces and our usual batch of weirdly wonderful favorites waiting.
Moth Market: Apocalypse
Come and see us at the Moth Market: Apocalypse — an end-of-the-world pop-up full of beautiful, eerie, and utterly unique pieces.
We’ll be showcasing a wide array of insect displays, each lovingly preserved and mounted in hand-crafted oak shadow boxes. Expect:
Dramatic moth arrangements with iridescent wings and apocalyptic vibes
Mixed-species tableaux that feel like relics from a future fossil bed
Curated diptychs and triptychs perfect for mantel, wall, or the bunker
Custom commissions for collectors who want something truly one-of-a-kind
Every shadow box is crafted from solid oak, finished by hand, and wired for easy hanging. Insects are ethically sourced and mounted with archival materials so your piece will last through many doomsdays to come.
Find us at the Moth Market: Apocalypse for close-up views, framing options, and show-only pieces. Bring a friend, bring a flashlight, bring your apocalypse aesthetic. We can’t wait to share these tiny, winged wonders with you.
