Hello Visions Friends,
You truly are our friends – and thanks to you and your continued support, we are so grateful to celebrate our 51st Anniversary in 2025! Many of you – you know who you are – have been attending and shopping Visions of Sugarplums for most of those years.
We can't wait to see you on November 6th, 7th and 8th at the Quail Hollow Swim Club. We’ll have an amazing selection of unique and handcrafted items from some of our favorite crafters, and are excited to welcome some new and very talented crafters to the mix. The quality and creativity cannot be matched anywhere else!
Most of all, we are excited to see your smiles, share some laughs, and catch up with you and your family again - because you are part of our family! Visions of Sugarplums is all about the reunion!
In a world where you can shop anywhere, thank you for continuing to shop local and supporting local women in business right here in your community! We love you for loving local!
Can't wait to celebrate our 51st with you!

Visions of Sugarplums began in 1974 by a group of moms who were very talented craftswomen. Each year, just before Christmas, they hosted an open house in their homes. As the Visions contingent of loyal shoppers grew, it mandated a move to a larger facility. Today, Quail Hollow Swim Club, conveniently located at Millbrook and Quail Hollow Drive in Midtown, has been the site of “Visions” for over 30 years. The show has grown to include many talented, fun and interesting folks. Our reputation as a one-of-a-kind show is reflected in our phenomenal growth and success. This would not be possible without some of the best crafters in the area, and an extremely loyal customer base.
One of Raleigh’s oldest holiday shows, this best kept secret is a shopping extravaganza. You can do all of your holiday shopping for truly unique gifts for everyone on your Christmas list. The moment you enter the door, our boutique design makes you think you are in a Christmas wonderland! There is always so much excitement in the air, reminiscing with old friends and making new friends.
So many of our customers shop us because they know they are getting a very high quality, hand-made item at a very reasonable price. We encourage you to support our resident artists and craftsmen by buying their locally-made items. With our wonderful selection of unique and affordable handmade gifts, you can make your hard-earned money stretch even further while investing in the community and helping to promote local women (and the occasional man) in business. PLEASE SHOP LOCAL!
As a juried show, our crafters and artists participate in Visions of Sugarplums by invitation only, but we're always trying to discover something new and unique to add. As space allows, we work very hard each year to bring in creative and talented crafters and artists with handmade products that we think our customers will love. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email us your name, email address, a description of your craft, and pictures if available.
Here's just a sampling of pictures from past shows. Every year brings even more new and exciting products!
