A few new vendors for Fall 2011!
Our Vendor list is growing daily:
- Juicytoots (Amanda Moore): Juicytoots cloth diapers (and more!) are made by a stay at home mother of 3 in Minneapolis, MN. I make diapers because I love to. I sew and knit to keep my hands busy. If you like my diapers, then that's my little contribution to the world of parenting.
- Red Wine Design: Simple curiosity about how glass is fused, a few odd pieces produced in a class, a glass (or two...) of red wine and 8 weeks later I have a kiln and am in business!
- ZippityDuda is sewing-obsessed: quilts, totes, buntings, jewelry rolls and all sorts of other fabric goodness will be available!
- Fine art flower photography by Mary B. Foster. Beautiful flower and foliage images of my garden plants on prints and note cards. Handmade crocheted accessories inspired by my flower photography.
- Skirts for Peace: It all started because I love to wear clothes and I love to eat food. When I learned that some kids don't have food or clothes, I thought maybe I could help. Now you can pick your favorite skirt and half the proceeds go to a charity! Read more.
