I make absolutely delicious carmel apples, one taste and you can't help but have more! I also have some other wonderful treats in small and yummy sizes. These are the perfect thing to munch on while shopping.

This winter I've readied some new creations of widely varying degrees of practicality and palaver: from rabbits and birds and things of this earth to ghosties and monsters and creatures undiscovered. I've also been reclaiming yarns of sweaters and afghans from days gone by and revitalizing those forgotten fibers into deliciously fat, cozy scarf-wares.
Briana Wright
Fabric is the inspiration. I buy my fabric from antique stores in my home state of Washington. When I discover a beautiful fabric I immediately imagine the wonderful creations I could make with it. I like to make laptop covers, headbands, dresses, skirts, bags, pillows, and quilts.

Lately I’ve been drawing pictures, mostly of forests and mushrooms and little girls and robots…things that make me happy! I will have framed pictures for sale, and have also transferred some drawings to screens to print. I will be printing deer, elephants, mushrooms and robots onto stockings, leggings, dresses, scarves and cards. I’ll probably find ways to incorporate vintage trimmings and buttons onto them, as I’ve been stocking up. I can’t wait!
Michele Taylor | Bijou Babes
I make a variety of items which include: wood, metal, resin, glass, and bottle cap necklaces, collage, transfer and painting canvas art work, funky hair clips for adults and children, colorful tutus, unique princess accessories, covered button earrings rings and pins, Christmas ornaments and decorations. I do this because I need to join an artists support group. I just can't stop!
Jeremy Josephson & Zoe Jacobson | Ruby Market
Is there such a thing as "Creativity ADD"? If so, we have it!! We love to make and create in so many different ways that we can hardly focus on one medium. Of course, we refer to each other as "genius" but that is only because we share the same taste. :) Hopefully you will like our taste too! Visit me!

I make one-of-a-kind Christmas tree skirts and Christmas stockings out of vintage and retro fabrics. I love to use vintage trims, ric rac, and pom poms. This year I will have some surprising new designs made out of mens ties and other fun items. Come and get an original that no one else will have!
Gentry Blackburn | Frosty Darling
Using felt and vintage fabrics, I make a variety of colorful items such as stuffed animals, pillows and accessories. In my work I walk the line between bold and fun and comforting and nostalgic. Lately I've been making kitschy Utah souvenirs. Provo Pride! Visit me!
Emily Burnett | Zeene Designs
I make uber-cool accessories out of recycled materials. My bracelets are made primarily out of old magazine pages and I have a new line (bracelets for now and purses/pocketbooks/notebooks to come) made out of bike tire inner tubes. I also incorporate old zipper pulls into some accessories. I describe my style as a mixture of industrial/ethnic/chic and design for both men and women. While much of my line's appeal is that is recycled, people love it for it's originality and uniqueness. I like creating wearable fashion from things that otherwise end up in the garbage! Visit me!
Samantha Card | Can You Hear Me?
When I was little, I would ask my mom to draw me pictures of 'merdalmations' (dalmation + mermaid tail). Since then I've graduated from BYU in visual arts, emphasizing in painting and drawing. In June, I finished my Master's degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Marylhurst University. Today, I continue to paint and make prints of my artwork. Art is a form of communication and this is my visual language. Can you hear me?

I mostly make handmade blank journals, because I feel like there is no better way to express your feelings and emotions than on a blank page.

I'll be bring along more fancy hair pins as well as some jewelry too! Visit me!

JAPANESE FABRIC COVERED BUTTONS- so you can add a little flare to your stuff. SKIRTS & SHIRTS- what's better than a new skirt or a shirt? an upcycled one! BIBS, BLANKETS, BURP CLOTHS- spit up, warmth & cleaner clothes. need I say more... BIRD & MUSTACHE PILLOWS- making the couch a little more inviting.
Debbie Thompson | Tom Design
Hello, my name is Debbie Thompson. I'm an elementary art teacher by day and a jewelry maker by night! I mostly make bright, bold, vintage inspired jewelry with antiqued metals, lockets, and flowers. My jewelry includes necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.

Sycamore Street Press
Sycamore Street Press is the full-time family business of Kirk and Eva Jorgensen. We are dedicated to combining fresh designs, sustainable methods, and the vintage charm of letterpress printing. We collaborate with a few of our friends to create the designs for our cards, posters, gift tags, frame mats, fortune tellers, etc... Then Kirk and I crank each item through our Vandercook press by hand to achieve the texture and impression that letterpress is known for. We love the creative, collaborative nature of our work and we love sharing the beauty of letterpress with others!
Dave Hamilton | Hamilton’s Handmade Furniture
I build VERY affordable furniture...bookcases, tables, chairs, built-ins...anything someone needs me to build....I love working with wood and working with my hands...creating fun things and I feel like the things I build should last at least the same time it took for the tree to grow.
Ben Kafton | Dela Flamant
Turn it upside down. Stretch it. Shrink it. Make it two-dimensional. Make it move. Make it fly. Fold it. Use a different texture. Rearrange the elements. Make it look futuristic....
With each piece I create, I try to gain ideas and ask myself how I am going to follow thru and make the finished piece the most unique and interesting that it can be.
Inspired by everything from bauhaus graphic design, The Beatles, to Wes Anderson films. I mainly screen print t-shirts, fabric, wood and paper. I also make backpacks and other bags using my own patterns and design.
Ashley MacKay & Camille Anderson | Boots To The Moon
Ashley: I create because I like things that don't exist. I reuse things that have meaning to me, like skirts out of my Grandpa's old work shirts. I print cards because I like working with my hands, and who hasn't needed a Get Well Soon Broken Heart card?
Camille: I make things out of fabric: quilts, quiet books, and clock pillows for children. For adults: fabric box sets, Children Kids plushies, and Christmas collection including stockings, ornaments, wreathes, and Tiger Fire Christmas Album (in this case I made something out of music). I do it because I like creation.
