Cavalcade is a wife and husband team that can't stop making stuff. She uses fabric and pearls, he uses wood and leather. He likes the original, she likes the funky. Pillows, rope scarves, belts in different styles, and (not your momma's) cutlery blocks.
I make to-die-for salsa, shadow box art, felted coin purses, crochet hooks carved out of branches and knitting needles turned from local wood.
I make feisty art dolls with pockets and snaps, stained glass mirrors, with sun, stars, and phases of the moon themes. Life is oh-so-beautiful when as many aspects as possible can be hand-crafted and artistic!
No one is perfect, but we are all beautiful. These pendants give the feeling of being beautiful, unique and rough around the edges all at the same time. My work reflects the wonderful, flawed idiosyncrasies in us all. And it makes us breath-taking. I make hand melted, hand stamped pendants. There are a variety of fonts and types, ranging from chunky and “wonky” to tiny and sophisticated. As you can’t control where the metal flows when you stamp them, they are each different and no two can be exactly alike. I am very passionate about the charm and individuality these pendants represent.

I am a wool FANATIC and make unique items like handbags, pincushions, banners, owls and more beautifully handcrafted treasures using vintage-inspired fabrics and upcycled 100% wool that I've felted myself. It is a Thelma’s Handmade tradition that each piece has some element of upcycled felted wool!
I like to make bags made from old pairs of pants. I make soft toys- some rattle some don't. I have a new design for the rattles that sold so well at the last bazaar and I am working on a new toy design that will be better for small babies. I also make hot pads and embroider kids T-shirts. I might even pull out some other new ideas by the time May gets here...
I make purses and wallets. I love making things that make others happy and everybody loves a cute purse or wallet! My purses are hobo-style with rounded bottoms and a single interior pocket. My tri-fold wallets have six credit card pockets and three other check book sized pockets. Each purse and wallet is one-of-a-kind and made from a wide variety of colorful modern fabrics. I've surely got something to appeal to every taste!
