dallas russell / easily amused

Inspired by variety, Dallas never makes the same thing twice. She loves to sew and embroider; she dabbles in crocheting, she beads and makes jewelry. So hurry, hurry, hurry, step right up and get your ticket for the imagination contortionist and all of her wonderful oddities. Easily Amused gifts are intended for the frequently exuberant, the blatantly giddy, the often nostalgic and, of course, the easily amused. If you miss the attention to detail of yesteryear Dallas is your gal; her one of a kind creations are great to have and share.

We sell all-natural and very moisturizing handmade soaps, lotion, body butter, lip balms and bath salts. Instead of cleansing powered by detergent additives, our handmade soap cleanses purely because it’s a well formulated balance of oils and water joined together in a chemical reaction discovered hundreds of years ago. Our soaps are made and cut by hand so every bar has a bit of character all its own. They leave your skin feeling smooth and nourished with the moisturizing effects of natural oils.We are a local company-based in Salt Lake, and our products have been very popular since we opened for business in November of 2010.

Noah Schmitz

   

Hi! My name is Noah Schmitz. I am fourteen years old. I have always wanted to be a computer guy like my Dad when I grow up. A few years ago I built my own computer out of spare parts, but it wasn't very fast. I have been saving my money to buy my own computer for a couple of years now, and last summer I came up with the idea that I could make rubber band guns to sell. I sold some at farmer's markets and festivals this summer, and am well on my way to meeting my goal. Thank you.

Reed Sisters

   

We are the Reed Sisters, last year there were 2 of us, but this year we are going to let our little sister in on the business as well. Here is a little bit about us:

Bronwyn Reed: I am the oldest sister, I love sock monkeys, Paris and most anything vintage. I like to be in musicals and I take voice lessons. I am on a swim team and in my spare time I love to craft with my mom and sisters. I am 10. Bronwyn is going to make some masks that she has an idea for.

Brooklyn Reed: I am the middle sister. I love to play school and I want to be a second grade teacher someday. I also take ballet and was just cast in the "Nutcracker" so I am in rehearsals for that. I love to draw and write notes. I also love to craft with my mom and sisters. I am 7.  Brooklyn and Bella will also be making some fairy wands.

Bella Reed: I am the youngest sister. I love to swim and play soccer. I also love to glue and make things. I am happy that my older sisters are letting me in on their little business this year. I am 5.  The three of us will be making bottle cap necklaces.

Zoe Jacobson & Jeremy Josephson | Ruby Market

"It is the highlight of our year when the Beehive Bazaar time comes around. We are so inspired by the fabulous artists in our area that we are usually teeming with great ideas to bring to the event. This year we are trying to stretch a little more beyond the border with paper mache and thrift store repurposing. Of course, we can't help but add some of our brightly colored creations, such as Jeremy's "Wonderland" clips or Zoe's fabric birds. We also like to include some the eclectic ideas that are "Oh so perfect" for that special person! We hope to see you there." Visit us here.

Suzanne Clements | Sorry Clementine

I make really cute handmade clothing. Each piece is individually designed and hand sewn by me. I dont make any duplicates! My designs are modern with a little touch of whimsy and are really visually interesting while being totally wearable. I also screenprint womens/mens/children's clothing and make one-of-a-kind headbands. Visit me here.

Stacey Foster | Verla Ivans

I make whatever I'm obsessing over at the moment. Recently, that has included wooden arrows for home decor, interchangeable beaded pendants, vintage Saltair swim basket tag necklaces, simple scarves out of vintage fabrics, greeting cards made out of gel medium image transfers, mini silk notebooks, vintage knife necklaces, beehive Christmas ornaments and arrow necklaces. I worked in LA for five years for a jewelry designer and then a stationery studio and have just recently begun to venture outon my own, with the Salt Lake City valley and mountains as my current inspiration.

Samantha Kelly | Can You Hear Me

I offer fine art prints and original paintings. When I was little, I would ask my mom to draw me pictures of 'merdalmations' (dalmation + mermaid tail). Since then I've graduated in visual arts and went on to earn a Masters in Art Therapy Counseling. I am currently working as both an art therapist and an artist. Art is a form of communication and this is my visual language. Can you hear me? Visit me here.

Rachel Schutz | Darlybird

I love to find vintage pieces and turn them into simple, yet beautiful and bright jewelry. You'll find earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hair accessories----mostly containing vintage pieces. I love happy colors, delicate flowers. I'm trying to push myself in the design sense to make things more unexpected. I just returned from NYC, where I purchased thousands of vintage Czech and Swarovski glass stones. I'm excited to incorporate those into my designs. Visit me here.

Paula Hogan | Compelled To Craft

I make ironing board covers out of a beautiful array of cotton fabrics, intended to help beautify a sometimes tedious chore. I also make board pads as well as countertop ironing pads for those who don't want or don't have an ironing board. I also make oilcloth lunch sacks and food bags. Visit me here.

Beccy Bingham | Paperclip Studio

I make things for women using vintage or re-purposed items. Lately I've been experimenting with textiles. The necklaces I've been making are all dipped in enamel, which changes the feel and texture of the textile. I also have been making skirts and belts with re-purposed materials. The headbands I'm making all use vintage lace and wool. Visit me here.

Nikki Jackson | Crimson Digit

I love stained glass and the light/color it brings to a room-but since it isn’t practical for us all to have a cathedral window in our house, I try and make fun and versatile items so it is possible for anyone to enjoy glass!
