Heritage Spring Faire Vendor Profiles

The Spring Heritage Faire is swiftly approaching and I haven't yet named the rest of the vendors. 

Here are the remaining vendors of the show.

First off today is a gal with enormous talent.  She creates some amazing heirloom quality jewelry.  She uses lots of old vintage jewelry and sometimes throws in some unexpected bits and pieces of other things to create some really great pieces.

Let me introduce...  Rebecca of

That Jewelry Girl

My mission is to inspire beauty, passion and life, one necklace at a time!

Just a little note on beauty: I see beauty all around me... in everything. I believe that you can find healing through beauty. Beauty inspires passion. Beauty draws us together when nothing else can. Beauty brings tears to our eyes and takes our breath away.

FIND BEAUTY EVERY DAY!

Her online shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/thatjewelrygirl

My next vendor to introduce is...
Jana Gottfried

Jana creates hand knit felted handbags and hats. She uses 100% wool in each item she creates.  In using 100% wool the product is good for you and good for the environment. Wool that is condensed into felt will last a lifetime.  Wool is also a renewable and sustainable material. Jana likes to consider herself a conscientious consumer, and she is trying to leave a smaller footprint on this planet we all share. So, with a sense of responsibility, Jana offers you a wonderful "green" wares line that is functional, fashionable, and sustainable. 
Here is a look at what she will be offering at our spring faire...

Speaking of fashion my next vendor that I would like to introduce is...

Carol Curtis

Carol is a local seamstress that has taken kitchen fashion to a new level.  She has the most adorable kitchen aprons that she changes with the seasons.  She also offers a large selection of handmade soaps and fun little seasonal pillows and home accessories.

Here is a look at her summer line...

  Carol  offers her current line at these local shops

American Country Mercantile.

Aunt Bee's House

I am so excited for this show there are so many really creative gals that are joining us another on the list is

Janet from Whatevers

She has aptly named herself as she carries little bits and pieces of whatever.  I simply LOVED her fall and christmas line and am really looking forward to what she brings in for spring. 

Here are some pictures of a show we did together last summer...

Whatevers is also located in the American Country Mercantile shop in Keizer

K & A
is another local crafter that has joined us I only have one photo to share but these ladies do some wonderful quality work.  They make dolls, kids accessories, and more

There are several other wonderful and creative ladies that will be joining in the show but do not have blogs, pictures, or an official name but are nonetheless on our roster for the show because they have some great wares for you to purchase. So you will have to wait and see what other surprises are in store for you on April 15th and 16th at the Mission Mill.

Also first 60 ladies in the door on Friday night will recieve a great gift bag of goodies provided by some of the vendors in the show.  Believe me when I tell you not to miss out!



Super fun day JUNKIN!!! at the Portland Swap Meet

Today I had a blast junkin with my family... each setting out for completely different purposes.  My brother was looking for industrial pieces for his room, my dad antique cars, my mom textiles and fun finds and me well I grabbed a little bit of everything!  My son hung out in the super fly wagon and organized my great purchases.  I  have been attending this HUGE swap meet ever since I was around 8 years old but never did I see the endless possibilities of materials available all in one location.  There was so many great rusty pieces, textiles, old papers and textures.  I wish I would have taken my camera and snapped some shots.   I wish I would have gotten there a little earlier because I only made it through about 1/3 of the show.

Well here is what I came away with in the end....  

 This was a fun find  a metal in that used to have Vaseline in it.  This has some really great texture and rust to it

This is a wooden book that opens up to this...

I have a secret love for old bottles I can't pass them up.  So of course I had to grab these...

I also got a really great rusty spring bench seat that I have some fun ideas for.  More to come on that idea...

To sum up the trip... well worth the drive and on my way out of the gate I found out that it's Ladies Day tomorrow and ALL ladies get free entry so maybe you want to check it out tomorrow. 

Thanks for checking it out!  More vendor profiles for the Heritage Faire to be posted soon.
