Greetings Faithful followers! I am quite excited to bring you the following photos taken literally minutes ago! Like many of you, I try to make as few stops as possible during my holiday shopping sojourn. Searching for just the right items (unique, affordable, interesting) can be a tall order. Well, not today OR tomorrow! Just visit the North Market Holiday Open House and Craft Extravganza. Local residents in Columbus can tell you how scrumptious the food offerings are within this unassuming building. The crowds and filled parking lot can also attest to this fact.
However, now is the "best-ever" time to visit since 50 artisans of handcrafted wares have set up in the upstairs section to consolidate your shopping experience. We're talking independent labels, small businesses and budding talent! You will find screenprinted tees, baby layettes and outfits, handrolled polymer clay buttons and pendants, designer handbags from upcycled materials, vintage fabrics, felted pins and rings, clay covered knobs, pens, tins, etc. There's also dazzling stone cut and set in sterling...glittery crystals wired together with shots of color... its an event sure to stimulate all your senses!
Remember, buying local and buying handmade also helps the economy :-) It's not too late for you to check this awesome event out. Here are further details and a peek at some of our teammates making us proud.


Location: 59 Spruce St. Columbus, OH Sat 12/5 hours 8am to 5pm Sun 12/6 12pm to 5pm

Thursday's Featured item of the day from AmyD

Author jannypie Category , , , , , ,




One of the hippest members of our team is an uber-talented mama named Amy D. This crafty chica even has her own brick and mortar storefront in addition to her etsy shop. She's a dynamo with a sewing machine and serger.

Amy claims she has been sewing since 8th grade home ec class (oh I remember those days...) and was encouraged to create by both her mother and grandmother. Her original handmade clothing for the family is usually made with recycled materials. You really can't beat the way she gives new life to these threads...increasing their cool quotient along the way.

In addition to clothing (skirts, dresses, t's, aprons, etc), Amy also offers felt coffee cozies and pins. The felt she uses is made from recycled soda bottles. So, protect your hands from that simmering beverage AND help the environment.

Here is a link to Amy's etsy storefront and also her shop address so you can browse through her plentiful inventory in person! Have a great day.

Wednesday Item of the day from Triple Nine

Author jannypie Category , , , ,


Newer team member, Brandi, is the creative force behind etsy shop Triple Nine. Here is an excerpt from her self-penned profile...


My passion is creating things in general. I literally feel ill if it has been too long since I have made something. I mostly channel that passion into photography, design, and sewing. I also like to knit, paint, draw, and write. I get inspired by just seeing good design, but also by nature, and the books/movies/music I experience.


My biggest inspiration though is probably my daughter. My ultimate dream in life is to work from home just making things! And maybe doing some freelance graphic design and photography work. Though I will scream if I ever have to do another senior picture!


As far as materials go right now I am really into felt. I love how versatile it is and the endless possibilities of it. However, I love to experiment with all fabric and I plan on incorporating some of my more traditional fabric creations into the shop also.
