Crafty Craft Shows

This past weekend I worked at three separate events. On Friday I visited my friends at Splurge and set up a booth for 2nd Friday Art Walk & Sidewalk Sale. On Saturday I set up a tent at the Lake Oswego Farmers Market, and on Sunday I worked at my first ever Crafty Wonderland sale. It was a little tiring to say the least, but it was also really great to be working with some very talented local artists. I am always inspired when I come home from an event, so I wanted to share some of the great little items that I acquired this weekend.

The first item I acquired was from Nate Bagley of Talitha Leather. His table was set up directly across from me at the Crafty Wonderland sale, and I couldn't help looking at his bags all day long. They are beautifully handcrafted leather bags, made in a variety of colors and styles. The red triangle bag was ultimately my favorite, and it will now be seen sporting around town on my shoulder.


The second item that I acquired this weekend is this absolutely gorgeous necklace from Amy Olson. Amy was my neighbor at the Crafty Wonderland sale, so I learned a lot about her jewelry and design aesthetic. Her jewelry is very feminine, and she uses a variety of components including sterling silver, gold, vintage brass, semi-precious gemstones, and other various vintage pieces. You can find Amy's jewelry on her website or you can meet her in person at the Handmade Northwest event to be held at Montgomery Park, October 14th and 15th from 9am to 4pm.

The last item that I acquired this weekend is a gift for my girlfriends new baby boy. I just could not resist this adorable hat made by Thinking Mama. This little hat is made from a recycled sweater, and it is the softest, sweetest little baby item ever. I cannot wait to see it on my friends new little baby.




And as for new B Hive Designs shirts, I have a few new items for the fall, and a few old favorites as well. I will be listing more long sleeve shirts on my website within the week. By the way, wouldn't this top look great on a mama with her baby wearing the little Thinking Mama hat!!


Happy Happy Fall!
