Wow--what an incredible turnout at this past weekend's 5th annual Holiday Craftacular! We were honored to be part of it this year for the first time ever, and hope to make it an annual occassion. THANK YOU to everyone who came to check it out -- especially to those who took home some locally handcrafted merchandise!

For info on any of the goodies you saw at Dairy Air Collective's booth, please convo us through our Etsy page.

Before the doors opened for business, a lined formed down the block!

Shopping an alternative event like the Craftacular does us all a favor by supporting independent entrepreneurs and the local economy.

Dairy Air Collective was busy!

Two of these women took home earrings by shortblackdog designs.

Patti's sculpted record bowls were a hit!

Extra special thanks to Barbara, Kaya, Patti, Rebecca & Paul -- couldn't have done it without you!

Here's examples of earrings & rings I've made for the upcoming holiday season sales. They're sterling silver and created using a multi-step process. My inspiration comes from traditional Norwegian jewelry -- putting a modern twist on the Solje style (meant to ward off illness...and trolls).
