We Have Friends!
Links to some great work by people we know and
highly recommend.
Samiah - incredible clothes and tapestry coats designed and created by the gifted Samiah. Ravenswood Leather - THE most comfortable and gorgeous leather wear around. Fellowship Foundry - pewter goblets, tankards, necklaces etc with dragons, fairies, wolves, all things imaginable that last for years and years. Tickle Thy Fantasy - Barbara Butcher makes clothes of sheer (pun intended) delight. Must see in person for her very special skirts and dresses of overlays of lace and velvets and incredible trimmings. Beautiful! Nativearth - those very special shoes and boots that you see everywhere, crafted to your desire with colors, styles buttons etc. Mine were a perfect fit and oh so comfy! Oberon Leather - the best belts, buckles, tankard holders, frogs, gauntlets, check covers, clutch purse, journals, all sorts of wonderful leather extras stamped with beautiful Celtic designs and original artwork. Swadeshi Leatherworks - oh so buttery soft bags, backpacks, carry-ons, handbags and pouches. Simply the best place for a daypack, any kind of luggage, purse or handbag, ever.
Troll's Garden - just go see this site. Jerry's strange, delightfully
twisted and very cool stuff. Unicorns and Dragons - Peggy and Gordon create the most fantastic soft sculptures. Posable, original, each one unique, a must-see for any dragon or unicorn fancier. Circle Works - lovely lovely hand beaten bronze hair pretties. The Village Blacksmith - ever wonder why the name Smith is so common? Want to know why we 'hammer out a deal' ? Visit Michel and Christy's wonderful site for the answers to these and many more questions and see Michel's incredible forgework. Z'Etiquette - Beautiful and lovingly crafted carpet bags and handbags. Lots of sizes, each one has a clever space for your Victorian parasol or today's umbrella. I stick mine on a small wheel cart for classy carry on, Mary Poppins style! Victorian Traveler - Carpet bags with leather and brass fittings, tough to hurt (trust me, I have tried) even by luggage handlers. I purchased my 'big' bag from Jerry and Kathy years ago and never regretted it. Gypsy Moon - Oh, what can be said about Candace's faery light clothes? The most ethereal, feminine clothing I have ever worn. Beyond the gorgeous layers of washed silks in dresses, skirts and tops, Candace has created an Amy Brown Fairy line AND a Froud line of shimmering softness. I haunt her sale rack daily! Lost Star Jewelry: Kelly Morgen makes the finest Goddess jewelry I have ever seen (and I am at a art show almost every weekend of the year!). She hand carves ancient ivory, adds her lost wax sculpting expertise and creates wonderful things that seem created by an Elf master from one of J.R.R. Tolkien's stories. Empowering and graceful, each one unique, just visiting this site is inspiring. The Amber Wolf: Oooohhhh, these folks just make the best things ever! Hand painted tambourines, self burning incense, hand made boxes for treasures of all sorts and so much more. A must-stop at any faire to see what they have created next! Wicked Things: Karen and Brett have a first class line of all things delightful. So many of their items grace my studio and are a delight to pause and admire every time I pass by. Their website is gorgeous and a treat in itself. Altar Wind :George made my harp and a beauty it is. He and his wife Anwyn are amazing musicians and make wonderful harps, hammered dulcimers, hurdy gurdies and even beautiful bowed psalteries! Tri Canis Nox : Don Lewis makes the wonderful wooden mugs you see all over the faire. Each one is one of a kind, strong, beautiful and no burned lips from your early morning (and oh so necessary) coffee. Will see you safely through a three dog night!
