Son of a Sailor Jewelry, www.sonofasailorjewlery.com, all the way from Austin TX, modern flair of colors shape and design, how do you choose? Definately a favorite shop.
Rebe, www.specksandkeepings.com, has clothing that defies explanation, sedate colors and patterns with great shapes and accoutrements, I can't begin to do them justice.
Le Petit Elefant by Genevieve Santos, www.genevievesantos.com an illustrator with watercolors that make you smile and imagine. She has done up in several different products, from prints to pins.
Hasenpfeffer Incorporated, from Camano Island, has an Etsy shop, which has lovely handmade dolls with outfits for them that are just too cute and hugable.
Such Sweet Tierney, a local Seattle greenwood girl has, londontierney, a shop on Etsy, check it out, love her screen printed bags and towels and other goodies.
Estrella Soap, estrellasoap.com, is Seattle based also, and what a varied selection of vegan based soaps. A great booth, complete with coffee beans to clear the senses, I really liked the Orange-Spice, mmmmm
Tuesday Scarves, located in the International District of Seattle, has an Etsy shop also, tuesdayshop. Rian has infinity scarves that are wide enough to wear as a shrug even. She got in her new line of fabric made from her own photography of local area pictures she took too, and best of all, was able get her new scarves done in time for the show. Great texture and color combinations are paired up it makes it too hard to choose just one.
Nell and Mary, www.nellandmary.com, these handmade products outta Portland OR, just made me happy. The bags, napkins, tea towels, oh my. The Roof Line Tote was my favorite. Keep on printing and I will dream to take just one of everything please.
The Sprinkle Factory has an Etsy shop luckily and they have the cutest mini dessert necklaces, pins and earrings and the like. Just pick your favorite treat, no calories.
Fininshing off with Half Pint Homemade Ice Cream, a Seattle favorite, I tasted the Earl Gray Chocolate that my girlfriend Cathie got, mmmm but I ate a whole Chocolate Brownie bowl, Yes! The brownies used for the ingredients came from d:floured a bakery also from Seattle and were gluten free to boot. Keep and eye out at the local farmers markets for both these guys.
