Featured Vendor: Real Rasperries

In checking out Real Raspberries for this piece I saw that she has two shops. She has a shop on etsy(the linked one above) and another shop.

Michele sells a variety of all natural, organic, bath salts and scrubs, scented flower bouquets and natural soaps.

I know from my own concoctions that lavender is a natural stress reducer and is good to help you sleep. This soap below would be great for nighttime baths.


What a wonderful scent, Cranberry Pomegranate soap to get you ready for the holidays.


I know that I love to take baths and bat salts are so relaxing. These Creme Brulee salts were made in honor Michele's sons favorite desert.


So stop by and say hi to Micheleat her spot on November 9th

The Fantabulous KittyCrossBones

Kittycrossbones us run by AmyLynn and in my book she is a superstar!!! I have been shopping at her store since May of 2007. She is s sponsor for HHB because she is responsible for printing up all of our fabulous postcards about HHB to give out all over town. She also completed this in a pretty short amount of time.

I am sure she is the person I have purchased from the most on etsy.

For me personally she has made my business cards ( did a brand new layout and all) mirrors,matchbook pads, buttons 1 and 1.25 inchers, and sitckers for my shop.
Her quality of product scannot be surpassed and I am always telling people how great she is. She is a delight to work with and have the highest standards of service. All of her items are full-color vibrant products that can compete and win with the big box stores.
These are her 2.25 inch custom mirrors. I love the ones she made for me with my logo.
I ordered 500 of these stickers and I put them on my packages and seal my items in tissue paper with them

These are the 1.25 inch buttons and I think I ordered 500 the last time.

The more you order the bigger discount you get. I have found out more is better than less because if you do a lot of shows a sticker is a pretty cheap way to promote yourself...

These little matchbook pads were my most recent purchase and I love them!
Stop byKittycrossbones and check her out. She is a sweet girl and I am always so pleased to receive anything she makes for me..I promise you will be too!

Featured Vendor: Perpetual Pickles

I first met Perpetual Pickles at another craft show I was in last year in St. Pete. I fell in love with her record bags.

These bags are a great way to reduce, reuse and recycle old items and repurpose them into something new and fabulous.


This first bag is made out of an actual record! Too cool.

This bag would be a fun bridal shower gift or bachelorette party gift for your evening out.

This last bag would be great for any vacation or for just bringing your goodies to the beach or the pool.

Make sure to swing by Perpetual Pickles table at HHB.

Handmade Holiday Bazaar Shout Out

Atomic Holiday Bazaar is an uber hip totally rad craft spectacular held in Sarasota 3 years running now. Adrienne, the AHB organizer/promoter extraordinaire, gave us a shout out on her MySpace page... in her "as only Adreienne could put it way" (we luv ya girl!) check us out:

This is going to be a meaty piece of bloggy pie. My crafty ladies of Sew It's For You and Elle Belle have organized "Handmade Holiday Bazaar" on November 9th, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. at Fiberologie in St. Pete, Florida. I am hoping to cart my busy ass up to their shindiggy provided I can battle my way out of my house which is filled with thread, vintage clothing, half-made handbags, half-made D-I-Y kits, etc-crafty-f'in-cetera. It's that time of the year when the craft supplies just take over the house like black mold, it happens quickly and before I know it, I can't find the couch, my Ipod, nuthin, it's all covered up. If you've seen my cat, tell her I changed the litterbox and we're good to go now.
