Featured Vendor: Kreepy Kids

Kreepy Kids is the sister store to Fallen Fey and Snappy Knees. In this etsy store you will find fantastic prints, shirts and other items that will embody famous people. there is an entire Wizard of Oz Collection or how about the 80's band people.

The versatility with being able to choose what Kreepy Kid goes on what item is great!

Here are some of the ones I want for my house. I guess with my computer being broken the last thing I need is a screen cleaner but I could use it as a pin cushion..

The tin man print from the wizard of Oz.
Siouxie from Siouxie and the Banshees print.

The newest item in their shop is edible sheet transfers with any of the 135 Kreepy Kids on it and you can put them on your own cupcakes or cookies at home. How cool is that?

So stop by Kreepy Kids booth at HHB. They will be with Fallen Fey and Snappy Knees too.

Vendor Feature: Wonderland Creations

Wonderland Creations makes the coolest hats. I was so excited when they decided to be a part of HHB. One of the best things is that they will me making custom hats right on the spot at the show!

All of Wonderland Creations Hats are made from anti-pill or polar fleece with embroidered details.

Here are pics of just a few of my favorites:



With cute hats like these what kid ( or adult) wouldn't want to wear them when it gets cool in Florida.

When I worked in Europe I wore a hat everyday and when I was back in April I did. I wish I was wearing one today cause it is 69 degrees at work so maybe I will have to buy one to add to my collection.

Since I have a HUGE noggin it is nice to see that they can adjust the hat size if you have a smaller or in my case larger head than 24 inches.

I am so looking forward to meeting Wonderland Creations at HHB next Sunday.

Acoustic Performance at Handmade Holiday Bazaar

We're so excited to tell everyone that Dean Johanesen and Scott Anderson of The Human Condition will be playing live at the Handmade Holiday Bazaar! If you haven't heard them in person at one of their many gigs around town, listen in on their MySpace or Reverb.

We're not the only ones singing their praises, check out what the local press has to say about them:

"The superb Human Condition offers acoustic rock that's warm, personal and, well, human. The group's radiant melodies and easygoing aura should delight fans of Ben Harper, Matt Costa and Dave Matthews."
-By Carole Giambalvo, tbt* columnist , St. Pete Times – TBT

"Critics Pick *five as best local CD 2007 - The Human Condition came up aces with *Five. The disc collects five tracks of deeply felt acoustic rock, bouncing from ripping country-tinged burners like "Purple Heart" to slower, soul-tinged tracks like "Back Roads." "
-Creative Loafing

"The Human Condition, "Five" Dean Johanesen fronts this excellent roots-rock outfit. Johanesen's country-hued compositions are backed by a hard-riding rhythm section and some stinging guitar work on this five-song outing that leaves us wanting more. in the process."
-Curtis Ross, Tampa Tribune

"“The Human Condition is a tight band. Their sound is distinctive yet familiar, combining the up-tempo heartbeat of the Dave Matthews Band, the melodic hooks of David Gray and the emotionally raw lyrics of Tori Amos…and like the aforementioned artists, they are engaging to watch.”"
-Aaron Alper , The Gazette


If you needed another reason to come by the bazaar this is it! They'll be doing an acoustic performance from 2-4 on the porch at Fiberologie the day of the show.
