Marvelous Market

Yesterday I had the joyful experience of visiting a local market featuring artists and their handmade goods.  It was truly inspiring to see all of the goods there, the way people are using their creativity, and the incredible ways in which they are using it to reuse someone else's "trash" into little treasures.

Here are some of my favorites:

You might be able to tell that these are actual sweaters sewn into bags.  Very similarly to the way we discussed jeans possibly being used as bags.

The bag's creators also stitched handmade bikini tops:

This is the table of one of my favorite local artist's I have featured here before.  **Look for a giveaway from her coming mid-February**

Look at this beautiful neck-wear she creates.  Like a scarf only a thousand times more fashionable.  I am craving the paisley one!    

Visit her store here to see more of her great creations.  

These handmade pipes were created by her husband.  What a crafty household!  His store features pipes and pipe accessories.  

And right next to them was Mia with this adorable puppet.   How cute is that?

 I am betting at least one of these will be under our tree next year.  And check out this gorgeously unique doll.
She also makes pendants out of reused Scrabble tiles!  And she is soon opening a new store called "Bewakeful."  I love that name!

What did you do with your Saturday?  Anything fun?  Creative?  Green?  What are your favorite hand made goodies you have found?
