SherJoy
I am Sherri Stein and my business name is SherJoy. I spent over forty years living in Alaska prior to moving to Indiana, so I am very familiar with cold weather! My mittens are all handmade, designed, felted, cut, sewn, and trimmed by me. It’s a passion for me. I use upcycled wool( 60-100%) sweaters and line them with fleece. They are embellished with either wood or coconut buttons. Sherri Stein

Jackie Richardson
My name is Tracy Land and I started making my own skin care products as a way to relieve the symptoms of frustrating Rosacea symptoms and adult acne problems. All Frangipani products are plant-based and certified cruelty-free with ingredients including steam distilled essential oils, cold pressed carrier oils, certified organic ingredients when available and economical, and are otherwise sourced from native regions.
I make women’s one of a kind clothing from vintage and recycled fabrics and embellishments. Emily Kniesly
Olde Tyme Adornmente
I love creating jewelry from vintage (existing) elements. It gives new life to these pieces from the past and keeps them out of landfills. The necklace in the picture was made from an orphaned clip-on earring, a broken rosary chain, a vintage brooch filigree, and some old bracelet findings. Debbie Batistatos

At Sugar Creek Lavender Farm, we integrate a variety of sustainable farming practices to ensure a harmonious relationship with the environment. We utilize organic farming techniques, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which promotes soil health and protects local ecosystems. By employing drip irrigation, we conserve water, reducing waste and runoff. These efforts not only support the health of our lavender plants but also foster a thriving, resilient ecosystem around our farm. Traci Lavender
Folding Oldies (Folded Books) by Kimberly
I purchase gently used books from Thrift shops and the CCPL Used Books Store and fold these used books into art, one page at a time. After creating the pattern from a software program, my high-tech tools include ruler, pencil, scissors, and sometimes tiny dabs of glue. Custom and personalized books can be commissioned. Kimberly Shoemaker
Steenstrup Designs
When my dad passed years ago, a friend made a purse for me from one of his ties. I had collected a bag of neckties for another project, but the purse spoke to me. In the years since I have created many memory purses for women who have lost a loved one. Quite often they ask if I would take the rest of his ties and put them to use, which I do! The decorative buttons are recycled from “grandma’s” button box, friends and antique stores. There are as many variations to these unique purses as there are ties. You can wear your “purse-n-ality”! Laura Steenstrup
Alita Knit
Knitted wear for newborns & adults. I hand knit the products without the use of any machines. Alicia Lana
X’chocol’Art
Chocolatier Joann Hofer was first exposed to her elaborate craft while living in Austria. With a painting background she quickly recognized chocolate as art and a medium to constantly learn from.
After learning from International chocolate masters she decided to dive into her own choco-venture, started in 2011. Find her in the shop 228 W Main St Carmel – Thursday to Saturday 12-5 and at the Carmel and Broad Ripple Farmers markets on Saturdays. Her love of art, food and travel are best expressed through chocolate. Give a local and artisan made chocolate gift for the Holidays.
After teaching elementary school for 30 years and celebrating Earth Day every year, I realized what a throw-away society we have become. After my retirement, I created Land goods, LLC, a company that makes Earth friendly products and promotes caring for the Earth. My business is also my mission. Trudy Land
B&D Woodcrafts
The wood used in our crafts is from recycled materials. The charcuterie and cheese boards are made from leftover wood from a furniture maker. The patio coolers from cedar fencing and the serving trays from crates that wine is shipped in. We are very proud of our hand made woodcrafts. Vern Donohue
Maria’s Candles and More began in 2004 in Indianapolis, Indiana. I began making candles because of worsening allergies, and could no longer tolerate traditional petroleum based parafin wax candles. My soy candles are handmade with no dyes, allergy friendly fragrance oils, and packaged in reusable glass jelly and mason jars. Tonya Samuels
Mimi’s Mittens
All products are made from recycled sweaters. Trish Chanen
