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

Hi there! I’m Deanna Boyce — the heart, hands, and sparkle behind Geode Gems Jewelry Designs. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with the thrill of cracking open geodes and uncovering the natural magic hidden inside. Now, I get to turn that childhood wonder into wearable art!
Each piece I create is one-of-a-kind, crafted from real, natural geodes — no two are ever the same. Not only are they stunning, but they also let me celebrate the Earth’s beauty while protecting it. By using natural materials and sustainable practices, Geode Gems isn’t just about making jewelry — it’s about making a positive impact on the planet!

Ms. Bonnie K.
I find great joy in creating old things and transforming them into something new. The thrill of the hunt when thrifting and visiting garage sales is exhilarating. I search for old home decor items that I can update and look for all sorts of recyclable materials, such as scrapbook paper, scraps to wood, metal, ceramic, salvage items, frames, door nobs/handles, baking pans, and old glass dishes. I’m passionate about recycling and transforming these items into something new that I love and want to share with others!

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

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

Santa Reimagined
I’m Linda Newell, a local artisan with a passion for taking discarded Christmas decorations and creating something wonderfully new. My Santas, planters and centerpieces are reworked, sometimes down to their bare bones, and lovingly created by reusing items from my arsenal of recycled items including foliage, fabrics and ribbons and various odds and ends.. When finished, they are transformed in to one-of-a-kind, high-quality handmade items ready to be displayed.

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.
