i had so much fun meeting some of my favorite artisans, and of course, i had to come away with some goodies of my own!  some were bartered some were bought, and all of them are my new favorites!

a beautiful new shoulder bag and wrap skirt from the sweetest gal ever, paige! her lightnest booth was just as pretty as her handmade bags and apparel, all made from vintage fabrics.  make sure to visit her beautiful blog, we three pilgrims as well!

oh how i love my new necklace from hawleywood! a bunch of fun girls and beautifully made jewelry made this booth a treat for the eyes.

i was so excited to meet the girls from sew few!  they make the prettiest handbags and clutches using upholstery fabric samples. eco friendly, lovely and so classy- they’re saving the earth one fantastic handbag at a time.

i’m certain that i was surrounded by the best neighbors (sorry everyone else) and on my right was one of my favorite shops, foundling.  my sneaky mom snagged me one of her gorgeous bracelets and it is absolutely my new favorite piece to wear.  clever, beautiful and oh so sweet- it was a joy meeting betsy!

on my other side was the sweet kina from joretta natural knits! she helped me stuff pillows upon my arrival, and i’m certain that there’s no way i could have pulled off my booth without her.  thank you for being so sweet!

finally, i couldn’t resist this amazing (and oh so soft) fawn pillow from three bad seeds.  such a pleasure to meet the artist behind these fun pillows and produce bags, they are crafsters and farmers- a perfect match for ghtr! don’t miss the debut of their etsy shop coming up on wednesday!

p.s. sharing some big news on ghtr tomorrow! it’s one of my secrets, for all of you that have been patiently waiting. :)
