knit winter hats and washcloths
{A Super Knit}
.
Family ties.
.
I am all thumbs. (Unless that means I’m good at knitting. That’s how little I know about all this.) I’ve tried knitting and crocheting and I just can’t seem to get my hands to do what they’re supposed to.
.
I’d love to say it’s genetic, but can’t because look at these pieces MY SISTER made. My flesh-and-blood, same-house-and-upbringing, wore-all-her-hand-me-downs sister made them.
.
I am so impressed. And it’s not the first time. She once made me two pairs of a slipper design that I described to her after seeing them at a friend’s house. She made little Santa hats for our kids to wear in holiday pics one year. She even made a bathmat for their tub.
.
*sigh* Me and my thumbs will just be over here if you need us…

neck wraps
{Ahzalhea Designs}
.
Call off the search.
.
If you like to snuggle. If you are always clutching your jacket closed under crossed arms. If you want to wrap a blanket around your body in October and not take it off for 5 months.
.
This scarf is for you. The lining is fuzzy warm. The fit is casually snug and fits all sizes. The snaps ensure it won’t unravel or slip off. The patterns are super versatile. And the best, I mean BEST part – you don’t have to take it off when you walk inside because it’s not a big bulky scarf that makes you look like you’re silently complaining about the room temperature.
.
And, if you needed one more reason: my aunt puts hers on to dress up her more casual work-from-home attire for Zoom meetings.
.
Aw, snap.

zipper bags, rice bags, aprons, felt flowers & more using the. most. amazing. fabrics
{AndiJane's Creations}
.
The most overheard phrase at our Makers Markets?
.
Good guesses include: “locally handmade”, “small batch”, “expertly crafted” and “I know: isn’t her work amazing?!”
.
But the winner would be: “Oh my god, these FABRICS!”
.
Andrea’s designs were in our shop during the July Makers Market, and the crowd went wild. They are colorful, playful, whimsical, manly, childish, adorable, funky, retro, modern and even hubba hubba hunky. And the care she takes in making sure the pattern is lined up in the design – seems like a small detail, but it’s everything.
.
Andrea uses these awesome fabrics to make everything from zipper bags to aprons, bowl warmers to rice bags and everything in between.
.
I bet I’ll be hearing our catchphrase a lot again.

plants, pottery & pottery for plants
{Arrows Aim Greenhouse & Supply Co.}
.
I thought it was just me.
.
I have too many empty pots, so I buy a few more plants, and then those plants shoot up some baby starters, and I need more pots, and so on. I’d call it a vicious cycle – if it wasn’t so much fun.
.
We’re all lucky that Leeann “suffers” the same cycle. She knows a thing or twelve about plants and can throw pottery. She’s the poison and the antidote. The curse and the cure.
.
I wonder…does anyone else have any symptoms? Is the only treatment option “More Plants”?
.
Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes…

luxury botanical perfume
{Astrid Nyx Perfume}
.
I went through a phase in college…
.
I’ll save the details and just say it was very much a “more is more” lifestyle for a while there.
.
Including perfume. I had all the Bath & Body Works flavors. (Yes, they’re flavors. You are taste them, no matter how much restraint you manage.) And I really layered them up with the boxed kits of shower gel, body lotion and body spray. Did they make candles, too? I can’t remember (see above) but if they did, I probably had one of those burning as well. I still can’t walk by a B&BW without wincing. There’s just so. much. scent.
.
I wouldn’t say I’ve reached “less is more” in all things, but scent is definitely a refined category for me. I prefer to enter the room before my perfume. I want someone to say that I smell amazing after a hug, not a wave. I want to catch a little glimpse when I pull my hair back - I always spray the back of my neck.
.
Leanna’s perfume is what I want to wear now. Her scents are herbal and floral and well balanced. After her studies with Cedar Mountain Herb School in 2016, Leanna continued to research and experiment with essential oils. Her summer solstice launch in 2021 came after 5 years of work, and she is now a perfumer.
.
Taking the lessons you’ve learned and using them to make the world a better (smelling) place? THAT’s my current phase, too.

upcycled clothing made from vintage threads
{Baisey}
.
What goes around…
.
I am at the point where the hand-me-downs I’m saving for my daughter’s dress up chest are considered “vintage”. And I couldn’t be happier.
.
I remember twirling in my mom’s hippie duds – originals from the 60s – and wincing at all the shiny fabrics in her 70s pieces. Which I would now totally wear the bejeezus out of, except that I outgrew my mom in high school, and even without the 4-inch height difference…I’m not sure my mom’s pre-kid clothes would fit my post-kid body.
.
Unlessssssssss…maybe Beth could help. She’s been making her own clothes since she was a kid, and now has a passion upcycling vintage threads.
.
Her designs are a little retro, a lot colorful and expertly crafted to be around for another generation.

artisan soaps, body & home products
{Barn Cat Creations, LLC}
.
If you haven’t seen her Reels, hop over to Diana’s page: @barncatcreations. I’ll wait.
.
I mean – isn’t she the best?
.
Her soap is just like her: creative, adorable, fresh and locally made. (I don’t actually know if she was born in WA. But the other ones I can absolutely confirm.)
.
And you can add “conscious producer” to that list as well: Diana has made a commitment to using eco-friendly ingredients, processes and packaging. She even makes grab bags of soap ends and remnants so that you can sample a bunch at once while keeping her footprint small.
.
Small and clean :)

Their laser cutter made it all possible. Their designs are all available on hypoallergenic fixtures, they’re ultra light and go with everything.

bath & body products
{Bliss Luxury Soap}
.
Contagious creativity.
.
Bev started making soap a few years ago after having a booth at a craft fair next to a soap maker. The smell was amazing, but the process is really what intrigued her, and inspired her to give it a try.
.
And we’re all lucky she did. Her soaps – especially the ones with the little loofah slice inside – are as luxurious as promised.
.
But her whipped coconut body butter is life-changing. In the way that you know there was a time before you had tried chocolate, but you don’t even want to remember what it was like. The coconut scent is encased in a rich and velvety rub that make you feel smoother and sexier just smelling it. Which I recommend you do.
.
I won’t do more than smile when the scent makes you hum just a little – I do every time :)

felty decor: ornaments, banners, branches & pillows
{Cabin Fever Handicraft}
.
Production value.
.
Charity had a bit of a year in 2020. Between the pandemic, a cancer diagnosis & treatment for said cancer, she was…we’ll just say a family-friendly “stressed”.
.
But returning to her creative roots allowed her to channel that stress in a productive manner, and bring in some extra cash. Win win!
.
Charity’s creations are some of my favorites. I have one of her banners in my bedroom, and love the retro, scout badge vibe. Her ornaments make great gift tags – especially the Washington one for out of state shipments. And her felt branches are Danish modern simplicity meets vibrant eclectic energy. I want vases full of them in my house.
.
And she brought enough for the whole class.

candles
{Camano Candle Company}
.
“I don’t need a new candle.” Said no one, ever.
.
The best best best thing about candles is that they get used and need to be purchased regularly. So don’t let anyone ever tell you that you might have “too many” because one day, they will say their shop smells a little musty and they tried spraying something in there (you won’t ask for details because you don’t buy room spray so they probably grabbed a multi-purpose cleaner and misted it around…) and it didn’t work so now they would like to try one of the candles, please.
.
And you will smile and say, “sure, grab one out of the laxy susan by the sink.” And they will crouch down, sniffing each to find just the right one, and you will feel so proud that you have what they need.
.
Then you’ll grab two more “shop candles” the next time you’re out running errands. :)
.
Jennifer gets it. Her self-proclaimed addiction to candles led her to make a scent of her own that she could make and remake and remake.
.
A never-ending supply of delightfully scented candles? SIGN ME UP!

thoughtfully crafted, small-batch skincare products
{Clērstory LLC}
.
She owns it.
.
I don’t hear the word “nerd” as an insult any more. (And not just because I graduated from middle school.) It’s been taken back and replaced with a reverence: when someone calls themselves a nerd, you listen. Because it means they must know what they’re talking about.
.
And Lydia certainly does.
.
In her own words, “I'm a science nerd at heart: I majored in biology and currently work in research. I've always had an obsession with skincare and especially decoding the ingredients inside each product.”
.
Lydia started to formulate simple, intentionally-made skincare products with research-backed ingredients when a favorite product was discontinued. Now, Clērstory offers thoughtfully crafted, small-batch skincare products from face oils to cleansers.
.
And if “science” wasn’t enough of a reason…look at that packaging.
.
Ooooo la la.

CBD bath and body products & chair massages
{Coastal Massage Therapy and Wellness}
.
Loosen up.
.
I don’t know many people that hate massages. But I’ll admit that I didn’t used to love them. I had too many that were more like sunscreen applications than therapeutic muscle releases. I always found them to be pleasant, but didn’t feel any long lasting relaxation.
.
But now? Now I love them! And I’ll tell you my secret: I tell the massage therapist what I want. In the intro, before laying down, I talk about what I’m looking for. When the therapist asks if the pressure is good, I answer honestly. I ask for areas to be left alone, and others to be focal points.
.
It can feel a little intimidating the first time, so I’ll tell you another secret: book a chair massage with Kaia. She is offering 15-minute (fully clothed) chair massages at Cohost. They are an excellent way to get to know Kaia’s style, and for her to understand more about what you’re looking for in a massage therapist.
.
And when those 15 minutes leave you wanting more…you can book a full session (60 mins? 90 mins?) at her in-home massage suite.
.
You can also take some relaxation to go: Kaia makes incredible CBD bath bombs.
.
Spahhh!

They are an excellent way to get to know Kaia’s style, and for her to understand more about what you’re looking for in a massage therapist.
.
And when those 15 minutes leave you wanting more…you can book a full session (60 mins? 90 mins?) at her in-home massage suite.
.
You can also take some relaxation to go: Kaia makes incredible CBD bath bombs.
.
Spahhh!

pnw inspired home decor
{Drift Mercantile}
.
Infinity, and beyond.
.
Sunny started the “about me” section of her market application with “The short version is:”…and isn’t that true for all of us? We have done, been, seen so much that we could go on forever.
.
In her creations, instead of using words, she’s using “little bits of all the wondrous natural materials found in this beautiful home of mine.” Which we all know is an unending list of amazing: concrete, sea glass, drift wood…I could go on, but I’m taking Sunny’s note and giving you the “short version”.
.
In her own words, “I've been a maker and an artist since I was little. I'm pretty sure I came out of the womb with a journal full of ideas for things I wanted to create. I have a deep passion for the arts; everything from music to home design, pottery to painting, and whatever else I can squeeze in between.”
.
We’re so happy she squeezed us in :)

plush toys
{Friends of Socktopus}

The proof that adding a ‘corn makes any animal adorable.
.
Because: Have you ever met a llama? They’re not always the most eager to snuggle. (Yes, I’ve been spit on. I don’t want to talk about it.)
.
But a “llamacorn”? I’m all in. And an “octocorn” and a “kittycorn”…cuteness overload. These stuffies are handsewn and unique and modern and would look as good in a nursery as they would on your couch.

locally foraged fresh holiday wreaths and centerpieces
{The G + G Project}
.
Can’t get more local than this.
.
Grace has been making seasonal wreaths using locally foraged materials for as long as she can remember. Each year, she and her family would increase production, until they were making hundreds – mostly just for family and friends.
.
Then Grace met Griffin, and to showcase their love of agriculture and passion for farming, they’ve launched The G + G Project. They’ll be offering a weekly produce CSA in the spring, and hope to continue to scale their operation to add pastured meats as well.
.
For now, they’re focused on those seasonally foraged wreaths that Grace grew up making. The wreaths are available in two sizes for hanging and as a centerpiece for your holiday table.
.
Pre-order your wreaths and centerpieces on our website (www.cohostspace.com/pre-order); just select “Cohost” as your pick up location. You can pick up your wreaths during normal business hours on the date you select.

goat milk soap
{Gillis Family Farm}
.
Soap dish scene.
.
I remember when Christian and I started dating, and he mentioned he loved owls. I saw little balsa wood, 3D owl kit a few weeks later, and bought it for him. It wasn’t until a long while later that he finally told me, “I know I said I liked owls, but, I don’t like them like, “I have owl things in my house.”
.
My daughter can not relate. She loves kitties. She wants all the kitties. All the real ones and stuffies and ones on shirts and ones you see in magazines and ALL. THE. KITTIES.
.
I think Carissa’s raw goat milk soaps would work for either of these types of people.
.
Each of her soaps is truly a work of art. And they remind you instantly of someone you KNOW will just DIE when they see it. And for those like Christian, that don’t want their houses full of things they say they like (I’m not bitter, just confused), it’s a usable gift that won’t be hanging around forever.
.
Unlike all these kitties…

handmade wood benches, planters, boxes and chests
{His Wood}
.
Fan club.
.
Larry’s wife, Lana, came in a few times to chat about her husband’s work, and the possibility of participating in the Market. I *love* when I hear about artists from their biggest fans, and Lana is obviously Larry’s. She is also the one that has to find room for his creations, so I imagine that played a part in spreading the word as well.
.
You don’t need me to tell you that Larry’s been a wood worker for years – LOOK at that chevron. But I can tell you that he’s lived in the area for 46 years, is a retired Naval Officer, and was building custom homes as a General Contractor for 30 years.
.
All of his pieces are hand made, and are labeled with the woods used. The cutting boards, small keepsake holders, planter boxes, benches and furniture are all totally unique and expertly crafted.

fiberglass & ceramic planters
{Left on Olive}
.
No such thing as “too many plants”
.
But sometimes, there is too much of one plant. And that is how Jenny started Left On Olive. She struggled to find large planters that were stylish and modern. So…as with so many makers…she decided to design her own.
.
Jenny has some planters that I would fit in. (And honestly, I’d love to wear one. They’re so velvety and sultry and luxurious and all my favorite colors.) They’re made of fiberglass, so they’re super light empty and won’t be impossible to move once full of dirt and greens. (I, however, become much heavier once full.)
.
Jenny has since added smaller planters, and started throwing her own pots, which are lovely, but she says it was the large sizes that really got her into it.
.
They got me, too.

pottery
{JL Pottery}
.
You know it’s good when Christian asks for more.
.
I buy a lot of locally handcrafted goodies – not just because I run a Makers Market, though that does help with commute time.
.
I met Josh at Happy Hollow Farm last year. His white mugs caught my eye, and I bought 2.
.
The next morning, mug in hand, my husband asked where I had gotten them, and if I could get more. I think that’s the handmade sweet spot: finding a unique design that can be collected into a set. We now have 4. Each is a tiny bit different, but set out on the brunch table, they match.
.
Josh wants to try his hand at salt cellars and little match strikers next.
.
I’ll take 2!

electroplated plant, insect & bone jewelry
{Linnaea Jewelry}
.
Another scientist in our midst.
.
Megan has a background in natural resource sciences, and is known locally as a plant expert. (Which I think makes her me on opposite day.)
.
Megan’s specialty is “wearable herbaria”: preserved specimens that you can wear. Her
electroplated plant, insect & bone jewelry is her artistic way to connect people with the local trails and plants that grow along them.
.
In her own words, “My hope is that when people wear my jewelry they will think about where it came from and feel more connected to our natural space.”
.
Which is, I think, the only reason to wear anything. I have been happier in my daughter’s beaded and glittered monstrosities than I have been in the things that match my outfit. When something has a greater significance, it feels and looks better.
.
And I mean: look at that butterfly. She’ll go with everything.

field bags made from repurposed materials and infused with local beeswax & hand knit original designs and novelty hats like chickens, kitties and dragons
{Lulu B Custom}

Trial and error.

One of the things I love most about the origin stories of our makers is that everyone admits that there were moments – lots of moments – that didn’t go as planned. And it’s so much more inspiring to hear those stories while looking at incredibly intricate, beautifully executed art.
.
Francine started knitting 25 years ago and just could not stop. She would imagine different pieces and try to create her own novel designs. And after lots of the aforementioned trial and error…she now has a full line of novelty knit hats and field bags.
.
Or maybe I just should have written, “Francine is the chicken hat lady.” Because she’s deservedly famous for them. And her kitties, vikings, dragons, plums and Yodas.
.
And her field bags are soon follow in fame: they’re made from repurposed materials and infused with local beeswax from Skagit County. Francine says, “My hope is that others find my bags whimsical, purposeful and will be motivated to repurpose, too.”

cold brew coffee & beans
{Mornin’ Sunshine Coffee Co.}
.
The only coffee I can drink.
.
I quit coffee 3 years ago. I was trying to pinpoint some body stuff (I’ll spare you the gory details), and figured I’d eliminate the potential culprits. I’d been drinking a couple cups each morning for 15 years, and never really thought much of it. But my first cup after a few months without? Oh lordy. I had a headache for hours.
.
Then along came Christine’s cold brew. It’s like a clean and crisp version of the original. You can actually *taste* the beans, and the toasty roast, and it makes for a luxurious cup of joe. (Where Joe is short for something much fancier, like “Josephine”.)
.
My first cup was like a glorious sunrise – which is, I imagine, why Christine calls it “Mornin’ Sunshine”: it’s like a light beam straight to your smile.

wood burned art and gifts including wood burning art kits
{Mosstangle Arts}
.
Pyrography is one of my favorite words.
.
It sounds like the word you would use to describe the tip of a bonfire flame. The very end that whips and swirls and paints the smoke into the sky.
.
It is, in truth, the art of using a hot metal point to burn a design onto a surface. (I think I was close, though).
.
Crystal started her pyrography with a coaster in 2017, and it lit a fire in her creative soul. She started teaching others how to burn, baby, burn in 2020, and says she loves that just as much.
.
I can vouch that she is a passionate and inspiring teacher – the charcuterie board that I created in one of her workshops was a blast to make, and looks really good, ifIdosaysomyself.
.
Crystal’s stocked the shop with wood burned art and gifts (like ornaments, earrings, and wall art. And for everyone that wants to add “Pyrographer” to their business card, she also has wood burning kits for those who want to burn...I mean: learn.

batik wall art
{My Friend Jen}
.
The lockdown revealed a lot of hidden talents.
.
One of them was right under my nose. My Friend Jen is also my friend, Jen. She studied art, and loves to create, has a stellar eye for design, and I knew all these things. But when she said she was doing batiks with her newly-home-indefinitely kiddos, I figured she was just trying to keep them busy.
.
Then she brought a few to my house. I was aghast. Stunned. Amazed. Impressed.
.
Ever modest, she tried to downplay the process, telling me she was just messing around, creating from her mind, keeping herself busy.
.
But I mean LOOK AT THEM. Truly art. Definite talent. One of a kind beauty.

My mom had taught us that the soothing remedy was available in a plant that grew next to the nettles, so my other sister and I harvested as much as possible while my mom picked up my sister and walked her back to the house.
.
There was also the time our Jamaican bus driver pulled over to snap off a chunk of aloe vera to give to a sunburned passenger.
.
Anna knows all of this, and much more. She was so inspired by learning about the traditional uses of native plants in college, that she went on to herb school. (Which I am thrilled is a thing and I will be googling it in a minute.) Her line of small batch herbal products cover all the bases: stress relief, nervous system support, belly aches, immune system support, heart opening, itches, scratches, dryness and vitality.
.
And yes: sunburn relief.

apparel & gifts
{Peck Projects Design Co.}
.
Local souvenir.
.
The Pacific Northwest is proud. We’ll put “PNW” on just about anything: stickers, ornaments, key chains, mugs, sweatshirts.
.
But that sweatshirt better be comfy and flattering. I mean, we can wear it just about every month of the year, and we’re not messing around with itchy tags, fat sleeves and choking necks.
.
Chelsea knows this. She’s been making custom apparel (and stickers, ornaments, key chains, mugs, etc) for years, and knows that if it ain’t comfy, why buy it? Her Ts, tanks and hoodies are butter soft.
.
And made to order. See a design you love on the “wrong” color tank top? Wish that message was on a mug instead of a hoodie? Need a kid’s T to match your T?
.
Just ask. Chelsea’s got you covered.

pottery
{Pottery by Leila}
.
Making the ordinary extraordinary.
.
There is no discernable difference in the cups in my house. But my daughter can tell, in the dark, if she hasn’t been given “her” pink cup. I’d try and break her of the tendency if I didn’t also bristle a little when I see my husband pouring his coffee into “my” mug. It’s the right size for my hands, has a thin edge that makes my tea feel fancy, and lets the tea cool at the exact rate at which I drink it.
.
It’s perfect – for me. And once you find the piece that you want to wake up to every morning, you keep it. (Just embroider that on a pillow – it’s good advice all around.)
.
We all need mugs, spoons, bowls, magnets, vases, vessels, and soap dishes. But they don’t have to be the average version – they can be THE version. THE one you want to use every day, because you need to use it every day. In her pottery, Leila aims to use clay as a medium to explore everyday objects, upholding the quality of both form and function.
.
In her own words, “Each piece is designed so it can become a practical part of daily use, with the intention of animating items— I believe it is possible bring a spark of life through handcraft, aiming to vitalize the mundane and challenging the notion that everyday objects need to be static.”
.
Your favorite mug is waiting for you.

candles
{Rainy Day Aromatherapy}
.
Memory Lane.
.
Rachel and I have this in common: scents are tied very strongly to memories and emotions.
.
Sometimes, I smell something, and am completely transported. My brain doesn’t even say, “hey, that smells like the bunk house at summer camp.” It’s as thought I am instantly 11 again, just brushed my teeth in a fluorescent lit bathroom, and am getting snuggled into a crappy sleeping bag on a crinkly mattress.
.
There’s no “bunk house” scent, don’t worry. But Rachel’s scents will take you to Christmas morning, your grandmother’s flower garden, and your lake house on the hottest day of the summer when you’re tired from being in the sun all day, but don’t want to leave the campfire just yet because your cousin tells the best stories and he just ran inside to get something to show everyone.
.
All you have to do is close your eyes, and sniff.

needle felted and knitted creations
{Ronning With Scissors}
.
It all started innocently enough.
.
Cheryl volunteered to make some auction items for an animal rescue organization she supported. Figuring she should stay on theme, she started needle felting and made a few catnip infused wool balls. They sold out.
.
It’s the origin story of so many of our makers: pretty soon, the requests started pouring in from eager customers, so Cheryl got to work. She started creating “interpretive critters”, and always knew they were right if they made her laugh. That led to more creations, like “Kitty Christmas Trees” and “Angel Kitties”. Then dogs, and horses, and a hippo here and there.
.
Cheryl brought a tree full of handmade ornaments sold separately, and a handful of fully decorated table top trees. They’re all adorably whimsical.
.
The crabs might be my favorite.

vibrant glass mosaics for home and window decoration

.
I had the opportunity to visit Katie’s red barn a few weeks ago (where she’s created mosaics and taught art for the past 10 years), and it was like walking into any well-loved atelier: all manner of art supplies and so. much. art.
.
I’m familiar with Katie’s smaller designs from her stints at our Makers Markets. But I got to see some of her larger pieces (you can see some on her Insta page @Katie_Walton_art), and they are absolutely breathtaking. The intricate work and rich colors sparkle amidst the works in progress. I could have stayed forever.
.
In her own words, Katie makes “vibrant glass mosaics for home and window decoration, designed to make you happy.”
.
And happy, I am.

handmade clothing for children
{Salt & Rain}
.
Best dressed kids.
.
I’m still learning how to dress my kids. (And myself, kind of. I mean, yes, that’s a fanny pack I’m wearing. BUT it’s not neon like the one I had in my teens, and I’ve seen other people wearing them well, and if I don’t have it on I feel naked so I’m done defending my choices, thankyouverymuch.)
.
But my kids know what they want to wear, and they don’t care if it’s stylish. They like comfy and colorful things. And I like good quality items that can last a couple seasons. Bonus if it means I can also support a small, local businesses.
.
My wallet is in trouble with Megan’s handmade clothing in the shop. I mean: LOOK AT IT. Gah! I am going to be so. ready. for our next family photos.
.
What started as a hobby, is now a full-on business. Which is an incredible feat in just 7 years. The craftswomanship and design aesthetic are incredible. The dresses! The shorts! The T’s! The srunchies!

candles
{Sincerely Sarah Jane Candles}
.
Sarah doesn’t just want your house to smell good.
.
She started making candles as a way to give her mom a clean burning option that wouldn’t give her headaches during her cancer treatments. As a new business in 2020, she quickly found a following from folks that wanted to decrease their exposure to toxins in the homes they didn’t leave as often as before. (And the candles smell ah-mazing, which helps the morale of those family members that aren’t used to smelling their family quite as much as before.)
.
Sarah still acknowledges her beginnings with every candle: Sincerely Sarah Jane Candles gives a portion of all sales to cancer research.
.
It’s a gift that will keep on giving.

gemstone jewelry
{Studio Selyn}
.
I kept running into David and Lauren at markets in town.
.
Every time, David would be quietly creating in the back, constantly adding new pieces to their already extensive line-up of necklaces and earrings. As I leaned in to check out the ones that caught my eye, Lauren would tell me the names of the gemstones used. What a team!
.
They’ve stocked Cohost with so many beautiful pieces. And on each, Lauren has listed the gemstones – ruby, morganite, peach moonstone, pyrite, strawberry quartz, red jasper, dry creek jasper, hematite, morado opal, spinel, sunstone, spider jasper…just to name a few.
.
So their presence will be felt, even though they won’t physically be at the Holiday Makers Market. (None of the makers will be – I run it by myself so that the makers can go off and be creative, spend time with their families or do whatever else they weren’t able to when they were running booths all season.)
.
Which David and Lauren did, expertly.

pottery decor
{T’s Craft Garage}
.
The gifts that keep on giving.
.
I have heard from so many makers that their friends and family encouraged them to follow their passion…then asked them to please start selling their passion because they were running out of room.
.
This is true for Teresa: She started T’s Craft Garage after getting back into pottery about 5 years ago. She was bolstered by fellow artists to check out local markets and events, and has been showing her pieces since.
.
Teresa’s goodies are a little whimsical and a lot useful. I bought my niece dumpling chopstick holders. And my sister a mason bee hive. And myself a Halloween jack o’lantern candle holder. They’re all wonderfully unique.
.
Just like Teresa :)

stickers, patches, cards, prints, magnets, tea towels
{Tori Tornado}
.
It matters how you say it.
.
I wouldn’t say I’m a “word sign” gal. You know…”live laugh love” and “keep calm and carry on” and “my other car’s a broom”. Stuff like that.
.
But I can get behind “kindness fucking matters”.
.
Especially when the font is so bold yet playful, and the colors are so vibrantly bright. It makes me want to buy a stack of them to put under peoples’ windshield wipers when they park like total jags. Or just throw a pile into the air on Main Street like Samantha did in the SATC episode.
.
Overkill? Maybe. Thankfully, Tori has more subtle ways to get the message across: stickers, patches, greeting cards, art prints, magnets, tea towels, button pins and calendars.

jewelry & dried flower wreaths
{Trillium Finch}
.
Nina just got a puppy, and now I can’t look away from her feed.
.
Not that it was easy before. I mean: there are armfuls of fresh flowers, dried flower wreaths, sunsets, sunrises, gorgeous vistas, beautiful tablescapes, pumpkins and some feather footed chickens. It’s a parade of beauty.
.
And if you go back a ways: jewelry. It’s like finding buried treasure. Nina’s pieces are bohemian and bold (without being brash) and the bright and muted color combinations are as lovely as her flower arrangements.
.
I spotted Nina at the Skagit Valley Farmer’s Market this summer, and her latest pieces are my favorite yet.

organic hand-crafted bath & body products
{Triple Lotus Wellness}
.
Take care.
.
A funny thing happens when a woman becomes a mom: performing basic human needs solo become “self care”.
.
(And then dads get a kudos when they’re alone in public with the kids, but I digress.)
.
But when someone’s been hanging on your body all day…or you’ve driven to town 4 times for a variety of school and sporting practices…or you cooked 3 different lunches and 6 snacks today: even going to the bathroom alone can feel like a triumph of independence. Elise started Triple Lotus Wellness in early 2020 after becoming a stay-at-home mama to 3 babies under 2 years old (there’s a set of twins in there). She wanted to share the organic items she’s proud to create; as well as find other ways to support moms and encourage regular self-care practices.
.
And she’s giving you TONS of organic options: bath bombs, bath soaks, bath dust, body scrubs, body butters, lip butters, shower steamers (now with menthol!), tub teas and so much more.
.
Now to learn how to sleep when the baby is sleeping.
