Hey Folks,

So we just have a few more crafters for us to cover and they don’t quite fit into any specific category that we have. We also want to welcome a set of brand new crafters here in the Co-op. We just put their stuff out this afternoon!

First up is Bret’s Garden Statues from right over in Jackson. You can also find him at the outdoor market in Belfast in the Summer. He’s been with us for a while and his concrete creations are always fun!

And then we have Wendy’s Wax creations. She has a wide selection of scent and colored candles in a bunch of different style containers as well as scented wax for warmers as well!

We have some new additions too our shelves. Seasonally we sometimes manage to get our hands on a few sheepskins from John & Nancy and we just got our in last week!

And then we have brand new crafters to welcome to the Co-op. We now have Wiseacre Farm & Arts metalwork and felt creations (Palermo). From nails to candlesticks and a bunch of small felted creations they have quite the selection. They even brought in Wreaths for those that are looking for them!

 

Hey Everyone,

For the next spotlight we’ll be looking at our fiberfolk. As many of you know we have a strong fiber community in our area and there are a lot of events surrounding the subject. We even have a fiber folk gathering at the Co-op every two weeks (we had 14 people come last week). So with no further adeiu lets take a look at the folks we have at the Co-op!

First up we have Rose Marie from Jackson who makes her spa cloths (she also does the watercolor artwork). Which are available as singles or as a 4 pack.

Then we have Blue Star Alpaca (Marty) who has blended alpaca yarns in many different colors (including a holiday based thread).

Then we have a bunch of Sewn items from Sew Happy Designs. Cozy bowls, aprons and some owls left!

We also have skeins of yarn from Womerlippi farm and a few more from Tramps Rest.

Next up we have a new addition to our shelves. Printed on Organic Cotton we have napkins and table runners from Hearth and Harrow!

And last up is the Felt Bird ornaments from Louise. We already did these items but they also fall under fiber arts so we figured we’d inlude them!

Hey Folks,

It’s time to put the spotlight on the personal care craft products that we have in the Co-op!

First up is Bee Balm & Nettle (Sadie, Waldo) who does Herbal Bath Teas, Shower Scrubs and a tea for drinking as well. She grows and collects most of her own ingredients too. If you’d like more info check out her instagram 

Then we have Ancestral French Soaps (Nancy, Monroe) who makes a whole bunch of varieties of soaps, regular soap, dish soap, hair soap, beard soap and a general purpose soap. She uses 100% organic cold pressed olive oil for all her recipes. You can also find her at the United Farmers market in Belfast or follow the link for more info.

Then we have Backyard Family Farmers (Brian & Nina, Dixmont) who make a whole selection of items. From lip balm to shower steamers, salves and sprays and a few more things even!

Then we have Motherwort Farm over in Swanville. She uses MOFGA certified ingredients to make Teas (Postpartum & Regular) as well as Tinctures and Salves!
