Jewelry, Collages, Jewelry Holders

3.  Tell us some more about yourself.

I have two associates, one in Fine Art and one in Art History.  I am so happy to have a hobby that allows me to utilize my artistic side.  I love knowing people all over the world are wearing pieces that I have made!  Selling handmade crafts has created a network for me of such talented, kind, and creative people.  My jewelry is a mixture of vintage and new components.  I spend hours mixing and matching findings and coming up with the perfect design.  I enjoy telling customers about the history of each piece and how some beads came from Japan in the 1950s but the pendant is new from a shop in California, etc.  It really makes you realize how unique and special handmade jewelry is and that it truly is one of a kind art!

Thanks Melissa!  Follow the links below to see more of Melissa's work.

3.  Tell us some more about yourself.

Since moving to Kentucky a year ago to attend seminary, I have been very stimulated to paint the beautiful countryside right outside my backyard. Art brings me so much joy and it is only natural for me to want to share that joy with others. When I am not busy manipulating color in my studio, I enjoy running, writing, reading, and conversing with friends over coffee.

Thanks Christina!  Check out more of her work at:

Party Paper Collections – I make custom and personalized party paper goods, such as cupcake toppers, place cards, food labels, water bottle labels, thank you tags, invitations and party banners.  At the Fair, I will be selling a few samples of my party collections, including holiday collections.  I will also take orders for personalized and/or custom party packages.  

3.  Tell us some more about yourself.

I’ve always loved a great party!  One of my first party memories as a child was my mom making a me a Strawberry Shortcake cake for my birthday.  I adored that cake, probably even more than any present I received!  

Once I had my own children, I spent months planning their parties.  The special, handmade touches gives parties that special touch.  After much encouragement from friends and family, I decided to make a business out of my passion.  

Mirabelle Creations blog was started in April 2011 and the Etsy store opened in August 2011.  My goal is to create beautiful parties with a hint of southern charm!

Thanks Deanna! Can't wait to see you at the Fair!  Visit Mirabelle Creations at:
