Describe your products and anything new that you'll have at the market.

Handmade Sustainable Women's clothing and accessories. I use alot of Hemp fabrics such as hemp linen, hemp denim, hemp suede and other great organic and sustainable fabrics, including vintage and antique fabrics.. My husband makes jewelry from recycled materials such as melamine plastic plates, backgammon pieces and scrap woos from a local guitar shop. I will have more of the antique and vintage recycling at the market with some great deals on sample pieces and other various pieces from my line on Etsy.

Describe a bit about your production process and what tools you use.

I use a singer sewing machine from the 70's, it's the best machine. I also have a industrial juki serger that I can't imagine working without.
