Claire Laraine is a designer/maker of beautiful, unique, handmade accessories. Claire has a love of fabrics, colour and pattern and likes to take an experimental approach to creating, forgetting the rules and describes her work as a journey, using what she finds, to create the things she would like to find, bringing a new lease of life to old and forgotten fabrics, making them beautiful again. Fascinated by storytelling, the pieces are a narrative telling life's simple little stories. Each remnant of fabric, bead or piece of ribbon discovered by Claire, already has its own story to tell, but it is a story we will never know, so Claire uses it in her work giving it a new chapter.

Venni Caprice is a handmade clothing label made by Boston designer Lori Di. She has been making clothes since she found out what a sewing machine was. The passion, patience, and skill to sew were passed down to her from her tremendously talented grandmother Lucy. Lucy made her children’s and her own clothes. Lori has never taken a sewing class or had any training whatsoever, and taught herself everything she knows. She began her internet success when she was diagnosed with epilepsy and had no means of making money for 9 months. She was unable to drive for that amount of time, and needed to do something. So she started up an Ebay store where she at first only sold designer clothing. She then started filtering her own designs into her store. And after success with selling her own designs there, she found Etsy! Venni Caprice is primarily sold at www.vennicaprice.com. She also sells her line at the Black Flamingo in Laguna Beach, CA. , Lisyb.com, PiecesofVenus.com and a few more boutiques in the works!

El Gato Dice Meow is the sum of an equation involving both a boy and girl, a mutual crush, two very overactive imaginations, and many an adventure. Think of them as the cobbler's elves. Only you're the cobbler. They can't think of anything better than a cup of coffee and a project. They enjoy the process and result. They fancy smiling. And elves. And cats that say "meow."
