Studio South https://www.kristisouth.com/ Kristi can’t decide what to do when she grows up, so she messes around with a lot of good stuff. Mainly, the clay hits her funny bone with sculptural, but functional works of art for daily use. She will be offering Mug mugs, mug shots, and everyday bowls along with Buddha bowls and Bread Bowls! She likes big bowls, and she cannot lie! Otherwise, when the weather turns to cold and snow, she takes up the hook to crochet and that’s all she wrote! Nothing is better than a snuggly warm head in the winter. Kristi will get you covered. Last, but not least we may have some monkey business going on again this year. Look for her tree filled with Monkey Sacks and ‘Stache Bags. Truly, one of a kind gift ideas for the person who has everything. They’re too cool for school! Carole Warburton

There will be something for everyone as I offer many different styles of dyes that aren't classified as traditional.

Doggie Bag Bows - Made from Leftovers with Love https://www.instagram.com/doggiebagbows/ It all began with my Granddog Parker. Making a bow tie for the wedding reception of his parents was so fun, I just kept making them. When Parker wanted a bandana, I quickly made that too. At the encouragement of my children I began selling them at the Cache Valley Gardener's Market. Three years in, I love the chance to meet all my customers and their owners. Though it began for dogs, pets of all species have joined in the fun, from cats, ducks, alpacas and bearded dragons, all are welcome to wear and enjoy. My business name came from my childhood memories of going to restaurants and receiving a doggie bag to take home your leftovers. I generally use fabric I find in remnant bins and at the DI to make my product, thus the name Doggie Bag Bows - Made from Leftovers with Love. I'd love to see you at the market! Come see the fun items we have for Christmas and all year long. Dana Worley

We got started as a fun family project to learn a little more about bees. It didn’t take long for us to get more honey than we knew what to do with, and the boys started selling it at our local Farmer’s Market in Cache Valley, Utah. Meanwhile, with all of the extra honey around the house, we started experimenting with it in all kinds of foods. Our absolute favorite is Honey Caramel. It took a bit of experimenting, but the final result was worth it. Our honey caramels blend the rich buttery flavor of a traditional caramel with the extra depth of flavor from Cache Valley honey. We continue to keep our own beehives, letting the whole family take part in all the different aspects of beekeeping. In addition, you’ll find us at the Farmer’s Market all summer long. www.beesbrothers.com https://www.instagram.com/beesbrothers/, https://www.facebook.com/beesbros/ Sara Johns Hippos and Hippies Artwork from reclaimed materials All items are partially to completely from reclaimed, recycled and/or natural materials.

Moving to Thailand, he merged with a body jewelry company and cast small parts in Titanium. He spent the next nine years perfecting his skills with various metals, 3D models and 3D printers, procuring state of the art 3D software and becoming an international consultant for producing 3D models and training others in the use of CNC Machines and 3D printers. He dreamed of producing something that would bring delight to purchasers and carry with it positive feelings that would touch the souls of those who owned them. In 2014 he was able to realize his dream. Returning to the US, he uses Lost-wax casting to create a metal master from brass alloy for each temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, depicting, in the highest degree of definition possible, a coin with a 3D image of a temple. The reverse of each coin is cast with the words “Stand ye in holy places.” Sandra Checketts has been part of businesses for over thirty-five years. She enjoys getting to know individuals and is a person who likes to see the positive in the people and things that surround her. She loves her family and enjoys being involved in projects with them, that is what led her to Latter-day Coins. She had been listening to her daughter discuss a jewelry project she had in mind but needed the help of an expert. Sandra knew Dave from earlier days and when she ran into him by accident, she knew it was the hand of Providence and they started talking. She found the help her daughter needed and a new project for herself. She takes delight in the firm foundation the coins represent, a reminder that families are forever and are worth taking time for. She is excited and hopes that this will be a jumping off place to bring more of her family into the mix. latterdaycoins.com Cass Palza Indrustree Wire trees I have lived in cache valley my whole life.
