Jewelers on the Boulevard features handmade jewelry created by Linda & Dennis Chrysler in their Fort Worth, Texas studio.

Carie Magee of Monkey House Photography says she always knew that she loved taking pictures, but never in her wildest dreams did she ever think that God would send her down the path of blessing others through the art of photography. She refers to the Bible verse from Proverbs 3:6, "In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path." While her path has not always been the smoothest, she says it's perfect in every way, allowing her to enjoy life while making time to stand still & savor the precious moments of life through photography. Visit the Monkey House Photography photo booth at The Experience Sunday, November 7th, for a free mini photo session!

Make Shop & Studio was founded in 2005 by Julie McCollough Kim. The goal of Make was to fill a void in the market that Julie felt should serve those that wanted to learn traditional crafts but make modern projects. Make features a boutique filled with items hand-crafted by local artisans, as well as a workspace that offers a variety of courses that cover a wide range of subjects, including soap making and quilting. Julie recently announced her newest passion project, Indie Genius. This micro-boutique allows individual artisans to open a small retail space without the burden of long-term leases, extensive overhead, staffing & more. The grand opening is slated for the first Thursday in November in Dallas’ trendy Bishop Arts District.
