Bath and Body

vendors1

One of the most unique things at the Spring Fling was the interactive salt bar by ChunkyButt Designs. Heather Russell's unique set-up allowed shoppers to choose a bottle, then fill it with mix or match bath salts. She also offers other bath products, as well as diaper cakes.

Elly Fleegal of Fleegal Farms Soap offers all-natural soap & skin care products handmade in Austin, Texas. She creates lip balm, cold process soaps, sugar scrubs & more.

Hedge Wizards Soaps features fine custom soaps, each with their own unique signature. The unscented hand lotion was a huge hit with our Funky Finds staff! And I would love to have some of the sachets, especially the Texas Bluebonnet scent.

Nichelle Ritter IS the Kitchen Beautician. She creates all-natural, skin nourishing body care products that are rich & gentle. The fizzing bath salts look to be divine!

Pamper Time showcases soaps, bath salts, bath soaks, sugar scrubs, body butters & eye pillows hand-crafted by Sara Lough. Currently all bath salts & soaks are 25% off, so get 'em before they are gone! And don't miss out on the great Easter goodies.

Funky Finds has grown so much over the years, but our goal remains the same - to promote independent artists, crafters & designers worldwide!

Learn about everything Funky Finds has to offer here.

Thanks for FIVE wonderful years in the handmade community! ...and here's to many more!

Art & Photography

vendors1

Sandra Feazel of 7th St. Studio is as nice & personable as she is talented. Each time I have been among her booth display, I think "I want this to BE my home!" In addition to her paintings, Sandra now offers hand-painted leather bracelets that are gorgeous. Learn more about Sandra & her art workshops on the Paper Cowgirl blog.

Judy Hudson creates textural art using recycled, repurposed, & scavenged materials. An Art Peace showcases Judy's beautiful mosaic work in various forms, including wall art, mirrors & more. Visit her Facebook page to learn more about her work.

Art by Susan Best presents a variety of unique artwork. I love Susan's dog art cards, which includes a Labrador & Chihuahua. Her assemblage and collage pieces are also exceptional.

vendors2

Shaun Mullin of BoG Productions creates quirky, yet functional, ceramics. The Golden Retriever business card holder is perfect for dog lovers, but Shaun creates a variety of other items that are not animal-themed.

Christie Cone Ceramics offers lovely ceramic pieces created by Christie Cone. Her new herb markers have been a huge hit this Spring, as are the floral brooches. One day, I would love to own a set of Christie's gorgeous dinnerware. Visit her Shop @ Funky Finds for other items.

Essie Pearl Graham is the creative force behind epgphotography. Her Shop @ Funky Finds showcases several eye-catching photography prints. Looking Out is a great example of Essie's unique perspective.

vendors3

Christin Allen is a talented session photographer. If you're in the DFW area & looking to capture the spirit of your family, Fate Couture Imagery is for you! Visit her blog to see examples of her vintage-inspired photography. And if you are or know a bride-to-be, check out Christin's wedding photos that are fabulous! Makes me want to get married all over again (to the same man, of course!).

Betty White (not of Golden Girls fame) has a passion for glass & it shows in her work. Glass Art by Betty features items that are fun & quirky, such as the SunnySide Up clock, and items that are unique & functional, such as the wine bottle serving tray.

Jeff & Linda Dolby of JL Glass Design create unique & unusual glass objects, ranging from stained glass panels to glass jewelry. Their accent tiles are the perfect way to personalize your living space. And their garden art will make you smile all Spring and Summer long!

Brandi Sololomon is the talented artist behind my favorite flower. Her watercolors capture the beauty of nature in such a rich & vibrant way. Her Shop @ Funky Finds is the perfect place to purchase beautiful stationery, prints & jewelry - all featuring Brandi's stunning work.

vendors4

Cheryl Gianforte of Off the Wall Designs traveled from Louisiana to participate in the Spring Fling. I enjoyed seeing her artwork & jewelry designs in person. Pet lovers will enjoy Cheryl's mosaic pet tiles; however, my favorite items were the Hidden Message paintings that incorporate painting, stamping, sewing & calligraphy.

Artist Sarah Zamora has a very unique style that really speaks to a lot of Funky Finds followers. Original Youth showcases her colorful, funky & bold images. We were lucky enough to feature one of Sarah's pieces on The Experience booklet cover!

Leah Leach of Roaring Rabbit Pottery creates functional pottery that is creative & beautiful. Her bowls, plates & other creations are works of art. In addition to being a talented potter, Leah is also pretty darn smooth on the fiddle! Each October Leah & her husband host an annual Pottery Sale and an Afternoon of Fiddle Music at her studio in Alvarado, Texas.

vendors5

sarusdesignart inc. features digital artwork created by Yeongsin Song. She also creates beautiful jewelry that incorporates her imagery. The Serenity cameo necklace is my favorite!

Shelly Burden is an extremely talented portrait artist. Her pet portraits really capture the loving spirit of so many beloved animals. She also offers art lessons for all ages. If interested, simply contact Shelly for more information.

I love what the home page of The Potter's Heart says about Laura Canfield’s experiences as a potter - that it has brought together her gifts in ministry & her love of clay & that she provides a space for people to connect to God and each other through the creation of art through pottery workshops. Take a look at her exceptional work & consider taking a lesson!

Yvonne Wilson is super funky gal that I always look forward to seeing. Her business, Yvonne4eyes Card & Art Manipulations, is a great source for hip cards, pendants & other cool items.

Elizabeth Cassels is the talented designer behind eclectibles. She always has a beautiful booth set-up & her accessory designs are unique & funky. I love all her jewelry designs, as well as the vintage purses & tins.


Elliott Williams of ezduzit by elliott is the epitome of a funky find! His booth set-up is so colorful, eye-catching and Elliott is full of life & energy. His funky handbags, wallets & other accessories are always a big hit with shoppers of all ages.

Gypsyharte Arts features unique needle & wet felted creations by Joyce Hazlerig. Her award-winning Psychedelic Cheshire Cat is stunning! Event attendees always ask where Joyce's booth is, because they enjoy collecting her small felted figures & her needle felting kits.

Looking for "fancies and frippery"? Katinka Pinka is the place for you! Kat Wallace has a terrific style that's hard to imitate. Her jewelry is great, but I really love her clothing designs & hair accessories. Visit her Facebook page for more photos.

vendors4

KraftyMunchkin Designs features all kinds of fun accessories created by Lisa Baltierra. The monster bags & tie pouches are my favorite!

Karen Rester of Luna Azul Studio is a talented painter and fiber artist. Karen weaves her fiber art on a Leclerc 4 shuttle loom & each piece is made from hand-dyed wools, natural fiber and other fun yarns.

I loved the feel of Melissa Knight's booth space at the Spring Fling. Take Flight Boutique has a shabby chic style that suits me to a T! You'll find jewelry, tote bags, hats & more listed online. Also, Melissa donates 5% of all proceeds to Homes for Our Troops, a foundation that builds specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans.

Alena Veteto of the Beadtanical Garden creates one-of-a-kind, hand-beaded florals that will last a lifetime. Her designs are available in the form of hair accessories, rings, earrings & more. Her intricate work is truly amazing!

Recap: 3rd Annual Funky Finds Spring Fling

It's hard to recap the 3rd Annual Funky Finds Spring Fling in one post! When you've planned an event for many months & spent all your energy planning an event, it's hard to summarize it once over.

Several artists that we know well participated, as well as many that I was pleased to meet for the first time in person. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "I know you from Facebook" I would be rich! Seeing everyone's unique booth displays & hand-crafted items is always a wonderful experience. I will be highlighting groups of vendors over the coming weeks & a complete list of participants can be found here. If you were unable to attend, you can view the event booklet & photos on the homepage.

Funky Finds events are family AND pet-friendly & it's always so much fun to see families & pet owners out & about. I saw chihuahuas in a stroller (left), a Standard Poodle that jumped in the air each time he saw another canine, and several Great Pyrenees that are beautiful gentle giants.

Thanks to all the business owners that donated raffle items & those who bought tickets, we raised $1,272.00 to be shared equally by CASA of Tarrant County & the Humane Society of North Texas. Also, 12 dogs and 1 kitten were adopted at the event!

A huge thank you goes out to all event participants, sponsors, attendees and volunteers! Would you like Funky Finds to host an event in your area? Tell us about!
