Introducing: Dirty Laundry!

Oh Jeanee from Dirty Laundry, what would we do without you? Well, I can tell you one thing, we would not be surrounded by adorable cupcake bath fizzies that smell phenomenal..which would really ruin our day. They are so cute! And such a good gift! And them smell so goooood. Folks, this girl is one of the hardest working crafters in KC and you will get a good look why at Ric Rac..but don't look to long, lest some long-arm shopper snag your cupcakes out from under you. You have to have the quick draw in Jeanee's booth, you may want to practice beforehand..

Introducing: Seek Design!

Miss Tara Tonsor of Seek Designs just doesn't have enough time in the day. People are constantly harassing her for jewelry. Necklaces, Earrings, more more more! (I have to admit that we are guilty of it too..sorry Tara!) It's easy to see why though, how cute is her work? She uses found objects to make one of a kind pieces for a super good price. And, if we are lucky, we might get to see some of her large art pieces at Ric Rac. She only does them every once in a while but they tend to be spectacular! Cross your fingers!

Introducing: Oddly Correct Coffee Roasters!

What could be better on a hot July day that a cup of freshly brewed, locally roasted coffee? I've got it! A super refreshing swig of Iced Coffee...which is exactly what Oddly Correct gave us at Ric Rac last year, and probably saved the life of many a tired and thirsty shopper. This little company (run by the cutest family ever) roasts their own beans, and prints their own packaging, giving KC a truly unique coffee experience. Stop by the booth and be sure to sign up for the coffee delivery service (which I think is the smartest thing ever) or just by bag after bag of their delicious beans!

Introducing: The Modern Logger!

The Modern Logger is all the work of the one and only Heather Green. When not slaving away during the day as a graphic designer, Heather is hard at work at home making plush log paperweights, pillows and felt ipod/iphone cases. (oooh, will she make an ipad one for the ric rac? I could sure use one..I guess I'll have to wait to see)


Anyway, she embroiders the wood grain pattern on all the log items...no two of which are alike! Heather says that her handmade items are very well crafted and lots of fun...I agree!

Introducing: Emetalworks!

Emily Blodgett-Panos is the designer behind eMetalworks, a jewelry line that uses multimedia items like silver, burlap, wood, plexiglass etc. and turns them into modern statement pieces. This year she has been inspired by a yellow and lime room she remembers from her childhood. She has brought this memory into her pieces with color and the use of cane patterns.

I can't wait to buy a pair of her candy colored enamel earrings. We don't have pics of them (yet) but I've seen them and they are adorable!!
