Ampersand Design Studio is another newbie to the Ric Rac Roundup. We've loved their work for years, so we are super excited that they are joining us!

Carrie Kiefer & Morgan Georgie are long-time colleagues and friends and the owners of Ampersand Design Studio: the blog, store and award-winning surface pattern and graphic design duo. Their shared design aesthetic—fresh, innovative, and energized by shots of surprising color—infuses everything they do.

Carrie & Morgan's mission is always to create looks and lives that are creative, harmonious and happy. " This is our first year to join the amazing line-up at Ric Rac and we couldn't be more excited!! We'll be selling melamine platters and art prints for kiddos and adults, and we'll have plenty of our popular screen-printed neon ampersand prints!! Stop by and say hi :)

Ric Rac Roundup: For Strange Women

We are excited to welcome For Strange Women to the Ric Rac Roundup for their first year!

I will be at Ric Rac with my natural perfume line, For Strange Women. I hope not to scare away the boys because I also have a unisex cologne line. I am delighted to be participating in the Roundup for the first time, alongside many of my favorite local artisans, including Scarlett Garnet (the only jewelry I wear) and the printer of my letterpress packaging, Two Tone Press.

Ric Rac: Sara Cramer

We asked the vendors of this year's Ric Rac to let us in on what they are working on for this summer. As the month goes by you'll get sneak peeks of what is to come at the fair!

Sara Cramer’s handmade jewelry collection uses square glass beads, putting a modern twist on a traditional fiber process. For the Ric Rac Roundup craft fair, Sara focuses on creating bright color combinations for summer, while putting an emphasis on bold, elegant, and classy styles.
