2012 Charleston FestivALL, West Virginia {PART TWO}

Part Two of my encounters at FestivALL 2012, will highlight the vendors that I encountered that were my favorites of the day!

Cla Contemporary

"fresh & handmade"

Chelsey was the first jewelry vendor that I encountered in the first tent I entered, and her pieces just blew me away!  They are so eye appealing and architectural in nature, along with her displays made me stop to browse and chat.  

Chelsey (along with her mother) spoke of her work and the fact that although a West Virginian she resides in Scotland with her hubby.  Of course, we talked about how that happened as well as how it is for her living in Scotland. 

Chelsey, thank you for taking the time out of your day to speak with me!  You and your mother were AWESOME. 

Designer - Chelsey Adams

Providence Handmade

Talk about coloful and cheery, which is exactly what I found at Providence Handmade!  Stephanie Woody's products just caught my eye and pulled me toward her displays.

The fabric that Stephanie uses is unique and how you weaves different patterns together, and make it look good is a gift.  She's also a wonderful person to talk to, as I found out as she told me about her business and showed my daughter how to work an Ipad. 

Thank you Stephanie (and your husband) for your hospitality!

Designer - Stepahnie Woody and her husband

Zendik Arts

Has a rich history that I had no idea until I came upon them at FestivALL and did the research for this post.  Zendik Arts is a part of a Foundation and Farm that is located in West Virginia. 

The Zendik Arts Farm is a commune in West Virginia foudned on the principles of the late Wulf Zendik, a health fanatic and artist who started his first commune in California in 1969. 

They have mastered the art of recycling old magazines and catalogs into hand rolled paper bead jewelry.  AWESOME! 

Designer - Kare Roberts

Chrizart by Christine Keller

When I came upon Christine's space I thought of little girls just loving this, and my daughter sure did!  She even asked me to purchase a ring for her, which I didn't because she's not old enough to keep up with it.  But if you love fun jewelry, this is the designer for you!
