Daughter of the Charm (5/27, 7/1, 8/5, 9/23) (NEW for 2023!)
Inspired by a dress, my mother made for my doll, I started sewing at four years old. When I was in art school, I made and sold mini skirts on Haight Street in San Francisco, in the 1960’s. After winning a Tiffany foundation fellowship to apprentice weavers in New Mexico, I began making and selling at craft shows there. I design and sewed children’s clothing when my kids were growing up. For the last 25 years, I’ve been sewing vintage inspired kitchen fashion and accessories, and selling at bakeries, restaurants, farmers market and other craft events.
Products include: Aprons for all ages and genders, potholders, cast-iron handle covers, placemats, bowl cozies, bread and produce bags, purses and market bags, baby and adult bibs.

Earthen Goat (5/6, 6/24, 7/8, 8/5, 9/2, 10/28)
While navigating career shifts and life events in 2019, Kevin Blonski began to revisit his love for ceramics. He pitched the idea of a pottery business to his partner Sam Levisay, and they began to brainstorm. Since they both have a passion for plants (with countless houseplants in their apartment), it was only natural to gravitate towards plants and pottery – the perfect pairing.
In August 2020, after many, many months of work, planning, and thought that Earthen Goat was officially established. Since then they have worked with a variety of other Lehigh Valley based companies and creators and they continue to grow as artists and as a business. All of their pottery is handmade and kiln fired in Easton, PA.

Artist Emma Rimi: As a potter, I want the clay to act as another voice of expression. Recently, I have been focusing on the absolute beauty in nature and how to showcase this in ceramic form. My work consists of inspirations from real life conversations, experiences, and the earth that surrounds me. I want to capture and fossilize this by confronting one to look deeper and realize the beauty and little intricacies in life and nature. All pots are food, dishwasher, and microwave safe!
