Vendor Spotlights

Hi my name is Susie, with Coast Live Oak Creations.  I was introduced to pottery by my sister and quickly fell in love with having a creative outlet, working with my hands and the science behind it. I was soon in search of more creative ways to apply chemistry.  One night, while visiting my sister I found my answer: making cold process soap.

I started out gifting soap to friends and family, before I knew it I was getting requests for soap, selling it alongside my pottery at craft fairs. The timing was perfect so I decided that I would take my creative outlet to the next level and launched my company. We are a Central Coast California-based, first generation American, female-owned and operated small business.

Our soaps are created using sustainably sourced oils, butters, and other natural ingredients. Each bar is allowed several weeks to fully cure to ensure a long lasting, hard bar of soap. The bars are then individually packed in an eco-friendly, recyclable box.  We never use pre-mixed bases or melting craft soap. And our functional pottery is food safe, oven and microwave safe.  We carry our sustainability practices in our pottery by recycling clay. 

The Humble Hook and Needle is a mother-daughter team consisting of Macy and myself. We love the freedom and excitement involved in making handcrafted items. As a child I developed a love for crocheting from my grandmother. Within the last 12 years I have focused on improving my crochet skills and have expanded to knitting as well. I have always been eager to make my own clothes. 

Recently I began making items that I find comfortable and stylish.  Macy realized her passion for sewing a year ago and began creating charming and practical hats, bags and baby items. As a new mother herself, she understands what mothers find useful. She has an eye for color and pairs fabric combinations beautifully.

We are dedicated to improving our skills and trying new things. This will be our first event as vendors, and we are happy to share our creations with you.  

Our booth will have variety of items for every budget from pot scrubbers to baby blankets to cardigan sweaters and much more in between.  

I have been crafting and creating for as long as I can remember.  I started with embroidery floss bracelets when I was a young kid and continued making jewelry as well as learning new crafts and skills along the way.  

During the beginning of the pandemic, I opened an Etsy shop selling face masks using fun fabric (characters, TV shows, seasonal) and would give away free stickers with orders. I quickly realized I enjoyed making stickers more than masks and pivoted to making stickers full time.  Suburban Standard Shop was born. Check us out at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SuburbanStandardShop.

Last summer, my daughter and I fell in love with beading after taking a class at Kandra's Bead Shop in Pismo.  We love making bracelets and necklaces using japanese seed beads, natural stones, and crochet yarn while listening to music or binge-watching a show together.  We created a sister site, The Monarchy Shop, which showcases the jewelry we make. Check us out at https://www.etsy.com/shop/themonarchyshop.

We're looking forward to sharing our handmade stickers and jewelry with this year's craft fair!

Started in 2020, from a need I had. I built my own custom challenge coin holder display flag, posted it on my instagram, and immediately had a few coworkers and friends ask me if I could build one for them. 

This started as a hobby, and has grown since my first few orders. 

I enjoy building and making, and have turned it into a very small business, of which I hand make everything. I specialize in full custom builds. 

 Liz Rempel and Michele Rempel of Windows to Waves are a mother-daughter team that creates sparkly, beachy artwork using sea shells, glass, pigments, resin and other media.
Their creations make perfect gifts and souvenirs for beach lovers who want to hang a piece of the Central Coast on their walls.   

 Orions Divine Crystalline was a dream born from having a love for crystals, jewelry, & cats. 

This small business was started in 2021 by Dezii Alarcon, a locally born artisan with a passion to enhance the divinity in you! ‘Orion’ originates from a Greek myth, & is in memory of Dezii’s first kitten who passed away suddenly. 

Each item is adorned with natural gemstones & created with metals that are either 100% sterling silver or 14k gold filled. The use of these metals makes each creation resistant to everyday wear & fading unlike brass or nickel.

Bonus - each design packaging is created from 100% eco-friendly materials!

My name is Kathleen Stowell and go by Kat. I have been in the massage business for over 25 years and when the pandemic hit, like most business, I needed to find something else to help the family household. 

My husband gifted me a laser engraver/cutting machine. I knew nothing about lasers. I was completely intimidated by just the size of this thing but because I have always loved making things from jewelry to crafting I dove right into it. I had the means to sell my creations at my business to the point that it was supporting my business. 

That being said, I recently retired from my massage business so I can focus just on my laser business. I love it when someone comes to me and ask “Can you make this”. I’m up for the challenge and in most cases I have been able to make it. 

I now have 2 lasers. A CO2 which allows me to engrave and cut wood and acrylic and a fiber laser which allows me to engrave on metals and rocks and much more.

Hello, my name is Alma Bibian and I'm the creator and owner of Trippy Hippy Chic!

Hi, I’m Christina Rugebregt and am a local crafter; and owner of “Threaded Treasures” which you can find on Facebook. 

Although sewing is my primary focus, I also do many projects with

Cricut; which is where my crafting journey originated. My drive with crafting came from my desire to help others. It was early in the Covid pandemic when I made sewing a priority, I decided to make masks; of which I had sewn myself, over 2000 masks. During this time I began

making custom masks and that evolved into my current product line. 

My sewing products are: Totes, Coin Purses, Pot Holders, Bowl Cozis, Flat Iron Traveling Pouches, Cosmetic Bags,

Table Runners, Place Mats, and more. Everything can be made totally CUSTOM! Currently I'm making seasonal and sport related sewing items.

Come by my booth and let’s make your Holidays gifts, Unique!

After living in Gilroy, my husband and I and our son and family moved to Paso Robles 3 years ago.  In Gilroy we had a small studio where glass bead making, glass blowing, lapidary, metal working and stone carving classes were offered and taught by well-known instructors.  While waiting for our new shop building to be completed at here,  I am continuing one of my hobbies, glass fusing.  

Fusing involves creating a design, cutting the glass pieces by hand, shaping with a grinder and melting the project in a kiln up to 1500 F degrees, for 8-12 hours.  Keeping our minds engaged in creativity is so important for our health.  

I continue to learn to work with metals, make jewelry, and cut and polish natural stones and fuse glass.  I look forward to teaching our grandchildren and others to explore some of the art forms that I have learned. I also like to encourage minorities and youth in this area to become involved in art activities.  

We have planted over 50 fruit trees that will give so much fruit next year; the peaches were abundant this year and fruit canning is also one of my favorite hobbies!   

Welcome to Crafty Frys. We are the Fry family, Michael and Carla.  We started Crafty Frys as a hobby in 2019 with a Cricut and a desire to do something different from our full time job.

A little about us.  We have both served proudly for 18 years with the California National Guard.  We have been deployed and a part of many State activations.

Throughout the years, our little hobby eventually turned into a small business.  Our crafts range from serving boards to wood and leather earrings, tumblers to bottle openers, wireless charges to squirrel feeders. Everything in our shop can be customized.  

Come start your Christmas shopping at our booth.  We have something for everyone on your list.

Growing up with rock hound parents & going camping all over the states since I was 6 weeks old,  I acquired a wonderful lust for traveling.  

I grew to appreciate the  Southwestern Design and have been drawn to the style & colors of the desert.  

I like to use a lot of turquoise as it has so many different shades along with natural bone beads for my creations. I also prefer to use Jasper,  Tiger Eye, shell, coral, and anything that is a natural gift of the land.  

All my creations are unique and not one, is the same as another. Ever.
