Two Plus Two are perfect take anywhere, use for anything, utilitarian pouches…but so adorable, you’ll want to gift multiples of them:

“We’re two moms who share a love of style, great prints and sewing. Combine that with a passion for doing what’s best (and cutest!) for our young kids + the planet and you get chic reusable bags that are food-safe and free of lead, BPA and phthalates.

When our little ones reached an age where they needed lots of snacks + lunches on the go, we started searching for a less wasteful alternative to the plastic baggie. While there were other reusable bags on the market, none of them worked just as we wanted or kept the food as fresh as we’d liked. So we fired up our sewing machines and started making our own. After much trial and error, we landed on the products we now offer. They keep food incredibly fresh and the easy-to-pull tabs make them super manageable for little, independent fingers. They are also incredibly versatile – did you ever notice how much loose stuff you tote around?! They’re a perfect and perfectly stylish solution for your family + the planet. Enjoy!”

With an ever-changing range of handmade items, by Elke is a vendor you won’t want to miss!

“I am so excited to be a part of the Firefly Handmade Holiday Market! With every season, the products I make change & evolve as I go along.  Currently I’m working with leather scraps whether it’s in handbags or bracelets & accessories.  It is the most fun for me when I find the needed materials in vintage or second-hand shops & repurpose the fabric into usable items.

I am crazy about great  textures so tend to stick with very high quality materials that feel great to the touch & are also strong enough to also withstand daily use.  My assortment can tend to be a bit eclectic but there is always an element that ties all the products together. For holiday, I have collected vintage shirt studs from the mid 1800’s to early 1900’s & have incorporated these into bracelets, handbags, belts & key rings.”

Benjamin Ballerina clothing is created one piece at a time, by hand, from reclaimed fabrics. Each piece of fabric is then hand screen-printed with original photographic imagery. The imagery is based on a theme that changes seasonally. By using reclaimed images and materials, Benjamin Ballerina is breathing new life into otherwise discarded and disregarded treasures of our everyday lives.

The Benjamin Ballerina line, or ‘Pretty Tough Clothing for Kids’ focuses on quality handmade clothing for children helping consumers to move away from mass produced products that all look the same. This line is a collaborative effort between local creatives Dylan Scholinski and Maggie Evans.
