Spotlight: Tangs and Tines

Time keeps slipping by, and you know what that means: It's getting closer to the Wintry Market! We could not be more excited for the variety and quality of vendors we have lined up! Speaking of, we would like to introduce Tangs and Tines.

Upcycled silver jewelry made from antique and vintage silverware. That's what Tangs and Tines is all about. They started by making jewelry as gifts for their own family, but demand got so big they decided to make it available to everyone! They make a wide selection of jewelry from the old silverware, including rings, earrings, bracelets, even hair barrettes. Using antique and vintage silverware gives each piece a personal quality with an air of individuality and authenticity. 

Not only do we love the designs that Tangs and Tines creates, but we are really jealous that their family gets amazing handmade jewelry as gifts all the time! Luckily for the rest of us, Tangs and Tines will be selling their gorgeous wares at the Wintry Market, so we don't have to feel left out! Come check them out! 

Yay...Poster!

So we just love love love our poster created by Jason Sievers. Please email us if you would like to be put on the list for displaying the official poster of the 2011 Wintry Market.

We are busy working with our vendors, and getting all the details ready for the big day! Help us spread the word for Wintry Market by grabbing the button to the right and adding it to your blog or website.

Spotlight: Miss Courageous

Us crafty ladies here at Wintry Market have been swamped sorting through the overwhelming amount of applications we have received! We are amazed at the talent that this town has and will be releasing a final list of vendors here soon! In the meantime.......

It's time for another vendor spotlight! This time around, we are spotlighting Miss Courageous. Millie Hilgert designs and makes all Miss Courageous jewelry & accessories. Everything she makes used to be something else. Call it upcycling, recycling, repurposing, eco-friendly, crafting green, re-use, reinvent, or redesign. Whatever you call it, ultimately it means you get something fresh, fun and new from something that reminds you of your childhood. From vintage game pieces and record vinyl to bottle caps and altered LEGO bricks, Miss Courageous transforms pop culture into Pop Jewelry and Accessories for you and your home. We love the idea of taking normal, household items and turning them into fantastic pieces of jewelry, like this recycled record necklace, Scrabble bracelets, and lego cufflinks!

Her work has been seen on Boise’s channel 6 news; featured in the Idaho Statesman, the Boise Weekly, Treasure Valley Family Magazine, Eagle Magazine, Las Vegas Home & Design and showcased on several popular blogs. Come visit Millie and her beautiful work at Wintry Market on November 5th and 6th!
