Holizaar Vendor Spotlight: The Quitling Violinist

Yes, Linda Hall really is a quilting violinist!  "I started playing violin when I was 4! So I wasn't crafty as a child, I was violin-y. But a basic quilting class( taken on a whim in 1994) changed me forever. It's been incredibly exciting going from being a violinist with a quilting hobby to becoming The Quilting Violinist."

Holizaar Vendor Spotlight: The Crafty Hag

Coralette Damme, the gal behind The Crafty Hag, is one of the original Craft Heroes and loves to help give local creators an opportunity to show and sell their wares each year.  She always has fun new creations and is endlessly working on new projects.  Although she is an accomplished painter, her favorite media continues to be block printing with its bold contrasts and strong lines. Her most favorite holiday being Halloween you'll notice a slightly spooky slant to much of her work, with nature being her other greatest influence. She's no stranger to the dark side, and imbues it with whimsy, humor and good-natured self-mockery.

Holizaar Vendor Spotlight: Functionhouse Urban Lumber and Furnishings

Would you could you love some wood?  You will fall in love with these gorgeous creations from Funktionhouse Urban Lumber and Furnishings!    Each piece is one of a kind, made from urban trees cut down in our own neighborhood. Owners Robert & Zoë Bocik salvage these beautiful trees by working with local arborists, home-owners, and municipalities—having trees that otherwise would have been firewood or landfill delivered to their on-site milling yard. Together, they mill and then render this gorgeous wood for use after drying it in their on-site dehumidifying kiln. Because Rob & Zoë are involved ‘hands-on’ with every step of the process from tree selection and milling to completed object, their love for wood and passion for the environment is translated into their beautiful and elegant furnishing designs; showcasing the incredible figure and colors of urban lumber, utilizing simple builds and completing each project with natural finishes; letting the wood “speak for itself”.
