Lily of the Valley Expressions and Jumping Dog Studios

A fair is fantastic in so many ways, but a fair with a friend is the tops!  The Swing will be featuring over 40 vendors for your enjoyment and one of the booths will give you double the fun thanks to Andrea White and Alexis Bechtold.  These two friends have been upcycling materials with their own personal flair and creating one of a kind prettiness for their respective shops.

Andrea White uses discarded materials and whips them up into darling accessories like the headbands featured here.

Each is one of a kind and so bright and beautiful- any friend would love to receive one of her pieces as a gift...hint, hint :)

In a similar upcycled fashion, Alexis Bechtold uses papers and plastics to produce pendants, earrings and unique totes like the one below.  Vintage NKOTB trading cards have been magically transformed into a bag for those still carrying a torch all these many years later ;)

Both ladies have online shops and donate their sales to worthy non profits.  You can find Andrea White's work in her Etsy shop and Alexis Bechtold's work in her Artfire shop.  Be sure to check out their profiles in their shops and learn more about the work they support with their businesses.
