Vendor Profile - Roxie Roxit Handmade Dolls

Roxie Ross of Roxie Roxit Handmade Dolls has been making handmade crafts and art pieces for as long as she can remember. She worked with a variety of mediums over the years but found her passion in the creation of my one of a kind handmade cloth dolls. Working out of her home studio in Vallejo, California she started making dolls for Christmas gifts in 1996.  After making a dresser drawer full of prototypes she finally came up with the pattern she uses today.

Every doll is named and comes with clothes and accessories to suit their individual unique personality. The dolls clothes, made from original patterns using new and recycled fabrics and yarn, are removable and can be mixed and matched.  This holiday season she has launched a new line of soft and huggable kid-friendly dolls.  They are just as fabulous as their more sophisticated sisters only much simpler without buttons or wires.

Vendor Profile - Bug Under Glass

Meeting an entomologist convinced Kevin Clarke to quit a career in finance and pursue a Master’s Degree in Conservation Biology that focused on insect conservation. While in grad school, he learned about Butterfly Farming and the positive impact it has on forest conservation, while at the same time providing an important income to disadvantaged populations.
Bug Under Glass pupated in 2002 to combine a love of insects, art, science education and conservation. Every display Kevin makes has a little story attached to it that brings to life the insect inside. His displays also make a valuable contribution to forest conservation by helping butterfly farmers support a lifestyle that preserves rainforest, instead of cutting them down.
