Meet Cole's Shop!

Nicole is the darling lady behind Cole's Shop.  A styling gal currently based in Texas, Nicole crafts all kinds of treasures including  ADORABLE tutu's.  We're so glad she was willing to participate in Never Knew!  Her tutu's and awesome french novel vintage Christmas ornaments have already arrived and let me tell you, I want one of those tutu's in MY size.  You WILL want to arrive at Never Knew first thing at 10:00am, because I don't think these darlings will last long.  See you Friday!

Meet Brooke Bowen!

I hope Brooke loves that I used this picture of her.  I love this picture from when I first met the amazing artist Brooke.  My family volunteered at This Is The Place heritage park and we were assigned to the Fairbanks home, where Brooke was the residence artist.  She spent her hours working at the park painting, spinning and dying wool, knitting and doing all kinds of clever projects.  We spent our hours at the park watching her in amazement.

Now Brooke is married and has a darling baby boy and we are so excited for you to have the opportunity to purchase her art at Never Knew Boutique.  You can visit her here, and here are a few pictures for you to dream about while you wait.  See you Friday!

Meet ckb creations!

Chris is another super talented lady that Lesa and met at Swiss Days and just KNEW we wanted her to be a part of Never Knew (we both came home with treasures made by ckb!).  ckb creations is the home of handcrafted artisan jewelry.  Here's an introduction in her own words ...

I have been making jewelry for over 12 years and started my own business in 2000. It is my guilty pleasure but also my job... I am so lucky! The loves of my life, besides making jewels, are my boys: my wonderful husband and two almost-perfect teenage boys (because no teenagers are perfect!)


Chris has an etsy shop here.  Here are a few pictures of some things I have my little eye on!

Meet Fuhriman Finds and Firsts!

Meet Krista!

Krista's sweet family recently relocated to a tiny town in Wyoming and her sweet husband pledged his support to any hobbies she wanted to take up while she was adjusting to her new surroundings.  Lucky for you (and us!), one of the hobbies she has been devoting her time to is up-cycling fun furniture finds.

We feel so lucky to have her participating in Never Knew Boutique!  Check her out here and then call your besties and make plans to shop with us on Friday!

Here's a little peek at a few things Krista has been working on.  I have my eye on that darling lamp!

RubySnap!

We couldn't be happier to have RubySnap joining us! She needs no introduction since she is already the undeniable queen of all things hip and tasty in Salt Lake.

If you haven't made a visit to Ruby's ultra-cool cookie headquarters at 770 South 300 West in SLC, then you are missing out! A RubySnap stop is a priority for my kids EVERYtime we are in Salt Lake. Tasty treats, charming ambiance, and the sweetest Snapette girls serving you!

Ruby is opening a 2nd store in Heber soon, but lucky you Park City - you get to come meet her at the Never Knew Boutique!

HeadHugs by Joleen!

The best part of hosting a boutique is getting to meet talented ladies from all over. We're looking forward to getting to know this lady who is of relative of one of our dear friends. Joleen is the woman behind Headhugs by Joleen, using her fast and furious fingers to crochet precious hats, headbands, wrist warmers and other goodies. I know the downward direction of the thermometer this week has me wishing someone will send my head a hug! Don't be late for Never Knew, you won't want to miss out on these cute Headhugs!

Meet ReVamp!

Diane is the genius behind ReVamp - a company that puts the UP in the up-cycle. Diane is a Parkite now, but like Lesa and I, she is a beach girl at heart. We were so excited when we saw Diane's creations, we wanted to start shopping early! You'll want to be spot on time to grab up the cutest offerings ReVamp brings to Never Knew. Check ReVamp out here and enjoy these teaser pictures in the meantime ...

Meet MKM Designs!

MKM is a project of love for Madi and her mom.  Lesa and I first saw them at Swiss Days, when we had to fight and elbow our way for a spot inside their fantastic tent.  They make the cutest jewelry - bracelets, hair pins, earrings, belt buckles and more.  I LOVE their cute story of their family history of jewelry making:

"I come from a lineage of jewelers starting with my Great Grandpa Adams, then my Grandpa Calvin Adams, my Mother Stacey Adams Farrer, and now myself Madi McQueen. I spent many days as a child in the jewelry shop “diggin for gold” in my grandpa’s tool drawer and scavenging the ground for tiny precious jewels. It was not so much that they needed young eyes or an extra hand, it was more that I loved being a part of their wonderful creations.

The love of creating is continued today through button jewelry and leather goods very different from that of my heritage. How ever different the style may be, the passion and tradition lives on. As a mother daughter partnership we strive to consistently come up with new brilliant pieces that you will love. "

Here's some eye candy for you from MKM Designs.  Check them out here and start thinking of all the people on your gift list (including you!) that would LOVE to get one of these treasures!

Vendor Spotlight - Mico Shoes!

Meet Nicole! 

Not only is she gorgeous (inside and out!), she is one of those ladies that you know was BORN with style!  Nicole started making these darling baby shoes as baby shower gifts - I'm sure everyone who saw them wanted a pair, and today she is the talent behind Mico shoes.

I want a pair of these in my size!

These are so sweet I might buy some just to put on my dresser and make me smile in the mornings.

Check out Mico Shoes here and don't be late to Never Knew Boutique on October 14 - I'm sure the darling shoes Nicole sends us will be snatched up fast!
