Hello! I'm Emily Higley, and I've been with the Crafts Unlimited Show for two years now! I create rustic string art and wood burned signs created from locally-sourced reclaimed wood and barnwood. I love creating handmade, one -of-a-kind pieces for others to enjoy. I've been crafting for as long as I can remember - I got the crafting bug from my Mom, and fellow Crafts Unlimited artist, Laurie Johnson. I live with my husband Jacob and teach preschool. When I'm not nailing, stringing, or woodburning, you can find me: enjoying the outdoors, photographing anything/everywhere, sipping tea, rooting for my beloved WSU Cougars, and spending time with my family and friends. You can find my string-art, and other rustic goodies at the following shows, and online at Prindle Mountain Market.

Hi, My name is Kathy Eaton. This is my second year with Crafts Unlimited.  I am really blessed to be a part of this show.  I live in Troutdale Oregon with my husband of 43 years.  I enjoy using vintage items and re-purpose them into amazing things to share.  For the show I make handbags from vintage 33-1/2 record album covers. I also turn vintage books into journaling books.  I turn the smaller vintage books into address books.  This year my new items are a variety of serving trays. I have participated in numerous bazaars over the years including 10 years at the Expo holiday bazaar. My husband and I decided 2 years ago to leave the Expo and do smaller handcrafted bazaars for the warmer atmosphere. I teach at a private school in Troutdale and have been there for 33 years.My favorite things are crafting, painting, sewing, kayaking, campking, yard work, and traveling.  I have 2 children and love spending time with my six grandchildren.
